The 2019 LAHOA Referee Clinics have been announced.  If you are interested in becoming a referee here are some clinics you can attend.  For more information contact louism@lahoa.com or visit www.lahoa.com.

The following dates and venues have been approved for the 19/20 CAHA Tier II Weekends:

 

Oct 4-6: Riverside, Valencia, Vacaville and Irvine

Nov 8-10: Lakewood, Valencia, Vacaville and *Anaheim Ice 

Dec 13-15: KHS, Valencia, Riverside and Irvine

Jan 3-5: KHS, Lakewood, *Vacaville and Valencia

Feb 7-9: San Jose, *Simi Valley, KHS, Escondido and Valencia 

* = small event, approx 16 games

 

In an effort to address concerns of our membership the following format has been approved by the full CAHA Board of Directors for the 19/20 season:

 CAHA will attempt to schedule primarily North vs South games and North vs North at the North venues and South vs South games at the South venues. Each venue will most likely host multiple divisions each weekend.  

 

What does this mean for your team?

South teams: Ideally, 4 teams per division will travel North and play only North teams in 1 of the 5 weekends. The other 4 weekends you will be in the South venues playing your South opponents.

North teams: Ideally, you will spend 4 of the 5 weekends in North venues playing both North and South teams and travel South once to complete the round, if needed.

 However, based on the number of teams in each flight/division the above scenarios may not be adequate to complete the required games, but it is the intention of CAHA to schedule games as reasonably as possible based on the teams geographical make-up.  

 

What if there are more or less than 4 North teams in a flight/division? If there are less than 3 or 4 North teams in a flight/division South teams should anticipate playing a South opponent in order to get the required games in. 

If there are more than 4 teams in a flight/division a South team may be required to travel North more than once and/or a North team may have to travel South more than once.

 

We appreciate your patience as we roll out this new format and hope the outcome is a positive one for all our members.  Feel free to email me or your League President directly with questions. 

 

Sincerely,
