Starting next week all ice team for the remainder of the year will be paid in full up front. For the remainder of the year that means $80 per guy for 8 more ice times.
Next year 1/2 payment will be due in the first week and 1/2 in New Year's.
We currently have 12 players (regulars) on each side plus two goalies, not including P.Gill, Bomo, Jessy and Charlie. There are enough guys wanting to play so it's pretty simple, you pay to play. The ice time is costing us over $200 per session so we can not have guys showing up when they feel like and paying when they feel like. It also puts us in a difficult position cause there are many more guys wanting to play but we end up turning them away b/c nobody wants too many players either.
If any of the following apply to you then you have the option of continuing to pay on a weekly basis, but you will only be called to play if one of the regular paying customers is not able to make it:
1) you do not agree with the new rule
2) you cannot afford to pay $80 all at once, but can blow $300 at the bar on any given night.
3) you happen to be from Port Alberni and do not want to lose $10 the next time you get wasted and pass out off two beers before Hockey.
4) you are a great poker player but due to a string of bad luck you keep losing $400 every time you go to the Casino, leaving you with no money for the $10 drop in fee.
This will be no different than if you were playing in an actual league. If you cannot make it out then you lose out on your $10 for that week. If you play in a league and you miss some games, you can't expect other guys to buck up and pay your share. Exceptional circumstances can be reviewed by the committee and reimbursement may be an option if there is excess money.
