Teams are encouraged to temporarily add substitute players to their teams in place of (or in addition to) their full-time players as necessary. Key aspects of the CBA’s sub policy are outlined below:
Liability Waiver
ALL substitute players must complete the current Liability Waiver + Emergency Contact form prior to taking the ice.
Only one form needs to be completed per calendar year. The form applies to all CBA divisions of play.
Sub Fee
We are thrilled to announce that after a very successful fundraising campaign in 2024, there is no longer a required sub fee for players picking up additional games on other teams throughout the season.
This policy was always viewed as a “necessary evil” to generate additional fundraising revenue for club events and investments, so we are very happy that new and more fun cash flows have developed to replace it.
Testing out a new division as a substitute is the very best way for our members to continue developing their skills and keep a fresh pipeline of players moving up to our more competitive divisions. We hope that with this financial barrier removed even more of you will be willing to branch out as subs this season!
