AHAI Announces New Mandatory Game Limits Policy!
AHAI has announced a new policy on game limits. The intent of this rule is to increase the practice to game ratio of all AHAI affiliate teams and to emulate the introduction of the USA Hockey American Development Model. Accordingly, commencing with the 2009 - 2010 season, AHAI has imposed team game limits at all USA Hockey age divisions. Game limits will be as follows.
Mite Girls U 8 = 35 games maximum
Squirt Girls U10 = 40 games maximum
Pee Wee Girls U12 = 45 games maximum
Bantam Girls U14 = 50 games maximum
Midget Minor Girls U16 = 60 games maximum
Midget Major Girls U 19 = 60 games maximum
High School = 60 games maximum
Game limits include all league, tournament and practice games. All playoff games for League, State and National competition do not count toward the team game limits. The AHAI team game limits shall be mandatory for High School, Tier II and Tier III / House / Recreation teams and recommended for Tier I teams.
Any team violating the AHAI mandatory team game limits will be subject to disciplinary action at the AHAI Rules & Ethics Committee. Penalty may include suspension of the offending team from State tournament play, suspension of the coach and possible forfeiture of an organization's affiliate membership or its Tier I, Tier II or Tier III status.
