The League recognizes that there will be situations in
which a substantial number of team members may be absent
from a game or games with very short notice, due to
illness resulting from contracting the flu virus or
showing signs of infectious disease or virus, and that
it will not be possible to ice a reasonable team.
The League does not want players who are becoming ill,
are ill or are recovering from being ill to be put in
any position of having to or feeling they have to
participate in a scheduled game.
From the League's perspective, reasonable is defined as
being a situation in which there would be less than 10
skaters and 1 goalie available to start the game,
including pick-ups, as a result of flu-related
absenteeism.
Accordingly, it will be the LLFHL's policy in those
situations that the game may be cancelled following the
same procedure as for weather related postponement.
Teams are referred to Section 11 – Cancellation
Rules for details.
As with the weather cancellations, the League is making
the assumption that teams cancelling are doing so for
legitimate reasons and not simply to avoid playing a
game in which several of their top players may be
missing for other reasons such as exams, family
commitments, injuries. If it is found out that any team
has violated the Honour system associated with this
policy, the Executive will investigate and, if
warranted, apply appropriate penalties as per the
provisions of Rule 11 a) through e).
Pick up provisions will remain as per Section 7.
Please note the LLFHL will not extend the regular or
play-off season to accommodate any game cancellations
and the associated reschedules. Teams must complete
their regular season schedule and/or playoff round(s) by
the due dates stipulated at the start of the season. |
