Important Information:

What is an Occasional Playing Member?

Occasional Playing Members act as substitute players when needed and have access to:

  • On-ice activities, such as skills development sessions and shinnies.
  • Off-ice events, including the holiday party and year-end banquet.

Please note:

  • Occasional Playing Members are non-voting members (cannot participate in Board elections).
  • No guarantee of substitute play in games, but participation in all other activities is welcomed.

How does it work?

This season, teams can request substitute players to fill vacancies on a game-by-game basis when they have fewer than 10 confirmed skaters. Substitutes must have a similar skill rating to the absent player to ensure competitive balance.

In addition to players on the Occasional Player list, other league members are also eligible to substitute. When a substitute is needed, an email will be sent to all eligible players of the same skill level as the absent player. The substitution is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can Occasional Playing Members Become Permanent?

Yes! Occasional Playing Members may become Permanent Playing Members based on the TGHA Player Replacement and Substitution Policy.


Player Self-Evaluation:

 As part of registration, you'll be asked to complete a self-evaluation of your hockey skills. Don’t worry—our league accommodates players of all skill levels! This helps ensure fair and balanced player substitutions.
