Prescott Hockey League - November 15th Incident

On Saturday, November 15th there was an unfortunate incident that has led to the following message to all participants to advise players what this League is about.

This is a reminder that the PHL (Prescott Hockey League) is what's known as "Recreational League"  which is basically an hour of exercise. No stats, playoffs, standings, awards. What is provided are ball caps, insurance and a couple league wide get together for pizza and opportunity to wish each other the best for the holiday season or a "good summer and see you next year". Please also keep in mind that there is and has been a vast range of abilities in our league both male and female with those from the AHL, NHL, CJHL, OHL and Collegiate to those that just started to skate in the past decade or so.

We have endeavored to create a competitive balance between the teams with the hope that games are close and not one directional (large disparity) in goals. Maybe the league needs to refocus on competitive balance and respect and shed the "winning" as a goal.  

Back to the incident and what was observed during this game.

• Goaltender interference on a player chasing a puck carrier around the net
• Goaltenders striking players if they are anywhere near the crease
• Pushing the net of its pegs

Goaltenders this is the final warning about these actions

• Constant "chirping" between players on the ice and bench which only escalated intensity for the wrong reasons
• Also keep the shots low and not up around the goaltenders head, this was the major cause of what happened November 15th. Were not saying this happens frequently, just be aware. NO SLAP SHOTS !!!
• We don't have referees and players are taking advantage of this. There is too much hooking and hacking. If a player beats you let him go. Hooking, holding, clutching, tripping, any kind of interference or physical play is cheating and has no place in this league. Challenge yourself not to cheat!
• Offsides, Icing and after a goal. You have all played the game and no what these are. Give the opposition space to regroup. Stay outside the blue line.  Captains and assistants have been instructed to regulate their teams.
• Play for the love of the game and respect all other players and you will get respect back

What was a good competitively balanced game ended up putting a bad image on our League.

Don't forget, there are parents and their children waiting for the "Learn to Skate Program" and they are watching us.  As one player said, my kids are in the stands, just what they didn't need to see.

Take this as a final warning to all players. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in your removal from the League. Lets get back to fair play and keep the fun in our Saturday Hockey!

REC League Hockey With A Difference

By Martin Cleary 

Imagine a men’s recreation hockey league where players wear either black or white sweaters with no numbers, individual stats aren’t recorded, there’s no playoffs and captains can make trades on the fly to improve league parity.

Imagine the players and the referee dressing in the same room. Imagine eight sides of six players each, merged into four teams to play two games each week; teammates one week, opponents the next.

Imagine the referee calling a minor penalty and, instead of having the player sit for two minutes, he awards a goal to the other team. Avoid a contact penalty because that will cost you two goals.

John MacBeth doesn’t have to imagine because he has revolutionized his small slice of the hockey world, creating and sponsoring a men’s recreational league with all of those elements. His idea was simple: pure hockey, plenty of speed, and players respecting players in a spirited contest.

Statistics, rough play, suspensions and politics have been ejected from his game.

Three years ago, MacBeth, president/CEO of Mobileyes Solutions Inc., was reviewing his recreational hockey season with his friends and they weren’t happy about it. That’s when MacBeth, who also was tossed out of the Glen Cairn Men’s Hockey League in 2013 for his edgy play, decided to start from scratch.

“We can change the environment and create a new design like in business,” MacBeth said. “Why not turn it (hockey) upside down. No sacred cows. How can we create a safe environment (and have) mutual respect in a game as fast as hockey?”

The eight-team, 48-player Mobileyes Solutions Invitational Hockey League completed its first 30-game winter schedule in March to rave reviews. Nobody cared about the final standings or the fact there were no playoffs. There wasn’t a single player ejection, suspension or appeal.

Each of the eight teams had six players, including a captain, and they played once a week. The league scheduler paired one team with a different team each week to make four teams for two games.

It’s competitive hockey without the rough stuff, off-ice grumbling and hearings. It’s hockey in an oval of friendship.

“It eliminates the tribalism which is indoctrinated in men’s league hockey — us versus them,” says MacBeth, who held the season-ending meeting with the four goalies, eight captains and two referees to review the year. “It’s us versus us. The real accomplishment is getting it (that philosophy) in your head.

“The president is a facilitator. I’m responsible for discipline, but I have nothing to do. We had the odd slash or hook (penalties), but nothing beyond. What I’m so proud of is, it’s fast, hard competition. Every night we play versus our buddies. We want to beat them in the spirit of competitiveness, but not hurt them.”

Here’s the league’s season-ending Facebook posting on April 1: “Well, that’s a wrap. Great season — congratulations to whichever team won the championship.”

No fooling.
