Weather Related Cancellations
December 14, 2016
The EHF game cancelation policy due to inclement weather
With the winter season upon us the EHF wanted to remind everyone of our game cancelation policy due to inclement weather
EHF WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY
League games will be played unless there is an announcement made on FEDHOCKEY.com canceling games league-wide. If a league wide cancellation has not been announced but a team feels it is unsafe to travel, they must contact their organization’s director to seek league approval for canceling their game. Coaches do not have the authority to cancel games. If a team does not show for a game without prior league approval, the game will be recorded as a forfeit and that team/organization will be subject to fines. The EHF cares about the safety of its families, so a coach's cancellation request will not be unreasonably withheld.
