SCHEDULE FOR PLAYER AGREEMENTS FOR THE 2020-2021 SEASON; SANCTIONED EVENTS UPDATE

This Schedule is subject to the following conditions:

1. No Cuts. Any player signed to a player contract with an Association pursuant to this Schedule CANNOT be cut to make room for any player signed thereafter.

2. Refund Period. If a player/family who has signed a contract for the 2020-2021 season needs to withdraw due to financial hardship or COVID-19 concerns, they will be permitted to do so by August 15, 2020 whether or not a deposit was placed. They will receive a full refund from the Association of any monies paid to date, with the exception of the cost of jerseys or equipment that was purchased for the specific player. Players who are released under these conditions WILL NOT BE PERMITTED to play for any other National or State Tournament Bound team or another travel team, and will only be allowed to play in house league hockey for the 2020-2021 season.

3. This Schedule DOES NOT provide permission to Associations to hold on-ice tryouts or other events such as clinics or on-ice or off-ice activities, which may only be held on in compliance with the directives of the State of New York and applicable local government authorities regarding the COVID-19 State of Emergency declared by New York State.

4. NYSAHA will continue to address events as they evolve. NYSAHA will notify the membership of when tryouts and other sanctioned events may be scheduled, subject to such activities being permitted by the State of New York and applicable local government authorities.

NYSAHA SCHEDULE

May 24 - - Obligation List Due

The date by which the Obligation List is due from Associations, and must be received by the

Association’s Section President is May 24 by 5:00 p.m. Those players included on the Obligation List must be notified by the Association of their inclusion on the list by this date using the Association’s best contact information for that player, preferably using the most up-to-date email address for the player. The names of the players included on the Obligation Lists that are timely submitted to the Section Presidents will be posted on the NYSAHA website on or about May 25. If a player is not included by an Association on its Obligation List the omission does not invalidate any financial or equipment obligation, but simply results in a Release being deemed granted that player pursuant to Rule 4.A and B for purposes of the commencement of the 2020-2021 season. The provisions of Bylaw 8.4(c)(vii) [Procedures Applicable to Financial Disputes and Participant Ineligibility] may apply with respect to the obligation. If a player is included by an Association on the Obligation List and disputes the inclusion, the player may apply to the respective Section President pursuant to Rule 4.D for a Release.

May 30 - - Releases Deemed Granted All players not included on an Obligation List. All players not included on an Obligation List received by the Section President as required above, are deemed by NYSAHA to be Released pursuant to Rule 4. A and B for purposes of the commencement of the 2020-2021 season. If a player on the Obligation List satisfies the obligation with the Association, the Association must immediately notify the Section President of the player’s removal from the List, upon which the player will immediately be deemed Released by NYSAHA.

June 1 to 10 - - Tier I and Tier II National Tournament Bound Teams, and Tier III State Tournament
