Minnesota Hockey District 5

If weather conditions seem hazardous to highway travel and a coach questions the feasibility of traveling within the District 5 area, the following procedures should be followed:

- The Visiting team (the team traveling) coach must call Doug Kephart (320) 587-7768 or Tim Hanson (320) 235-9472. If neither Doug Kephart or Tim Hanson can be contacted, call Glenn Young (320) 693-8571

- The call MUST be made by a Coach or Team Manager, NOT a parent

Mr. Kephart and Mr. Hanson will retrieve information on travel advisories and make a decision on the game in question.

If it is decided that the game should be rescheduled the association ice schedulers are responsible for coordinating a new game date.

If it is decided that the game should be played, and the traveling team declines to play, the game will be recorded as a forfeit. The traveling team will also be fined for not playing a league game.

This policy is contained in section V-B. of the District 5 Handbook.
