Please allow the Referee in Chief and the Ice Scheduler 24-48 hours to update your team calendar and confirm referees/timekeeper after making a request.

The ice change is not considered complete until your team calendar on the Clarington Flames Website is updated and the Referee in Chief has confirmed changes.

Please also acknowledge that you have reviewed Section 10 - Cancellation and Rescheduling Rules per the OWHA Rules and Regulations. 

Section 10 – Cancellation and Rescheduling Rules
a) After scheduling day(s), teams will be allowed a period of three (3) calendar days to
change times and/or locations of games on the originally submitted schedule, after 
which time the team’s schedule will be marked Final and entered into the League’s on-
line game system. Any changes made during the 3-day grace period must be made
known to the team’s opponent. After a team’s regular season schedule is marked final,
each team will be allowed to rearrange a maximum of three (3) games during the
season.

b) Cancellation of a regular season, playoff or championship game by a team may be done
without cancellation penalty if prior approval from the OWHL is given. Any cancelled
game must be rescheduled as provided below.

c) Ice costs for a game cancelled less than two weeks before the game day becomes the
responsibility of the team which gives notice of cancellation unless the ice is used by
the non-cancelling team, or some other team. In addition, the cancelling team may be
assessed a minimum $500.00 disciplinary fine payable to the OWHA.

d) Games cancelled must be rescheduled within seven (7) days of game cancellation. Any
team that does not reschedule within the seven (7) day period may be assessed a
$500.00 disciplinary fine payable to the OWHA. A rescheduled game is not considered
to be locked into the schedule until the Convenor for that division has been notified.

e) The OWHA reserves the right to issue an additional $500.00 fine, payable to the OWHA,
to any team who either fails to show for a scheduled league game without just cause;
cancels a scheduled league game within twenty-four (24) hours of its playing time
without just cause; or refuses to reschedule a cancelled game. In addition, the OWHA
shall have the right to suspend all or any member of the team staff of the offending
team for up to one (1) year and to refuse the admission of teams from the offending
association for the next season.

f) For the purposes of this Section, a team that withdraws from the League shall be
deemed to have cancelled all of its remaining scheduled games.

g) If a game must be cancelled because one or both teams cannot travel due to inclement
weather, the following policy is in effect:

1. The team cancelling the game must DIRECTLY contact by PHONE and speak to
a designated team representative, a follow-up email must be sent to
[email protected] with both teams copied on the email, before this game
is officially considered cancelled.

2. A date for the rescheduled game is to be provided within seven (7) days.

3. Ice costs for a game cancelled less than two weeks before the game day
becomes the responsibility of the team which gives notice of cancellation
unless the ice is used by the non-cancelling team, or some other team.
