Sled Hockey Wrap-Up
A big thank you to all the participants in this season's sled hockey game held at the Iceland Ice Rink on December 13, 2009 against the Hornets Sled Hockey team. Both the Varsity and JV Maine High School Hockey teams faced off against the Hornets sled hockey team. The Maineiacs were out played and out scored by the Hornets-but all involved had a great time. As part of the event,the Maineiacs held a bake sale to raise moey for the Hornets sled hockey team and a food drive to support the Maine Township food pantry. The bake sale raised over $120 for the Hornets and roughly160 non-perishable food ītems were collected for the food pantry. Thank you again for your support of this fun and wonderful event.

AHAI Neck Guard Rule
AHAI Neck Guard Policy - Revised June 2009
NECK GUARD RULE - Players must wear neck guards for all on
ice activities. If a player is observed on the ice without a neck guard , the
official will remove that player from the ice until he or she is in compliance.
Neck guards must be worn according to the manufacturers specifications. They
must fit properly not over sized, pushed down, unzipped, rolled over, taped or in
any way altered. If they are modified in any way they are not neck guards and
the player will be removed. Failure to leave the ice will result in a delay of
game penalty. A misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player or goalkeeper
of that team for a subsequent violation during that game.
NECK GUARD DEFINITION - Neck guards are specifically
designed by the manufacturer to protect the neck. They are clearly labeled as
such. There are the shirt type that zip up or the band type that attach with
velcro. Arm bands, head bands, ear warmers, plain turtle necks and moc-turtle
necks are not neck guards.
