Sign up as an individual or with friends and you are drafted onto a team. Then help pick the rest of your team for the weekend. Here is your chance to play and meet some new players across all divisions, while getting away to Canmore for the Long Weekend. Every player will receive:
- 2 nights accommodation
- Friday night Draft Party with Buffet
- 5 games over the weekend (3 Saturday, 2 Sunday)
- Every team plays in a Championship game (A, B, and C finals)
- A new jersey to keep

What better way to introduce this new concept, but have the teams represent the Original Six NHL franchises - Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto
There are only 84 spots in the tournament so sign up now!

Proud Sponsor of the NCHL
With over 120 teams and 3,000 players, the Non Contact Hockey League (NCHL) is the largest adult recreational hockey league in the city of Calgary. Running year round, the NCHL welcomes players of all levels - from beginner to AA level - and provides ample recreational and competitive hockey opportunities to the local hockey community.
Hockey Experts has recently burst onto the scene to become the expert destination for Calgary's hockey community, and are proud to partner with the NCHL to help promote participation in organized hockey as a way to get even more Calgarians active in sports. Filled wall-to-wall with skates, sticks, protective, training equipment, fanwear and more, hockey players of all levels know to head to Hockey Experts to stock up on all of the gear they need to play their best. The Top Shelf pro shop offers equipment services like skate sharpening so players can get the most out of their gear - and the most out of their game. They now offer GNC Sports Nutrition Boutiques at Hockey Experts to help fuel the next big game. Most importantly, the associates at Hockey Experts are hockey lovers themselves and are able to offer truly expert service for any player looking to upgrade their gear.
The NCHL and Hockey Experts have built a program for players new to the sport of hockey, the Hockey Experts - NCHL Beginner Program. The classroom sessions are held at Hockey Experts stores and are run by professionally trained Hockey Experts' trainers. The sessions focus on educating new players on the essentials of the game - from the bare necessities like how to fit skates and helmets, to some lesser-known and often forgotten hockey tips, such as how to tape a stick. The in-store classroom sessions are followed by 12 weeks of on ice skill development and scrimmages.
Packed full of information, new players will walk away from the Hockey Experts - NCHL Beginner Program with a head full of essential hockey knowledge and skills, as well as exclusive offers on everything from skate sharpening to the purchase of equipment.
In a gear-heavy sport like hockey, this partnership represents an added incentive for players to get in the game with the best brands and expert service they can only get at Hockey Experts.

A reminder to all teams that there is absolutley no alcohol allowed in the dressing rooms, especially at all city run arenas (i.e. Max Bell Arena, Stu Peppard), the Corral and Okotoks. Any team caught with alcohol in the dressing rooms could be fined under city bylaws and/or could have their ice and the NCHL ice priviledges revoked. All incurred financial costs and fines will be responsibility of the offending team.
This rule is not a 3 strikes rule, and the NCHL will not tolerate any teams drinking in their dressing rooms.

Hockey Canada recommendations
Posted
by: Administration
Friday, October 30, 2009
On October 27, 2009, Hockey Canada released their recommendations in the fight against the H1N1 virus. It is the opinion of the NCHL that each and every team in the league follow these recommendations.
These recommendations are as follows:
1.Players should be urged to report all illnesses to their parents and the safety person/trainer. Parents are urged to keep their children away from the hockey environment if they are showing any signs of infectious disease or virus. Sick players are encouraged to see their physician if showing signs or symptoms of the H1N1 virus, and to be fully recovered prior to returning to play.
2.Players should be encouraged to wash hands routinely and always after handling hockey equipment. Frequent hand washing with soap and water is one of the best preventions we can recommend. Teams are encouraged to carry extra hand soap or hand sanitizer as not all arenas have this readily available.
3.Talk to your players about using their arm when covering their mouths and nose when coughing or sneezing as opposed to their hands.
4.Advise players to try and not touch their own mouths or nose when in the hockey environment to reduce the chance of them passing an infection on to themselves.
5.Ensure all players and staff have their own water bottles labeled with names and players numbers. Sport drink bottles should be avoided as direct lip contact is possible when drinking.
6.Officials and coaches should avoid drinking from other water bottles and have water readily available to them on their respective benches.
7.Towels should be removed from all benches. Players should not share towels, clothing, bar soap or other personal items such as razors.
8.Assist athletes in protecting their immune system by stressing they get sufficient sleep, that they do not over train and that they get proper nutrition.
With these recommendations in mind, the NCHL will no longer be supplying water bottles to NCHL games. The administration feels that it is a better solution for all players to have their own bottle at this time.
Please contact the NCHL at admin@nchl.com with any questions you might have.

Jersey Rule Enforcement

Tuesday, October 13, 2009
As we are now more than 4 weeks into the NCHL season, we will now be enforcing team jerseys. The rule reads as follows:
All teams are required to have both matching Dark (Home) and Light (Away) team jerseys.
A plain jersey consistent in color with the base color of their team’s jerseys will be accepted as a team jersey.
Any jersey with another team logo, or dissimilar in color will not be acceptable.
All players must be wearing team jerseys before the 4th week of the season.
Any players not wearing team jerseys after the 4th week of the season may cause the game to be deemed a forfeit.
All jerseys must have distinct contrasting 8”-12” numbers clearly marked (sewn, screened, sublimated, or heat-sync) on the back.
Taped numbers are not permitted.
If your team has players in the game that are not wearing "team" jerseys you will receive a warning from the NCHL, and after the third warning your game will be entered as a forfeit. To alleviate this, please ensure all players have a team jersey, or that there are suffucuent spare jerseys for your players.
Thank you from the NCHL office.
Locker Room Warning

FULLY LOCK YOUR DRESSING ROOM, BOTH EXTERNAL AND CONNECTING DOORS
WARNING
This season multiple teams in the NCHL have had their dressing rooms violated with cell phones and cash stolen during their games.
In order to avoid this very unfortunate situation from arising again, we remind all teamsTO FULLY LOCK YOUR DRESSING ROOM, BOTH EXTERNAL AND CONNECTING DOORS, during the game and while not otherwise in the dressing room.
In speaking with various players regarding this topic, it has been suggested that each team, in addition to locking their dressing room, may also wish to consider implementing a valuables bag which is taken directly to the bench.
We need to look out for one another and therefore we would ask that players in the NCHL be diligent and report to facilities staff any suspicious conduct.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

By now you may be wondering how you can participate. It is simple, you can write a story and send it to us at news@nchl.com .If it is a good story we’ll publish it and give you full credit for everyone in the city to see. Same goes for pictures, send us an interesting hockey picture you took and we could publish it, with full credit going to you.
Now, we have limited space in the paper so not everything will get published there. To make sure all good stories and pictures get out, the stories we cannot publish in the paper will be published on a dedicated league blog http://www.sun.nchl.com/ along with the stories we publish in the SUN.
