Chatham-Kents Current Standards
Implementation Stage....
Home Arena:
A group that
contracts the majority
of their total ice time
in a particular arena.
www.chatham-kent.ca
Definitions
Implementation Stage…..
If the demand for ice exceeds the supply in each home centre, each minor group must take a % of non-prime ice.
Ice time acquired outside a home arena will be credited as part of the groups non-prime ice allotment.
www.chatham-kent.ca
Demand & Supply of Ice
Implementation Stage…...
Registrants must be Chatham-Kent residents or covered under a joint use agreement and may only be counted once
www.chatham-kent.ca
Registration Data
Registration information is gathered from the previous seasons registration.
Implementation Stage....
www.chatham-kent.ca
Historical Precedent
Consideration is given to time allotment according to previous years usage.
Significant change in annual allotment is based on:
REGISTRATION LEVELS REGISTRATION COMPOSITION EMERGING NEEDS
Implementation Stage....
Any new events are to be negotiated with major users affected.
Each major user is allowed to host 1 event per year with consideration given to current events hosted.
Hours lost for special events are to be negotiated between affected groups.
www.chatham-kent.ca
Tournaments
Implementation Stage....
www.chatham-kent.ca
Affect on Adult Groups
Consideration to historical use is given when allocating adult times.
Adult groups pay 100% cost recovery rates and assist in keeping the rental fees to a minimum for minor groups.
If an adult group cancels seasonal ice, minor groups in a deficit will have first opportunity to rent the ice time.
Implementation Stage....
• Home arena groups will have first choice of available ice time allocation.
• Surplus ice will be offered in the following order:
Home arena minorgroups in a deficit
Non-home arena minor groups in a deficit
