Participant |
"I'd love to play. Question: How do I sign up?" Answer: You need to do 3 tasks - see below - look for the 3 BIG, RED numbers. PREVIOUS participant: If you played in the group LAST YEAR (except for 'temporary replacement' participants), you will be contacted by the CMOT Organizer, asking "Are you 'IN' or 'OUT' (not playing), for this year?" Task 1. Please respond as soon as possible, saying 'IN' or 'OUT.' If you are 'OUT,' thanks for being a part of the group, last year. If you are 'IN,' you have 2 more simple tasks to perform. Task 2. If you are 'IN,' please fill out the CMOT Application Form (link is below). NEW participant: If you DID NOT play in the group LAST YEAR, ONLY once you have been invited (by the CMOT Organizer) to play in the group, please fill out the CMOT Application Form (link is below).
CMOT Application Form - Please click here to get to the form. Please fill out the CMOT Application Form, in its entirety (takes all of about 1 minute). No form, no play - sorry. For both PREVIOUS and NEW participants, the CMOT Organizer may contact you, to verify any details on your application. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Payment of CMOT Entry Fee: |
Now, if you are 'IN' for this year (as soon as possible, after filling out the CMOT Application Form): Task 3. Please send a CMOT Entry Fee ETRF (electronic/e-mail bank transfer) to the CMOT Organizer (at Dan2024ATHerauf.com) and use the sport we are playing (6 letters, all lower case, no spaces, no quotes, rhymes with 'schmockey') as the 'security question' answer (if you are asked to set up a 'security question/answer'). First come, first serve - your payment guarantees your spot - no payment, no play - sorry. Get your money in early, will fill up fast! This applies to 'PREVIOUS participants' and to 'NEW participants.' We don't take 'reservations' and we do keep a 'waiting list' (you can be replaced). Please see our 'Cancellation Deadline' for participants who 'drop out' of the group.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Important |
February 14, 2024: Application open to age 35+ participants who played in last year's group (35+, PREVIOUS participant). If the CMOT Organizer does not hear from you by February 20, 2024, your spot is in jeopardy. February 15, 2024, 5:00pm MST: For those 35+ PREVIOUS participants who have (for this year's session) performed the following 3 'Participant Sign Up' tasks: February 21, 2024: Application open to age 35+ participants who did not play in last year's group (35+, NEW participant) February 28, 2024: If extra participants are still required, application open to age 19+ participants who played in last year's group (19+, PREVIOUS participant) March 14, 2024, 1:00am MST: As of that date/time, all payments are now 'overdue.' For those who have not yet paid, you are now responsible for the Late Payment Fee, as well. If you are not interested in playing, we will go to our 'waiting list,' and we will give away your spot. March 21, 2024, 1:00am MST: 'Cancellation Deadline.' After this deadline, no refunds for cancellation - sorry, no exceptions (e.g. health, wealth, kids' tournaments, ovulation, whatever, . . . ). (Okay, here's an exception) Due to COVID-19, we will be refunding (pro-rated) CMOT Entry Fees, as applicable (depending on how many weeks get cancelled, if any weeks get cancelled). Thanks.

Refreshment Club: |
A Gentlemen's Club "The first rule of Refreshment Club is: You do not talk about Refreshment Club." We will congeal on the 'Grassy Knoll' (or at the 'asphalt corner' (SW), if needed). Cheers! Round 1: x 72 (quantity) of COLD, non-lite (5% or more) refreshments, please (each person will bring 36 refreshments, 2 people per session). Round 2: x 72 (quantity) of COLD, non-lite (5% or more) refreshments, please (each person will bring 24 (TBD) refreshments, 3 (TBD) people per session). Quantities to bring are based on the allocation of 2 refreshments 'ish' per person. Bring your own 'Safety units,' if you are really thirsty. No 'dipping into' ('pre-drinking') the refreshments before or during the ice time, please. Bring your own 'Safety units,' if you want to 'dip in' early. Approved brands: Canadian, Pil, Bud, Stella, Kokanee, Big Rock 'signature series' (Traditional, Warthog, Grasshopper, Honey Brown), Keith's, Sleeman's, Heineken, anything from Brewster's pub Disapproved brands: Big Rock 'off brand' stuff (Purple Gas, cherry, berry, grapefruit, etc.), Boxer, Crow, Lucky, Brewhouse, Keystone, Red Wagon, 'ice tea beer,' anything 'lite,' or anything else that you 'got for a great price.' DON'T BRING SH_IT_E!!! Serve'em cold, B!: Must be served surrounded by clean ice (of some description). And you must actually take the ice out of the bag. Cube ice can be purchased at the Tempo (formerly Husky) gas station (just up the road, north of the arena), at a whole $3.99 ish per bag! If you can find good, clean, non-yellow snow, that will do, too (good luck with that, in mid July!). Note: These refreshments are meant to be enjoyed, in the comfort of the change rooms (or on the 'Grassy Knoll' or at the 'asphalt corner' (SW)), with your ice mates - not for 'taking home.' If you don't think you're going to "get your money's worth," by spending quality time 'with the boys,' then don't sign up for Refreshment Club (and don't 'dip in' for 'freebies'). 'Coolers' (cool box, ice box): Due to the majority (usually) of Refreshment Club members being in 'Change Room 1,' both refreshment 'coolers' should be delivered to 'Change Room 1' but refreshments will definitely be shared with Refreshment Club members in both change rooms. Remember: "It's not your beer, it's your beer night." You don't have to show up at hockey but your the beer does. As of 2024-04-30, when needed, please use the arena washroom facilities (not the trees at the Grassy Knoll). The neighbors will appreciate it. Thanks. One more thing: "You do not talk about Refreshment Club." |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grill Club: | (in conjunction with the Refreshment Club) Again, we will congeal on the 'Grassy Knoll' (or at the 'asphalt corner' (SW), if needed). Prost!
Thanks to Michael Wenig for running the 'Grassy Knoll' Grill Club this year. Well done, Mike! And thanks to Paul Rubner and Don Gillis (and to the McLoud brothers, for filling in, when necessary) for "grillin' like a villain" all summer long. Good work, all!
When it's your turn to bring the food, please bring: 30 sausages: It’s your call on the type of sausages to bring, as long as they aren’t "minis" and aren’t “hot dogs” (a.k.a. “frankfurters”). Also, not everyone likes super spicy sausages so you might want to bring some medium/mild ones, if you bring real hot ones (Costco’s Marc Angelo "hot" or "mild Italian" sausages seem to be a hit with this crowd). Thank you. 30 buns/rolls: It's your call on the type of buns to bring but try to avoid the really cheap ones that taste like thin cardboard. Don't bring "hot dog" buns. Please bring the larger "hoagie roll" style. Thanks. 2 bags of chips/nachos: The larger "party size" bags, please, in various flavors. Salsa or dip (for the chips) is always welcome but is not 'required.' Ole!
CanadianMoose.com is supplying the condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise, sauerkraut).

Player 'Offset:' |
In an attempt to keep the teams as evenly matched as possible, we have implemented a player 'offset' system. We have 'scouted' each player's hockey 'skill' level and tried to match up sets of 2 players of similar hockey 'skill' levels.' Continuing, please find your 'offset' (from the list below). If you have not already done so, please introduce yourself to that person, at the first ice time (or whenever you can). For each ice time, to split our group into 2 'teams,' you and your 'offset' will (unless directed to, by the CMOT Organizer) play on the opposite CMOT team. That is achieved by you and your 'offset' deciding who wears what color jersey (e.g. you wear a white jersey and your 'offset' wears a dark colored jersey (or vice versa)). Switching colors, once in a while, will give the 2 teams different rosters, from week to week. If your offset is ABSENT from any ice time, please let the CMOT Organizer know, before that ice time (in the change rooms or during the 'warm up' skate). For those ice times where your offset is ABSENT, to try to keep the teams evenly matched, the CMOT Organizer will let you know what color jersey to wear (for that ice time). Please come prepared with both a white jersey and a dark colored jersey. Thanks.
