Statement from Gary Joseph, West Section about Parent Issues. NOTE for the 2025-26 there will be a mandatory Parent Code of Conduct.

EAHC may receive complaints by teams with concerns over player intimidation, parent issues in the stands, coach misbehavior, etc. We hope all have a calm, fun and enjoyable 2025-26 season without these types of issues.

EAHC will require all 10U to 18U teams to use the Gamesheet scoring App on an iPAD starting in 2025-26. All 10U thru 18U team HC & Mgrs will receive an invite to setup their team in September or early October. The EAHC Schedule will be loaded to Gamesheet by the webmaster (not teams). EAHC also will use each team's USA Hockey Roster to load each team's players and Team Staff.

Instructions for Managers are below on how to accept the invitation, a link to videos on how to use the Gamesheet app and an interface to the Standings & Scores for any Games entered.

Many teams tried and used the Gamesheets App last season including most of the 14U teams with excellent results. No more mailing scoresheets!

Stay tuned for updated info for 2025-26 and info on Q&A sessions to be held on 10/5/2025 during the 10U & 12U Scheduling Sessions (14U & 18U teams also invited)

Standings, including the Fair Play Point, will be found on the 2025-26 Gamesheet Interface. More info to be posted as the start of the season gets closer.
