The KC affiliation form must be filled out in full and the original handed in to your registrar on or before November 10th.

Affiliated Players are not eligible to skate with your team until they have been entered on your team sheet and approved by EMHA. Your registrar will email you an updated copy of your Team Sheet once this has been processed. Teams can affiliate a full team in a tier below them, or up to 19 players. If, through the tiering process, an affiliated player or team moves to the same tier as the team they have been affiliated to, the affiliated player/team is no longer eligible while at that tier.

Coaches are to ensure the required permission has been obtained from the affiliate player’s team management each time the player is needed (including for a practice). Affiliates are only to be used when the team is missing a player due to injury, illness, suspension, or another form of absenteeism. Affiliates CAN be used during playoffs, but NOT during Minor Hockey Week. An affiliate player may not play more than 5 games after January 10th. Prior to January 10th, a player is not restricted on the number of games they can play provided permission was obtained from the players coach or manager. An affiliate goaltender must actually participate in a game to count as a game played.

The timekeeper and/or referee should verify this on the back of the game sheet when it occurs. All other affiliates named on a game sheet will have a game charged against their record regardless if they participate in the game or not.
