Q.) Who enters Practices and Game information for our teams?
Unless otherwise directed, all practice information that is scheduled by Blaine Youth Hockey will be uploaded by the Ice Scheduler and Web Administrator for your team.
Team Managers will be responsible for entering their Teams Games on to their schedules. Due to changes that take place at the District level it is very important that you verify your games against the District 10 website and periodically recheck those dates. www.district10hockey.orgQ.) Can I just delete a date off of our team's schedule?
NO, Team Managers & Coaches need to be aware that if you delete a date on your schedule that is shared with another team you delete that date from their schedule too. The proper action to take if you are sharing ice is to edit the schedule record and remove/blank your team from the drop down box. In turn this will not delete the date off of the other teams schedule. Otherwise is gets messy. If you need help contact the Ice Scheduler or send a note to the Web Admin.Q.) How do we schedule Meetings, Outings, or other Events that don't require us to be on the ice?
You'll want to schedule meetings, outings, and other general events by adding a General Event to your team schedule.
1.) Log in as Team Manager or Coach
2.) From the ADMIN: Page select ADD GENERAL EVENT from the Scheduling Box
3.) Enter the Start Date, Start Time and Finish Date, Finish Time. If entering a date range (11/10 - 11/13) you can leave the time fields blank.

In the same manner as updating the coaches information, go to the Team Roster page and while logged in you can edit Player or Family member information.

Q.) What's the secret to doing all this, how do I get better?
Help each other! Find a team page that is looking good, pick up the phone, call the team manager responsible for that page, and ask them for some helpful advise. If we all work with each other we can have a great website that looks good and is full of good useful information!
