2006-10-31: Week 1 of indoors

Few minor admin details to take care of.

1) Team Colours:
Team A = white
Team B = blue
Team C = red
Team D - green

Week 1 -- 3 November:
8-9 Team A vs. Team B; 9-10 Team C vs. Team D
EXCEPTIONALLY, EVERY PLAYER SHOULD BE THERE AT 7.15 P.M. FOR ADMINISTRATION DETAILS.

2) Sanjeev Parma
Because Sanjeev is special, he can only make the 9 o'clock games, which means he is a 'floater'.... Sanjeev will "float" on the following teams, no doubt walking around the pitch and blaming team mates for misplaced passes, berating them for lack of mobility and eventually scoring a 6o-yard matchwinning goal, before adjusting his naval piercing and going home.

3 November - Team D*
10 November - Team B*
17 November - Team C*
24 November - Team A*
1 December - Team C*
8 December - Team D*
15 December - Team C*
22 December- Team B*
29 December - Team B*
5 January - Team A*
12 January - Team A*
19 January - Team D*
26 January - Team C*
2 February - Team A*
9 February - Team B*

3) Alternates
There are a list of alternate players who will replace absentees. These are players who could not commit to every week (like everyone else has done) but are available for the odd game here and there. They will keep the standard high. YOU MUST TELL ME, MARC LAPOINTE AND YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN ABOUT ANY GAME YOU WILL MISS BEFORE THE THURSDAY MORNING OF THAT WEEK OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOCATED A PLAYER TO REPLACE YOU. You will be shafting your own team by leaving the squad a man short. As an alternate, you should bring a $5-fee per match.

Week 1 alternates for:
Team B: Jason Da Costa (vacation) = Andy Nera
Team A: Kevin Sheehan (injury) = Fred Juett
Team B: Frank Zegers (Englebert Humperdinck concert) = Dan Cheney
Team D: Tyler Wallace = Antoine Lagarec (second game)
Team A: Aydin Oyali = Sergio Miccas
Team A: Thierry Ntwari (2 weeks, injury) = Greg Andujar
Team B: Steve Johnstone =

As I said, by agreeing to play in this league, you have committed to turning up every week, so I hope this first week is just an anachronism and will not be the norm.

4) Payment
Marc Lapointe is currently on the hook for nearly $6,000 for rental fees for the dome. The balance is due Friday night. Please make sure your cheque - PAYABLE TO MARC LAPOINTE - is in his hands as soon as possible. This is a priority.

5) Team Captains
Team captains (Dom Rochon, Steve Kowlessar, James MacMillan, Marc Labrom) are responsible for a couple of things, including: 1) ensuring any alternate player used has a uniform for the team; 2) making sure all players arrive on time for the warm up, and warm up & cool down properly; 3) substitutions during the game; 4) encouraging social activities post-game.
