Becoming a Captain

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

In order to begin entering both game and player stats for your team you’ll need to identify yourself as a captain. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Log in with your username and password. The “login” button is in the top right of the screen. You’ll need to use the same  username and password as used for the forum.
    login
  2. Navigate to your team’s page. You’ll need to prove to us that you are in fact the team captain; Please don’t bother trying to become the captain of a team you are not associated with.
  3. Click the “I’m the Captain!” Button in the top right. If you don’t see this button, either you are not properly logged in or someone has already registered as the captain of this team. If you are the captain of your team and the button does not appear for you, please email me at coreysnyder@centralohiohockey.com and I can get you set up.
    The button which registers you as the captain.
  4. From there, just follow the instructions in the e-mail you receive and you’ll be good to go. The email will be sent to the email address associated with the user you are signed in as.

If you have any issues or need additional help, you can email me at coreysnyder@centralohiohockey.com

Team History is live!

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As you might have noticed we’ve launched a new “Team History” table on the teams pages. Team History was designed to allow our users to follow a team not just in its current session, but also see how they did in past sessions and leagues.

When looking at a team’s page, such as The Hive, you’ll see a new table down at the bottom called “Team History”. In this table, they have an entry which lists a team name of “Village Idiots” for the “Winter 2010″ session. This tells you that last session they were the “Village Idiots”, and since then have updated their name to “The Hive”. Along with the Session and Team name, this table also shows a brief summary of how they played that session.

If you want to drill in further and see how they played against the other teams in that league for that session, you just have to click on either the Session or Team Name. This will take you to the team’s page for that particular session. One last thing to note, at the top of the page you’ll see:

Village Idiots
Sunday D East – Winter 2010

This helps you to identify which particular session & league your looking at.

If your team has changed names or leagues, and needs to be “Connected”, you’ll need to contact me at coreysnyder@centralohiohockey.com and I can take care of this. Our software has caught most of the changes but team name changes can be quite tricky!

We hope you enjoy this new feature, and as always, please post any comments, questions, or concerns below.

C.A.H.L. Skill Levels Explained

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

New to CAHL hockey? Trying to figure out which league is for you? Well you found the right place! Listed below are the different skill levels available here in Columbus, Ohio.  It’s important to pick the correct league so you don’t end up at your first game with guys skating circles around you, or vise-versa.

Here are the “Official” CAHL explanations for the different leagues:

  • “A” – Intended for adults with years of playing experience, collegiate, college club, major junior or competitive
    high school participation.
  • “B” – Intended for adults with years of playing experience, junior hockey or high school hockey participation.
  • “C” – Intended for adults with approximately 6-10 years of playing experience and/or limited coaching and know the
    basics of team play.
  • “C2” – Intended for those who are above D level but not ready for full transition to “C” level.  (teams must be
    approved,  no “B” players allowed at this level)
  • “D” – An entry level for players with little to a few years playing experience (approximately 3-6 years) or players
    having recently completed a learn to play hockey program. We highly recommend you have some experience (class
    or previously played) before joining!
  • “E” – For extreme beginners.  You should have zero to no more than 2 years playing experience and have very
    limited skating ability and game experience.  Recommend for those in or recently out of a learn to play hockey
    class. No upper tier players allowed.

Once you’ve figured out which of the above you belong in, you may need to pick a more specific sub-category. The full list of Available leagues is as follows (from most advanced to beginner):

  • Thursday A (Most Advanced)
  • Monday B
  • Wednesday C East
  • Tuesday C East
  • Wednesday C West
  • Tuesday C West
  • Sunday C2 East
  • Sunday C2 West
  • Friday C2
  • Sunday D East
  • Thur D East
  • Sunday D West
  • Thur D West
  • Sunday D North
  • Sunday D South
  • Monday E (Least Advanced)

I’ve put the most recent changes in bold above. A bit daunting I know, but fear not! You can narrow down your choices quickly by picking which day you’d prefer to play on. The incremental sub-categories are minor differences and won’t determine whether or not you’ll have fun out there. The game just gets quicker as you move up and you’ll be ok as long as you’ve got the “lettered” skill level right. You may even choose to play on multiple nights, which many players do.

If you’re still not sure where you will fit in the best, you could always head to a Drop-in and talk to the other skaters. You’ll quickly figure out where you fall in with the other players around you. I hope this has helped you determine which skill level si right for you!

And as always, please post your comments below.

Utilizing Your Team Page
