OLA SUSPENSION GUIDELINES – 2014
The suspension guidelines are published annually to ensure uniformity of enforcement across the province. All OLA
members must follow the Suspension Guidelines as passed by the Corporation.
Everyone must realize that for our game to grow, we must deal with the players and bench personnel in a manner that will
make it evident that any deviation from good sportsmanship and the rules of the game will not be tolerated.
