goaltenders, must shoot once before a player shoots for a second time.
USA HOCKEY INSURANCE
All players are required to register online with USA Hockey – by going to www.usahockey.com A current
USAH registration will be required to register on-line with the SSHL. Players not registered with USA Hockey
will not be allowed to participate in the league. USA Hockey has initiated an online registration process for
players. As a part of this new process every SSHL player is required to go online to register with USA Hockey.
This registration will enable the USA Hockey insurance and many other benefits. The registration process is a
requirement for each player within the Senior Stars Hockey League. Any player not registered with USA
Hockey can’t participate in the league. There is an additional fee that must be paid directly to USA Hockey
at the time you register. All players, including coordinators, subs, goalies, and each player on the roster must
register online with USA Hockey.
SSHL PHOTO ID’S
Every player participating in the SSHL will require photo ID card for the purpose of identification. Once the
team has been finalized, players may get their cards by bringing proof of League AND USAH registration to
the Dr Pepper StarCenter’s Front Desk. Cards can be made at the Front Desk of every DPSC location.
All Players participating in the Senior Stars Hockey League (SSHL) will be REQUIRED to bring their VIP
Card to each game. This card will determine each player’s eligibility and registration in the SSHL. All players
will be required to obtain a new SSHL ID Card for the 2014-15 season. Cards from previous seasons will not be
valid for play.
TEAM ASSIGNMENT
Players can’t play on two (2) teams at the same level. Players may play in 2 leagues but it can’t be in more than
1 level apart. For example a player can’t play in the C League and the D2-League but he can play in D2 League
and the D League. Players cannot participate in the I-League and D2 League at the same time. The DPSC
reserves the right to move any player deemed to be too skilled for a particular league based on the judgment of
the DPSC Hockey Staff.
ROSTERS
Teams must have a minimum of 15 paid players on the official roster, and the Team’s roster will be frozen
when the roster reaches 20 players, and no further changes will be allowed. Teams are only allowed to dress a
maximum of 20 players, including goalies, for a single game. All requests for roster additions require a 72-hour
notice and a registration form, waiver & USA Hockey insurance form must be submitted before the player can
be added.
Teams will be responsible for completing a line-up sheet to be submitted to the scorekeeper prior to each game.
This is imperative to keep accurate stats for D2 Players.
PAYMENTS
It is each individual player’s responsibility to register through the StarCenter’s MaxGalaxy registration system.
Each individual will need to create an account and register themselves to his/her League in the appropriate rink.
Players must be registered with USA Hockey and have their membership number before MaxGalaxy will allow
a player to register within a League and be added to a roster. If you have any questions about the registration
process, please contact the Hockey Programs Manager at your local DPSC.
RULES
It is each player’s responsibility to know the rules. The players on each team will receive a copy of the SSHL
Rules and Regulations packet prior to the start of the season. We will also have copies of the SSHL Rules and
Regulations at the StarCenter’s Front Desk and posted online. All SSHL Leagues at all Dr Pepper StarCenters
will follow the same rules.
