Hello NCHLer's.  Great start to the season so far.  Lots of positive feedback from our development games.  Great use of our spare list getting new players on the ice.  Some nice, fresh looking jerseys are making their appearance at games.  November is upon us and we'd like to kick things off with a bang.  As most of you know, November is a time to raise awareness for Men's Health.  Our very own treasurer has taken it upon himself and a few Bros to get involved and lead the way with the NCHL's "BROVEMBER CHALLENGE"

Here's a few words from our very own Phil " The Thrill" Birrer

Gentlemen,

Just wanted to give you all a quick heads up that registration will be sent to all roster players/LTIR players/LTIR replacements shortly as well as go over a few registration housekeeping items. 

• If you have not received registration by tomorrow morning June 6th, please reach out directly to our registrar André (nchlreg@gmail.com).
  
  
• DO NOT create a new profile on the site when registering. If you have forgotten your username, please reach out to André directly and he will let you know what is on file. Once you receive your username, you will be able to reset your password.
  
  
• You do not need to ask about a registration code. If you're at the point where you're asking us for one, you've made a wrong turn. Once you receive your registration email, click on the registration link. Your code will auto populate and you will never have to enter it manually at any point.
  
  
• Free Agency: Any player can declare Free Agency when registering. By doing so however, you will not be eligible to return to your existing team. If you declare Free Agency, please indicate what team you would like to go to. If you speak to that team ahead of time and they have cap space, they are able to use their first round pick to select you. If the team does not use their first round pick to select you, you will be eligible to be selected by any team with the exception of your previous team. If you require further clarification, please contact André.
  

• Spare List: Every roster player is eligible to play as a spare in the league. If you would like to be on the list to be contacted that gets sent to reps, please select the spare list as part of the registration process. There is no cost to join the spare list for roster players, you only have to pay whatever team calls you out to play charges. If you do not select spare list as part of your registration, you will not be added to the list that gets sent to reps. That being said you can be added any time by emailing André.
  
  
• Registration closes June 23rd at 9:00pm PDT no exceptions. If you do not register by that date and time, you will not be eligible to be protected by your team and you will be entered into the draft where there will be no guarantee of returning to your current team.
  
  
• The registration process is the same as previous years. League dues are $550 including tax and are only payable via credit card on the league site.
  
  
• If you do not wish to play this year, or only wish to join the spare list, please inform your team rep and email André ASAP.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact André. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the ice in September!

Regards,

NCHL Board of Directors
