All team fund raising events are subject to board approval.

Arena Passes are the property of the Meadowvale Hockey Association and the Mississauga Hockey League and may be revoked at any time for failure to perform rink duty or any other behaviour deemed inappropriate.

Coaches are expected to read the MHL Rule Book and to make every effort to understand its contents. Questions are encouraged and should be directed to your particular MMHA Executive.

It is the Head Coach’s responsibility to submit a Team Budget and a Year End Financial Statement if any external activities are planned. The Team’s Budget must be forwarded to all team members and the VP Finance by midnight Oct 15. Failure to comply will result in the loss of any external privileges.
