Player Affiliation


Silver Seven Hockey Club Information for Coaches and Managers

No coach is permitted to contact a player for affiliation to S7 without prior approval from the President. All affiliation requests may only begin after local Tier 3 / Rep B teams have completed their tryout process.
All initial affiliation requests will be President to President, after affiliation paperwork is complete and processed, S7 Head Coaches will work directly with local Tier 3/Rep B Head Coaches seeking permission each & every time.
Silver Seven is designated the "19 Player Affiliation" system.

19-Player Affiliation:
  • An affiliation permission form must be completed for each player.
  •  A team may affiliate up to a maximum of 19 players.
  •  Prior to playing up on the affiliating team the player’s name must be added to the team list as an affiliate with status ‘approved’.
  • A player can be affiliated with only ONE team of a higher division or category.
  • Affiliates can be added to the team any time during the season up to the January 15th deadline.
  • The coach wishing to use a player as an affiliate MUST ask permission of the coach of the player’s registered team prior to asking the player.
  •  Each time the player is to be used as an affiliate the players’ coach MUST be asked (coach to coach).
  • Commitments to the team the player is registered to ALWAYS come first.
    • This includes games, practices, team functions and other events at the discretion of the player’s Head Coach.
  •  Suspensions are always served with the registered team (it does not matter which team the player got the suspension with).
  • Teams should affiliate players from more than one team so game conflicts can be avoided.
  • Only players that will be used should be affiliated.
19 PLAYER – WHEN USING AN AFFILIATED PLAYER:
  • Check with the coach of the player’s team before calling the affiliated player for a game or practice. The player’s registered team must always come first.
  • An affiliated player cannot be used if he is under suspension (until he serves his suspension with his own team).
  • Inform the coach of the affiliated player if the player gets a suspension while playing with the team he is affiliated to.
  • Suspensions are always served with the player’s original team (regardless of which team the player got the suspension with).
Of important note:
Using an affiliated player without permission is equivalent to the use of an ineligible player and the Head Coach must serve a 5-game suspension. The Silver Seven Hockey Club may apply further sanctions to the Team Officials.

The affiliation deadline to add a player to your roster: January 10th

The maximum number of games an affiliate may play is 10 games, excludes tournaments + exhibition.

Coaches, you are responsible for keeping track of the number of games:
  • Your player participates with a higher level team.
  • For players you affiliate from a lower level team - through the TTM Affiliation Module.
