There was an incident that happened in the beginning of the month that brought some important details to our attention.....Coaches not having their required AAU Coaching Cards. 

This is something that is in the AAU & WIHA rules.  This is mandatory and we will be strictly enforcing this and making sure that everyone has the proper credentials if they will be sitting on the bench. All coaches, assistant coaches or fill in coaches (parents) will need to have this.  If your team has a team photographer, they will have to provide a non player AAU card and will be allowed to take pictures from the penalty box.  This rule was put in place for your protection.  All coaches, assistants and photographers will have to provide a copy for WIHA to record. Coaches will not be permitted to coach without checking in with a Tournament Director and providing the necessary card. So if you choose to not take care of this at home, please get to the rink with plenty of time to purchase this at the tournament. We have already spoken with several coaches about this personally and sent out an email out with plenty of time for everyone to handle this.  Also only 3 "coaches" are allowed on the bench and all three should be listed on the roster as well.  

On a side note, I would also like to thank Nabeel from Revision for winning Mens platinum at Narch. Wait....he didn't do anything!
