- Team captains are to submit and manage their roster online, but all players must sign their team’s respective waiver inside the clubhouse prior to their first game of the season. Each rink location will have a “waiver binder” with a page dedicated to each team for players to sign. Players only need to do so once at any location before they begin playing. Once a player has signed, they will be approved by staff to the team’s roster. Any players failing to sign the waiver are considered illegal players and any game they participate in will be considered a forfeit loss.
