REP AND AE AFFILIATED PLAYERS
Whenever an OMHA Rep or AE team is unable to dress an active roster due to suspension, illness, injury, the coach may call up registered affiliated players (AP’s) from the lower division Rep team, laterally from an Additional Entry team or a House League player in the same division (house league player exception - see Evaluation skate and Rep and A/E tryouts.) This is per OMHA regulations. The House League player must obtain permission to play from his/her coach. The house league player will not be allowed to play up if the rep game is in conflict with the House League game. Consent for an affiliated player shall not be unreasonably withheld.

HOUSE LEAGUE AFFILIATED PLAYERS
Affiliations must be from the next division below (no lateral affiliations). Players must be affiliated to only one team. (House league or REP). Players must fulfill all game and practice commitments to their rostered team prior to being allowed to play or practice with the team to which they are affiliated. (The Coach cannot excuse a player from practicing with their rostered team to play a game with the affiliated team without prior permission from the Division Convenor). Coaches may not utilize affiliated players unless they have fewer than ten (10) rostered skaters at game time. The total number of skaters (including affiliated players must not exceed ten (10). Southern Counties guidelines apply to teams playing interlock..

AFFILIATED PLAYER CALL UP POLICY & PROCEDURE- ALL TEAMS
A team may affiliate up to 19 players. Prior to participating as an affiliated player the player’s name must appear on the team’s affiliated player list, which has been approved by the OMHA.
The Affiliated Player paper work must be submitted to the OMHA centre contact by a specified date each year. If it is not submitted by the date specified, the team will not be able to use any affiliated players for the remainder of the season. A coach requiring an affiliated player must get the prior approval of the coach to which the player is rostered.
After receiving the approval of the rostered team coach, the parent of the affiliated player is to be contacted in order to get their permission. The parent of the affiliated child is responsible for asking his/her child whether they wish to participate in the game/practice in question and should advise the coach of the team requiring the services of their child accordingly. Not allowing a player to AP must be justified by the withholding coach. All disputes will be resolved by the TMHI Disciplinary Committee.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**
The failure of any coach or player to adhere to this policy can result in the loss of affiliation privileges for the remainder of the current season.
