Refs
For scrimmages, each team must schedule and pay for their own refs. Scrimmages will not be reimbursed. For games at PCC or the Pond, contact Tom Mallon (734)326-8198 at least 72 hours in advance. For Yost, Canfield, and Redford refs, contact Matt Ceci (734)658-7087.
Fees are as follows for 1 hour games, each referee:
Mites, $16
Squirts, $20
Pee Wees, $24
Bantams, $26
Midgets, $30
For games longer than 1 hr, take the rate (for your division), multiply it by the length of the game (ex: Pee Wee Game, 1.5 hr in length = $24* 1.5 = $36 per Official)

Financial Statements
A financial statement must be turned in with your team's ice payment each month. The statement should be signed by two non-coaching parents from the team.

Jersey Orders
Jerseys will be ordered by each team through All American Embroidery in Livonia. Travel teams should get a sizing kit from Matt Zink. House teams will receive a kit at the draft skate. Size the jerseys and place your order ASAP in order to get jerseys before your first game.
