How to join

The HTFL (Happy Time Friendship League) was created specifically for brand new, beginner level, and Bronze division level players. Our Goal is to create a fun, and inclusive environment for new players to learn and advance their skill. We have a few rules for players to follow if they wish to be a part of the HTFL. Please read below:

•  First and foremost we want everyone to understand that you play for the league, NOT for a team. Even though you will have a team for 11 weeks, it is likely you will move around from team to team for future seasons. Even during the 11 game season, you may be moved to a different team to help balance. The seasons will be fairly short (9 games + 2 playoffs) and the teams will be rearranged and rebalanced after each one.

• Goalies, each game you play you will swap sides after half of the game is done for balancing purposes. So 30 minutes with 1 team and 30 minutes with another.

• A $40 deposit for HTFL provided jerseys and socks will be required but will be credited back to you upon it’s return post season. The league provided jerseys and socks must be worn for the game. This will help minimize any confusion and make the entire team uniform. 

• Absolutely no abuse of the officials will be allowed. Violating this will result in not being invited back.

• Our goal is to make a fun, friendly, and fair environment for players of all skill levels. For this reason any players who continuously take overly long shifts, are selfish with the puck, or demean weaker players will not be invited back the next season. We want it to be competitive but we also want everyone to have a good time. If it seems that your skill level is too high and you’re running up the score every game, chances are you’ll be voted out and moved up out of the HTFL.

• 100% payment of $285 + the $40 jersey deposit is required in advance. You will not be allowed to play until your dues are paid fully for the season. Again, the Jersey deposit will be credited once the jersey and socks are returned after the season. There is no team pay. All players will be required to pay individually. No cash please use a card or electronic method like venmo etc.

• We understand that you may want to play with someone specific. You may request to play with the person you want to play with, but we cannot guarantee that will happen.

• If you agree and accept these terms you can apply to join the league below. Space is limited so you may be on a waiting list until either a spot opens up or the league expands with more teams. 

Note: Currently the HTFL is at max capacity. However, please apply to play if you are interested because, with enough people, we can expand to 6 teams instead of 4.

How will the league work?

There are 4 captains for the 4 teams: Chris Fowler, Mark Braun, Mitchell Manning, and Jeff Manning. The head of the HTFL is Bob Neath. The 5 of us will go through our list of interested players and vote on whether or not they play or leave. We will do this every season. It will be based on skill level and whether or not the players have broken any of the rules. Problem players are subject to removal before the season ends if they are causing continuous issues. The 4 captains will assemble players to their team to keep things as balanced as possible. This will happen every season and in some cases, trades may happen during the season. Any person who wants to play will have to be added to the list and vetted the same as everyone else. There will be no 1 off subs coming to jump in randomly. Only players that are part of the HTFL and have paid get to play.
