Protesting a game
Local League
Any game protests must be presented to the Local League Liaison immediately after the game. The Local League Liaison will then take that protest to the league to determine whether the protest is valid.
U9 to U18 Rep teams
Please refer to the OWHL Rules and Regulations (www.llfhl.ca/forms.html) for information regarding Protests & Appeals within the OWHL.
In addition to the rules set out by the OWHL, any game protests must be presented to the Coaching Committee immediately after the game. The Coaching Committee, along with representatives from the Board of Directors, will then assess the merits of the protest and determine whether to protest the game. If we decide to protest the game, the Association will file the protest with the Discipline Chair on behalf of the team and will pay the associated fee.
Women’s Senior Rep teams
Please also refer to the Southwestern Ontario Women’s Hockey League (SOWHL) Protest Rules (part of the Constitution). The league’s Vice-President must be contacted within 24 hours.
