SPORTSMANSHIP

Sportsmanship is everyone's responsibility.  All associated parties play a critical role in upholding a high standard of conduct: players, coaches, officials, administrators, and spectators.  The result is a supportive culture for our players, coaches, and officials; an enjoyable environment for our fans and families; and a positive image for our schools, our teams, and our league.

Our playoffs are our marquee event, where sportsmanship cannot be discarded just because the stakes are high on the ice.  Players and coaches must display the important values of respect and discipline, regardless of the outcome of the games.  The applicable rulebooks will be enforced for players and team personnel who step outside of those boundaries.

Fans should cheer for their team and support all participants in a positive manner.  Spectators who interfere with the game or exhibit behaviors that are detrimental to the spirit and values of intercollegiate sports shall be removed from the premises.

PARKING

Free vehicle parking is available in the lot surrounding the arena and the neighboring recreation center.  Those attending the event are asked to park only in designated areas and not in places that block any thruways entering and surrounding the arena.  ADA parking is available along the front of the arena in the spots closest to the main entrance.

Team buses/vans are able to unload near the main entrance to the arena.  The league will then arrange an alternate location for team buses to park during games in order to reserve more parking spaces around the arena for spectator vehicles.

ADMISSIONS & SEATING

There is a daily admission fee charged for each spectator entering the playing area during the CHMA event to help offset the costs to the teams.
     ADULTS = $5
     STUDENTS = $2 (with student ID)
     CHILDREN = $2 (under age 18)

All seating inside the playing area is General Admission.  Fans of each team -- including students -- are asked to sit in the seating areas across from their team's bench, as assigned by game. The home teams will be on the bench nearest to the lobby/entrance; the away teams will be on the bench farthest from the lobby/entrance.

Spectators are not to be in the locker room areas or near the team benches to limit disruptions and distractions for the players.

ON-ICE CEREMONIES

Only team/game personnel, game staff, and league officials shall be permitted on the ice at any time throughout the post-season, including the on-ice celebration following the championship game.  The winning team will be asked to clear the ice immediately if spectators or other unauthorized individuals enter the ice surface during this time (including for pictures), and any unauthorized person entering the ice surface will be removed from the premises immediately.

A dedicated area away from the ice surface shall be provided to the winning team after the game for photographs with family and friends.  Spectators are asked to use this area and honor the policy of remaining off of the ice surface.
