Team officials (coaches or managers) must contact their LCMHL statistician who has the authority to postpone games due to weather conditions.

• It is a common practice to wait up until four (4) hours to game time to make the decision. Weather conditions can sometime change for the better.
• If the statistician cannot be reached, team officials must contact the League President, or Vice President or the Treasurer or Secretary who also have the authority to postpone games.
• The opposing team must be notified by the team official requesting cancellation due to inclement weather.
• The team official will then contact the Referee Scheduler of their Association to advise the officials that the game has been postponed and will be re-scheduled.

NOTE:

• At no time may a team postpone a game on its own. If this is done the team will be subject to a fine or suspension.
• LCMHL in most cases bases its decision on road reports provision by Ministry of Transportation and the updates from local police authorities (OPP, Ottawa Police)
