This is a reminder that the DVHL tampering rules are different than the Atlantic District bylaws. Please read the league's bylaw below so that you are aware of what you can and cannot do. The time of year has arrived where not knowing the rules can be a problem!
Section 7 — Tampering
A. Tampering is defined as recruiting of a rostered and/or registered player without the prior written approval from the organization of the rostered and/or registered player.
B. No coach, manager or club official connected with a registered team may entice, influence or otherwise tamper with a player rostered with another registered team without the prior written approval of a club president or his designee. The DVHL president must be advised in writing by the club president of any designee.
C. A release will not be effective until it has been received in writing and signed by the current officer of the association who is not a parent of the player or a member of the team involved.
D. After investigating the matter to the fullest extent, the Executive Committee may invoke the following penalties:
- To the player; a rostered,
protected player who takes the ice with another team without prior written
approval may not play for that organization for at least the remainder of the
current season, regardless of obtaining a subsequent
release.
- To all others; any individual or organization that violates the above rules is also subject to fine, probation or suspension, or may not be eligible to participate in DVHL playoffs or District Tournament.
