ALA 2024 Season Updates!
The ALA recently held its annual Planning Meeting in Calgary. This meeting is a time for the Board to connect in-person, evaluate the season, and adjust for next season.
There are some important regulation changes and general updates from the meeting you should be aware of. Some highlights to take note of include, but are not limited to:
- Tournaments: Each LGB will be approved one large tournament in 2024. Other tournaments must only be two consecutive divisions to be approved.
- Affiliations: Minor teams may now affiliate to a maximum of 18 players and 2 goalies.
- Minor Box Provincials: All three female divisions will now be the league champions from the CDLA and GELC.
-
Minor Box Floor Times: Minor box floor times will now reflect those recommended in the LC LTAD.
