Title: Protests
Policy Statement:
All protests shall be filed with the General Manager accompanied with a cheque for $100.00 (one hundred dollars) payable to “Kitchener Minor Hockey Association” with copies of the protest delivered to the Director of the division and the opposing team within forty-eight (48) hours of the protested game. The cheque is refundable only if the protest is won. The protest shall be in writing and shall be specific to the rules and regulations involved, supported by evidence, and shall be signed by the Coach and Manager of the protesting team. The General Manager shall notify the Director in charge and he/she may uphold or refuse the protest based on a review of the evidence. A hearing, if necessary, shall be at the call of the respective Director and the General Manager shall notify the Protest Committee, as appointed by the Executive Committee, and the teams involved, of the time and place of the meeting.
Protests on a referee’s decision will not be considered unless it concerns a question of misapplication of a rule interpretation.
