League Draft will take place following the tryout scrimmage on 26 September 2016. All registered league players are strongly advised to attend one of the League Scrimmages**. New players who did not participate in any ice hockey leagues in Hong Kong last season (2015-2016) MUST attend one of the two League Scrimmages for assessments prior to placement in the Player Pool Selection. Failure to attend may result in the withdrawal of the new player’s league application.

Team Sponsors will be given the right to nominate the Team Manager who will select players at the League Draft. If there are no Team Sponsors, HKIHA reserves the right to nominate the Team Manager for the teams. The League Draft will take place after the second scrimmage to ensure teams are evenly balanced and competitive. All Team Managers will participate in each round of the draft by taking turns selecting players in a snake draft format (i.e., 1-8, 8-1, 1-8, etc.). Each team drafts one player per round until all roster slots are full.

IMPORTANT NOTE: HKIHA reserves the final say to all Team Rosters.

No refund will be given under any circumstances. The ONLY exception will be for Players who are NOT drafted onto a team who will be charged HK$300 for Scrimmage Fee. The full league payment for those who were not drafted onto a team will then be refunded following the League Draft.
