Our name defines the ultimate goal of our league "BONNE ENTENTE".
Our objective is to provide an environment for players of varying ability to meet in a spirit of friendship, good sportsmanship and fair play. Healthy competitiveness is what we want. No aggressive behavior, rudeness or abusiveness toward our fellow players, officials and spectators will be tolerated.
The league shall consist of 6 teams of 14-16 players
The team fees for 2025 are $2,550. Teams will keep the same colour, as most teams now secure their own jersey’s. Teams still using the original league jersey’s may purchase them for new players at Lacroix Sports. Lacroix will set the costs for these jersey’s (typically between $25-30). No refund will be given when a player quits. No refund will be given to a player injured after the 7th week of the season. When a refund is allowed, it will be calculated on a prorated basis of 20 games.
Our constitution is open to change, subject to a 2/3 majority vote of the league membership.
The League Executive shall consist of a President and Treasurer, duly elected by the captains on behalf of the membership. The mandate of the League Executive is to uphold the objective of the league, and to tend to the administrative and financial matters in a manner befitting our ultimate goal. The executive positions are filled by persons who are not team captain if possible. The President and Treasurer will have signing authority for the purposes of dealing with the league funds. Two signatures (President and Vice President) are required for all cheques issued for the league. The Captains shall be consulted as necessary by the Executive concerning league decisions in respect to rules of the game and playing of the game.
A majority vote of +1 is needed for any changes concerning the league. The vote is done by the President, Treasurer and the 6 captains.
Any decisions reached by the Executive and / or Captains can be revoked by a 2/3 majority vote of the membership, voting to be held two weeks after the implementation of the said article or rule.
Anyone having a grievance, including a grievance about the officiating, should direct their concerns to the League President in writing within 72 hours of the occurrence. Any grievance not put in writing shall be deemed not to have been delivered.
Committees shall be set up and positions assigned by the Executive, as is considered necessary.
Committees shall report to the member of the Executive assigned that committee chair.
A disciplinary committee consisting of the executive and the 6 captains shall be the sole executor of any action or decision necessary for the purposes of discipline in league matters. All ruling by the committee shall be administered and executed by the League President and shall be considered final.
Players need to accept the insurance waiver from SPN. If not, the player won’t be able to play until it’s completed.
For his own safety and others, a player under the influence of alcohol or drugs (including cannabis) won't be permitted to play.
The umpires will have more authority toward abusive behaviour of any kind by players toward them. Abusive behaviour toward league officials, other players or spectators will not be tolerated in any way. Any physical abuse by 1 or more players will result in an immediate expulsion from the league without refund. A 1st verbal abuse offence will result in a severe suspension and a 2nd one will be the expulsion from the league without refund. Should a spectator display similar behaviour the umpire or league officials will ask the spectator to leave the park.
In conjunction with the city of Ottawa's Alcohol Policy, no alcohol is allowed at the park or in the parking areas around the park. Penalty for the first offense could go as far as revocation of our permit. i.e. we can no longer use the park.
In Conjunction with the city of Ottawa New Smoke Free Policy no smoking is permitted at the park or in the parking lot area. Therefore, Bylaw Officers may come around and give fines.
A commemorative trophy named "Genevieve Simoneau" was established to recognize the "Most Sportsmanlike Player" from each team.
The above articles were adopted on January 18, 1996. Some were added or revised over the years.
