Penalty Box Volunteers
We kindly ask that each team provides one team member or parent to be responsible for the penalty box for their team during each game they play. If this is not possible, please let us know in advance so that we can make other arrangements.

Player of the Match
Each team may select one player of the match for each game. That player will receive a tournament puck as a prize. The head coach should inform the referee of the selected player at the end of the match, and the referee will present the award.

If you prefer not to select players of the match, that’s no problem—just let us know, and we will provide the head coach with the equivalent number of pucks to be handed out as he or she wishes.

Live Streaming
Scores and results will be updated live on cuponline.se and all matches will be streamed live at www.jfmplay.dk.
