* This rule was put in place to help motivate players to show up for their games and to avoid having teams play with a short bench
Playing Time:
- All the GMs have been notified to manage their teams to ensure each player gets relatively equal playing time. However please understand that in some situations may warrant in-game decisions (ex., late game scenarios, special teams, etc.)
Charities: This season each team will be representing a charity (of the GM’s choosing) where the I-Slam Champions will collect the proceeds for their respective organization. So playing hockey, getting good deeds and taking steps towards Jannah, can life get any better?
Haya & Sabr are both representing SickKids Hospital
Yaqeen has selected Islamic Relief
Taqwa, Ihsan and Emaan have yet to declare their charities.
IMPORTANT: For those that have not submitted their registration fee, you must pay before the start of your game or your team will be assessed a 5-minute penalty.
