Co-Op

The GNASH league allows both scholastic and co-op teams to play in its league. Scholastic Teams are defined as all players in attendance at the same school, with a minimum of 12 players.  Co-op Teams are defined as players in attendance at one of two schools where one school contributes at least 8 players and the other school at least 4 players.
 
GNASH does not actually participate in the formation of teams but rather accepts applications of teams that meet the above criteria.  If you believe your school has at least 4 players interested in ice hockey and you would like help finding another school to co-op with please send your school’s contact information to info@gnashockey.com for posting on this page.  If your school does not have 4 players to contribute to a GNASH team then you may want to contact Southern Ice - in years past they have had a high school aged team for those players attending a school without a GNASH team.  
 
Why can’t just one player join a team?
The GNASH Board (comprised of members from all current teams) has looked at this proposal, which would require a change to its current bylaws, several times and voted against it. The consensus of the Board has always been that they want to continue to strengthen the league with scholastic play and the only exception is an approved co-op made up of two schools.
