Hey all, we just released a new set of features that we think you all will get a lot of use out of. Read more here:

Early sign up? Seams like it will cause everything to fill up before it is even open. Guess we will see

I like the back up goalie idea... I've signed for two. But I went to the early bird and I can't sign up for a couple LLCS (I'm a 1&2) and for some reason I could sign up for STIA Upper Level...

@ Tim
1. If you have trouble, could you please use the "Get Support" blue bar at the right? We wish we could monitor these comments and game comments to catch support issues, but we just can't. So we designed the support system that automatically e-mails us with issues. This means we are notified as soon as you indicate your problem, and there are multiple people working on it... instead of it sitting someplace, unknown and unread. Thanks
2. Some games are displaying incorrectly. The STIA game you're referring to is actually an All-Level CS, and NOT an Upper Level game. So you were able to sign up for it as All-Level. We are working on the display issue.
3. The Wakota game you can't sign up for had lower level skater spots, but no lower level goalie spots. Fixed. (But please do use the Get Support feature in the future--I only happened to see your comment here.)

Makes me wonder if you sign up 2-3 weeks in advance, if people will remember to go and play that day...especially the goalies. is there a reminder email function built in?

Hope the games don't fill up before I even know if my schedule permits me to play.
Seems to work well now!

@Rob that's a really good idea and I like that. Currently there is no feature that does this, but I'm going to put it on my backlog of things to implement.

The games should also show how many people are on the waiting list. The back up goalie is a great Idea!

Hey Mike,
You can see who is signed up for the notify list by bringing up the cancel dialog (click the cancel button to see the dialog, you will need to double-confirm to actually cancel yourself). I don't want to put it on the main game view page because I'm trying to keep that page as uncluttered as possible.

Ugh, not gonna lie but the early signup thing is kind of annoying. I get why it exists but now the St Thomas Elite session is booked (for goalies at least) for like the next 6 months and obviously I didn't anticipate this change happening.
I guess this wouldn't be that bad if there were more elite sessions but I'm guessing that's not in the works.

Andy,
Great tool - really helps in planning the calendar {life around hockey}!
Many thanks to you and the entire JMS administrative team for all of the planning, development, long hours, and hard work that you put into this site and for providing a multitude of opportunities, for so many people {of varying abilities}, to get out and play some hockey each and every week!
Best,
ml
