Note: In the event that registration numbers are below the required amount to have a minimum of 3 teams per division, the board may at its discretion dissolve the Junior division of play to ensure that the Pony and Minor division have enough players. Additionally, if it is deemed to be competitively advantageous, the board may invite teams from other programs to compete in the regular season game play in an effort to expose the players to more opportunities to compete.
