Timm Crum asked:
        Can someone please advise/inform me of the rules governing
        Division III Hockey Clubs that use illegal players in a game
        situation?  Our team recently played another School Club Team
        in which alumni were playing on the opposing team.  Our Club
        and school feels this is a very serious infraction and would
        like to report this scenario to the governing bodies.  What is
        the chain of command in which one reports these infractions?
        Thank you.
 
It all depends (of course!).  If it was a Division III game under the
NCAA rules, then Rule 2-3 applies.  In particular:
 
        a.  At the beginning of each game, the coach of each team shall
        list the players and goalkeepers who shall be eligible to play
        in the game. .....
 
        b.  A list of names and numbers of all eligible players and
        goalkeepers shall be submitted to the referee or official
        scorer immediately after the pregame warm-up. .....
 
        c.  No changes or additions may be made to the submitted player
        eligibility-availability list.  Any violation, either
        deliberate
        or unintentional, will result in a bench minor penalty being
        assessed against the offending team.  If, after the completion
        of the game, it is determined by the proper administrative
        authorities that the violation was deliberate, the game shall
        be forfeited.
 
The game sheets, after being signed by the officials at the end of the
game, will have been given (one each) to the two coaches and one sent
to the local NCAA conference.  So if this was an official game, then
you could contact your local conference.  If this was a fun scrimmage,
then you have little recourse unless you feel strongly enough to want
to push it as an NCAA administrative violation (assuming the other
team is an NCAA Division III team).  For details on that you should
check with your college compliance officer.
