January 10 Roster Freeze
8 January 2025 @ 9:25 AM by Coliseum Admin

This year's roster freeze is Friday, January 10. This means that as of Friday afternoon changes can no longer be made to your Ontario Soccer TRR or Coliseum roster. Existing players cannot removed or transferred to another team, and new players can no longer be registered. Additionally, from January 11 to the end of the season, players on 'House League' TRRs are not eligible to play in Coliseum games. 

 

We encourage teams to get the ball rolling on any changes they need to make immediately. Putting through a change requires action by a team manager, their club, Eastern Ontario Soccer (EOS) and the Coliseum. Because of this the process can take multiple days. Do not wait until the 11th hour!!

 

How do we know if we need to make changes?

  • Check your TRR. If all of the players that will be playing between Jan 11 and the end of the season are on it, you're all set!
  • If you plan on using call ups, be sure they are registered with your club to a lower level Coliseum team 
  • If you don't have your TRR, aren't sure which TRR a player is registered to, or have any questions relating to your TRRs contact your club

 

How do we make changes?

  • Contact your club registrar and let them know which players need to be moved
  • Shoot us an email to let us know which players have been moved
  • Once EOS has approved the changes in Sports Engine we'll adjust your Coliseum roster(s)

 

Are we still allowed using callups?

  • Yes, but the player(s) you're calling up must be registered to a lower level Coliseum TRR (i.e., not a 'House League' TRR)

Parking at OttawaU Lees
13 December 2024 @ 9:05 AM by Coliseum Admin

You need a yellow Coliseum parking pass to park at this facility. Punch the circle out of the middle of it and put it on your rearview mirror.

If you haven't received one yet, they can be picked up at:

  • The RA Centre dome on weeknights between 5-10pm or weekends between 7am-10pm or;
  • The OttawaU dome right before your game

There should be enough parking for Coliseum teams in the main parking lot (G3). However, if the lot is full there is a second parking lot for the Lees Campus and Dome. Parking Lot G4 is another large parking lot that is situated next to the O-Train Station on the other side of Lees Avenue. We have confirmed with the University that your passes are definitely valid in that lot. To enter Parking Lot G4 if you are coming along Lees Avenue from Immaculata turn LEFT at the lights at the O-Train Station into Lot G4, rather than turning left onto the road that leads to LOT G3 and the dome. See the map below.
