League business

During the off-season the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) announced two new teams would be joining the league. The Mustangs IHC were announced to become the eighth team in the AIHL starting in the 2011 season.{{cite web|url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/custom_page.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464&pageid=10074#history |title=History of the Australian Ice Hockey League |publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League |access-date=15 April 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401163807/http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/custom_page.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464&pageid=10074 |archive-date=1 April 2012 |url-status=live }} The Mustangs are based at Docklands, Victoria, the home of the Melbourne Ice. The ninth team, Perth Thunder, were accepted into the league as a provisional member. The Thunder will play exhibition games against other AIHL teams during the 2011 season in order to gain the vote to be accepted for the 2012 season. At the Annual General Meeting it was proposed to increase the length of the games periods from 15 minutes to 20 minutes to be inline with International Ice Hockey Federation rules however the proposal was unsuccessful due to reasons such as costs to the teams and the ability to fill the four lines with AIHL-level players.{{cite web | url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/custom_page.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464&pageid=10073#rules | title=AIHL Rules | publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League | access-date=2 September 2011 }}

On 10 July the game between the Gold Coast Blue Tongues and the Sydney Ice Dogs was cancelled due to an unsafe surface at the Blue Tongues home venue, Bundall Iceland.{{cite web|url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientID=3856&leagueID=11464&page=53999 |title=10 July Dogs @ Blue Tongues game cancelled |publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League |first=Peter |last=Lambert |date=10 July 2011 |access-date=11 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110822005104/http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?page=53999&clientID=3856&leagueID=11464 |archive-date=22 August 2011 |url-status=live }} The AIHL deemed that the Blue Tongues have forfeited the game against the Ice Dogs 5–0, with the Ice Dogs being awarded the full three points.{{cite web|url=http://eurohockey.com/news.html |title=Game cancelled due to poor ice |publisher=Eurohockey.com |date=12 July 2011 |access-date=12 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007031531/http://www.eurohockey.com/news.html |archive-date=7 October 2011 |url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/schedules.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464 |title=Regular Season Schedule |publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League |access-date=12 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720083311/http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/schedules.cfm?leagueID=11464&clientID=3856 |archive-date=20 July 2011 |url-status=live }}
