Release of Liability

I sincerely hope that nothing ever happens within our Society games to warrant a need to defend the following agreement. But there are certainly risks present when it comes to playing hockey and I assume that everyone knows, understands, and accepts those risks. For those of you who expressed interest or signed up for the Summer 2025 season prior to the publishing of this website, if after reading the following agreement you decide you'd like to be removed from the roster, please send me an email at shueyiv@gmail.com

**RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER, AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT**

This Release of Liability, Waiver, and Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into on the date in which a Player submits the Utah Rink Rat Society Roster Google form or the date in which a Player submits any Season Commitment Questionnaire Google form by and between the named Player (the "Participant"), and the Utah Rink Rat Society, an amateur hockey league operating at any ice arena facility within the State of Utah  (the "League").

**WHEREAS**, the Participant desires to participate in the League's amateur hockey activities, including but not limited to games and related events (the "Activities"); and
