I'm a field hockey player looking to play in the Lower Mainland. How to I find a team?

Where do I enter the Scorekeeper Access Code to complete my digital gamesheet?
On this site here: https://games.teamlinkt.com/
The digital gamesheet won't allow me to start the game with our Substitute goalie, how do I circumvent this?
Your Substitute Goalie's position must be "Goaltender". Not "G," "GK," or "Goalkeeper," TeamLinkt seems to work best with Goaltender.
Please beware the extra space at the end of the word (i.e., "Goaltender "). There's a chance that the additional character could be causing issues too.
My team is playing with eleven field players instead of a goalie, how do I proceed through the roster check-in on the TeamLinkt app?
Use the "Add Substitute Player" section to add an athlete named "No Goalie Dressed" or something similar. In the goaltender dropdown menu, select the "No Goalie Dressed" player as your goalie for that game.
Both teams input and verified their rosters seperately, but now one or both have dissapeared. What happened?
Only one person can edit the gamesheet at a time. If multiple devices are attempting to edit it, changes will not be saved. The League recommends that the home team takes on this task so everyone can anticipate what will happen field-side, but please communicate with your opponents to ensure the gamesheet is completed to the best of your ability.
