By rule, the substitutes must report, except at halftime, and give their number to the scorer. You use NCAA rules in Canada, right? The reference is 3-4. (The FED rule is the same, but the reference might be different).

If this is a "less formal" league (generally called "rec league" here), then what the coach is doing might be accepted practice. If many coaches do it, and no one complains, I'd let it go.
