HockeyCanada.ca 1 HOCKEY CANADA MISSION STATEMENT Lead, Develop and Promote Positive Hockey Experiences Joe Drago 1283 Montrose Avenue Sudbury, ON P3A 3B9 Chair of the Board Hockey Canada 2016-17 2 HockeyCanada.ca CHAIR’S MESSAGE FOR 2017-2018 We have been extremely busy with the Board and Members working with the new governance model. Dramatic changes can be difficult especially after years working with a completely different model. The Board has adapted well. I believe there is a steady and positive progression throughout the Members. It gives me pleasure working as a team for the betterment of our participants and the game. Not only have we concentrated on governance, but we also continue to examine the rules and regulations that are necessary to provide and promote fun, safety and skill development. We must offer programs that respect those who play, coach, and officiate, as well as the many others involved both on and off the ice - our wonderful volunteers. The introduction of the mandatory Initiation Program is a big step forward. Comments from Members and parents indicate acceptance and support for this move. The cross ice game permits a young player to participate actively with much more involvement in playing the game. This also provides an opportunity to work on and develop skills. More importantly, players are having fun. We remain a power house and leader on the world stage. The male and female programs continue to dominate the sport. A most pleasant addition to our world successes is the performance of the Sledge team. We are so proud of their accomplishments and the professionalism displayed at world events. It was special to watch the team win Gold. How proud we are when the Canadian flag is raised to the rafters. My thanks to the Hockey Canada Board, the Members and their staffs, the Hockey Canada staff and especially the many volunteers who make us a sports leader in Canada and the world. Your dedication, loyalty and commitment are priceless. Thank you again and again. I hope to see you in an arena and send best wishes for the season.

The easiest thing would be to thank all the many people that have been contacted during the researching of this history. There has been nothing but cooperation from everyone, for which I am really thankful. However there are a few people who must be given special thanks for their help, patience and forbearance. The first of these must be my wife Katheleen who racked her brains remembering all she could about her family, while digging out all her old photographs and letters. She also listened patiently to my endless theories, hopes, successes and failures, besides searching records in Alberta, Ontario and Ireland Archives and tramping through numerous cemetaries in these same areas. Without her the task would have been considerably harder. The same can be said, in varying degrees, to her family from whom I continually requested information and pictures. Mabel M "Wright" Duncan who wrote "The Duncans of Bethel" must be commended for the work she put into the book, while her niece Margaret Elizabeth Duncan, of Edmonton is thanked for introducing me to it. While on the subject of books Patricia Harts "Pioneering in North York", is a must to anyone who is researching that area.

Operational and Policy Governance are clearly understood. The Board of Directors and Members have adapted well. Again, I stress how pleased I am to work with a team striving to improve our organization and game. The Board recognizes that hockey is a passion with high expectations from our country. The mandatory Initiation Program is experiencing some concern in a few areas; however, I have been impressed with the progress and attitude of the Members actively involved in promoting the value of this program. It is pleasant to receive compliments supporting the Board for this initiative. It is difficult to be critical of a program that works on improvement and develops skills as well as incorporating fun in the game.
