BC Hockey Presidents Report

This year BC Hockey continues to work with our membership to offer the best in program delivery, as well as develop sound strategies that will help us to grow positively in the future. With the advent of the Olympic Games in Vancouver, pressure was applied to all facets of hockey administration, but I am proud to say we got through it while continuing to meet the needs of our membership. My thanks to all those MHA’s that had to bend a little, but did not break.

We were fortunate to hold some National events besides the big show in Feb. which included the , in Fort St. John, the U18 Women’s Nationals in Surrey, as well as the Western Bantam Championships in Burnaby, and the Western Jr. B Championship in . My thanks to the Host Committee’s of these events, as all proved to be very successful.

On the home front we continue to work on our Strategic Plan in order to help set direction, and stay true to our Mission statement. We have added a marketing initiative this year, and hired a firm to explore marketing opportunities’ within BC Hockey We hope to report many sponsorship partnerships in the future. In that regard we are pleased to report the renewal of a sponsorship agreement with the , which increases the monetary support of not only the MML but also shows a substantial increase, financially in our High Performance Program. We also are pleased to report that we have renewed a commitment to the BCHL to help promote and support the league, and look to new initiatives in the future.

We have worked hard to deliver programming in a simpler, smoother form. The bumps that we experienced last year with on-line registration, Criminal Record Checks, and the move to Respect in Sport were corrected, and allowed us to deliver most clinics in a timely fashion. We still however had to deal with coaches that missed deadlines for post task submission, as well as some officials not completing CRC, but these numbers are decreasing.

Nationally, we successfully lobbied Hockey to increase financial support for the HCR in this year’s Budget. This will insure that this technology continues to move forward. BC Hockey continues to be a Major influence at the National table, and will continue in the future. Hockey Canada passed a motion at the Semi Annual in November, that will effect Junior A in Canada. We along with the other Western Branches, as well as our respective Jr A Leagues, are working together to re-adjust this motion, as we feel the outcome would be detrimental to Junior A Hockey in Canada. I will update you on results at the AGM in Prince George, as the Hockey Canada AGM is to be held in Montreal in May. My thanks to those Executive members who sit on Hockey Canada Councils for your hard work this year. As you may know Randy Henderson had to step down in November as Officer at Large for personal reasons. His portfolio was distributed amongst the other Officers, particularly Al Berg, and I thank them for doing double duty.

Your Executive has had to make some tough decisions this past year, some popular, some not. We are bound by our regulations and as we strive to make the game better we must not loose site of the fact that rules are in place for a reason. Some need to be changed for the betterment of the game, some don’t. But as we meet here in Prince George to deliberate changes to the game, I would ask that you do so as hockey people. Making hockey decisions that will affect hockey players, coaches, and officials. There has been an overwhelming trend over the last few years, that in our haste to

2

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT recruit volunteers for the game, we do so at the risk of filling positions, instead of looking for hockey volunteers with a hockey background. As a result, we find it difficult to focus on what’s good for the game. As I said last year, passion is a good thing, as long as it is directed in the positive. Let’s stay positive and make good decisions.

As you all know I have decided to let my name stand this year for President. My decision is based solely on the fact that at this time I believe that BC Hockey needs strong, experienced leadership. We are faced with the possibility of having our President, Vice President, and all our officer positions, filled by new people. This coupled with the fact that a couple of candidates have decided to bypass our normal process for gaining experience through an important path, that allows an individual the ability to grow as they move through the various Executive Committee positions. That puts BC Hockey at an extreme disadvantage. For these reasons I would encourage you all to attend this years AGM in Prince George. Take the time to educate yourselves on what each candidate for the various positions brings to that position, and then make an informative choice, based on fact, not fiction.

In summary, I would like to thank all those volunteers within our organization that not only volunteer for BC Hockey, but managed to do double duty during the Olympic Winter Games to showcase our Province, and the game that we hold in such great esteem. Your commitment and overwhelming support of not only our game, but the gambit of sports that make up the Olympic Games, made the rest of us proud to be from . You truly had a part in making Vancouver 2010 the best Olympics ever.

Well done!

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Barry Petrachenko, Executive Director

BC Hockey is a complex organization, one which strives daily to meet the ever changing needs of amateur hockey in our Province. We were highly successful on the ice this year, with our usual slate of Branch Championships augmented by the fact that we currently hold every Regional and National championship at the Junior and Senior levels. Congratulations to the , Revelstoke Grizzlies and Fort St John Flyers for making BC the province of champions this spring.

Our on-ice success was made possible by the usual contributions of our volunteer workforce, a group that delivers our programming and paves the way for putting our best foot forward in future years. Adapting to the demands of this exceptional group is no easy task: our office handles just under 80,000 phone calls per year, while wading through over 1.2 million emails. That is a lot of hockey business, all driven by the passion of our people. It is that sort of passion for the game which is the key ingredient in our ability to achieve our lofty goals, such as the implementation of the Respect in Sport program roll out conducted this year in replacement of our Speak Out! clinics. This success of this online training tool indicates both the willingness of our membership to embrace methods of improving our game through technology and their dedication to ensuring an idea will work once the decision is made to move in a certain direction.

Change is nothing new to BC Hockey of course, and this year we continued our leadership legacy by adapting to a new age category for our Male High Performance teams at the Canada Winter Games. By working with our neighbouring Branches and the WHL we created the Western Branch U16 Challenge to fill a void in our programming. We also piloted a sixteen game High School Hockey Championship, an initiative directed by discussions at the BC Hockey Summit at the Whistler AGM, and in a year that saw the Olympics come to our province we also found a way to host the Allan Cup, the Women’s National Under 18 Championship, the Western Shield, the Keystone Cup and the Western Bantam Championship. More impressive than the sheer quantity of events was their quality: the hosts of each event continued the BC tradition of sending our visiting teams’ home with the experience of a lifetime.

In recent years we have been laying the foundation of marketing inventories in order to seek out partnerships which will benefit the organization financially. The fact that we are now reaping benefits from those efforts is no surprise given the quality programming we are able to produce – our partners want to be associated with our organization and our people. As such, we will continue to enhance minor hockey programming by working with groups like the in the staging of events that celebrate the game and those within it. As we move forward we will continue utilize technology to make it easier to deliver programming and we will do our best to improve ourselves with ongoing enhancements to our communications plan, so that people know about what we do and how they can benefit from being a part of BC Hockey.

This is a proud time for BC Hockey and a fantastic time to be within our membership. Thanks to all whose efforts made the 2009-2010 season one to remember – I look forward to being even better in the years ahead.

JUNIOR B Brian Harrison, BC Hockey Junior B Divisional Director

It has been another interesting and successful season for the Junior B Program in BC.

The Jr.B program in BC offers players ages 16 to 20 the opportunity to play fast, skilled and competitive hockey at an affordable price close to home. We operate within 3 Leagues, the KIJHL (18 teams), PIJHL (10 teams) and the VIJHL (8 teams).

5

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Jr B hockey has come a long, long way over the past several years and continues to be a brand of hockey that is extremely important in the development of players in the hockey chain. All of our Leagues can look proudly at players who have moved through the Jr.B system all the way to the NHL. Players such as and former VIJHL rookie of the year Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars, are but two of many recent examples.

In addition to producing outstanding hockey players, we have been part of guiding many young men in their development towards becoming fine citizens within each of our communities. We can all look with pride at the many Jr.B players who have stayed with the game by officiating, coaching and giving back to their communities through hockey. Other former Jr.B players have succeeded outside of hockey. There is nothing “B” about our efforts to not only help in the process of developing exceptional hockey players, but also to develop top-notch citizens in each of our communities.

We have continued this season in our efforts to reduce what is sometimes referred to as the violent aspect of our game. All Leagues have policies in place that are far stricter than the hockey Canada rules in dealing with a number of these infractions. As an example, most players not only receive a GM for both a CttH and CfB penalty, but get additional suspensions for a major in these situations. Further, fighting (while viewed by some as part of the game) has been reduced by adding additional consequences for repeat offenders, and by adding to the respite of instigators and aggressors. In the just-concluded Keystone Cup, there was but one fighting major in 17 games. There were none in the Cyclone Taylor. It is clear that progress has been made and continues to be made in this area.

It is encouraging to see that because of the emphasis shift towards skilled hockey in our quest to develop players, we are attracting an increasing numbers of players who view Jr.B in BC as a desirable level of hockey in which to increase their skill level as they move through the system. However, not only are we finding more skilled players participating at this level, but we are attracting more quality coaches who want to be part of our increasingly successful program. This season we saw coaches with Canadian University experience in our Leagues as well as coaches with WHL and BCHL experience behind our benches. A few former NHL players are adding their expertise to this mix. In addition, we are finding that the coaching programs of BC Hockey continue to raise the bar in this area as well. This is good for Jr.B Hockey, but more importantly, it is good for the development of our game and the development of our players.

Another interesting development this year has seen Simon Fraser University stepping up and offering scholarship opportunities to a number of our players.

So how does BC Jr.B Hockey compare, not only within their Leagues, but with the other four Western Canadian Provinces?

This year’s Cyclone Taylor Tournament hosted at Parksville was extremely competitive, with all Leagues being able to match fairly equally. The Revelstoke Grizzlies and played in the Gold medal game. The score was 0-0 into the third before Revelstoke scored and eventually won the game and went on to represent the Province at the Western Canadian Championships, hosted this year by Kamloops. Interestingly, Peninsula had defeated Revelstoke in the round robin portion of the tournament. Both Aldergrove and host Oceanside more than held their own, with Aldergove winning the bronze medal.

In the Keystone, BC Champion Revelstoke was the class of the tournament by not only winning the round-robin portion of the tournament, but also by winning the gold medal game against . In the consolation game, the were victorious over . Congratulations to coach

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Troy Mick of Revelstoke and coach Greg Hawgood of Kamloops for doing such an outstanding job in preparing their teams for this event.

We can all be proud of the fact that this is our second consecutive win at the Keystone, which is emblematic of Western Canada Jr.B hockey supremacy. It is the first time BC has successfully defended this prestigious Championship.

I believe this showing at both the Provincial and Western Canadian Championships demonstrates that we are on the right track with our program at this level in BC and have demonstrated that this is a level of hockey of which we can all support and be justifiably proud.

In conclusion, I wish to thank the three League Presidents, Ken Connelly, VIJHL, Bill Ohlhausen, KIJHL and PIJHL president, George Richards for their support and outstanding contributions, not only to their Leagues but to the successful Jr.B program in BC as well.

Thank you also to Barry Petrachenko, Sean Orr and Jeremy Ainsworth for their assistance. Also, thank you to BC Hockey officer, Al Berg for his sage advice.

SENIOR MALE HOCKEY Al Berg, BC Hockey Senior Male / Recreational Divisional Director

The 2009-10 season was a year of change for Senior Male hockey in BC Hockey with Bob James stepping down as the Senior Male Divisional Director. On behalf of BC Hockey I would like to thank Bob for his 23 years of service to senior hockey.

The 2010 Allan Cup will be held in Fort St. John, BC by the host team the Fort St. John Flyers. The Flyers have won Senior Male AAA Championship since the 2006-07 season.

The Senior Male AAA division was placed in a peculiar position with only three (3) registered teams. The Flyers had already secured a spot in the Allan Cup as the Host Team. The geographic distance between the three (3) teams – Powell River, Fort St. John and Whitehorse – caused a financial burden for each team to hold a three (3) team tournament. The decision was made to hold a playoff between Whitehorse and Powell River to determine the entrant to the Allan Cup. Powell River won the best-of-series 3-0 against Whitehorse. The Senior Male AAA Champion will be determined in the outcome of the round robin game between Powell River and Fort St John in the Allan Cup.

The Powell River Regals hosted the Coy Cup – Senior Male AA Championship – this season. The three (3) other participating teams were the Mid Island Blazers, Kitimat Ice Demons and the Williams Lake Stampeders the defending champions. The Powell River Regals captured the Championship with a win over the Mid Island Blazers in the Championship game.

BC Hockey took an aggressive approach to Adult Recreation program this past season. Most effort throughout the year has been researching the market, building a program, website, registration process, identifying future needs, planning a District Zone Challenge pilot project and subsequently setting the organization up for a recruitment drive during the 2010-11 season.

BC Hockey will be holding a Senior Hockey meeting at the 2010 Annual General Meeting for the first time in recent history. At this time discussion on issues will be held between key members in Senior Hockey within the branch.

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

SENIOR FEMALE HOCKEY Rick Kupchuk, BC Hockey Female Senior / Recreational Divisional Director

The number of competitive senior female hockey teams in B.C. will likely increase in the coming seasons, after many years of decline.

Although we have lost our only Senior AAA team, BC Hockey had seven teams in the Senior AA/A categories, up by one from a season earlier. Two new Senior A teams will be applying for membership next season.

Much of the demand comes from players graduating from the B.C. Midget AAA league still wanting to play at a competitive level.

The South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League operated with six teams in its competitive division, two of which were Senior AA teams, the other four classified as Senior A. Teams were located in Victoria, Parksville, Delta, Vancouver, and Kamloops, each playing a 20-game schedule prior to advancing to their respective provincial championship tournaments.

SCFAHL has received applications for two more Senior A teams – one in Richmond, the other being a club team out of Simon Fraser University, and is expected to operate with eight teams in 2010-11.

A fifth Senior A team, the North Peace Eagles of Fort St. John, played in the Alberta-based Peace Country Female Hockey League.

The Killarney Knights won the Senior AA provincial title, defeating the Delta Jets in a best-of-three playoff series played in Vancouver/Delta.

A Senior A provincial tournament was contested in Logan Lake, where the Victoria Phantoms edged the Kamloops Vibe 2-0 in the championship game. The Tri-City Predators and North Peace Eagles also participated.

The Western Shield tournament was hosted by the Victoria Phantoms April 8-11, and the host committee headed by Laurie Wishart did an outstanding job

On the ice, B.C. was well-represented. The Killarney Knights won a silver medal, falling 4-2 to the Red Deer Bandits in the championship game of the Senior A pool.

The Kamloops Vibe also claimed silver, after losing 4-3 in a shootout to the Aces in the Senior B gold medal game.

Recreation hockey continues to be strong on Vancouver Island, with several teams/leagues in operation within BC Hockey. However, in major centres such as Greater Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna and Prince George – female recreation hockey is also proving popular, but is played outside of BC Hockey. .

WEST KOOTENAY REPORT Dave Biggar, BC Hockey District Director

As another exciting season of hockey comes to a close I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those throughout the District who have worked behind the scenes to allow our kids to be the best that they can be. I hope all of you will continue to share your wisdom ,experience and most importantly your love of the Game.

I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of every Minor Hockey Association who deal with the complexities of Minor Hockey. It takes a dedicated team of volunteers to run a Minor Hockey Hockey Association and the West Kootenay is fortunate to have individuals who are ready to meet the challenge.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our District Coordinators for their continued dedication to Hockey programs throughout the District. The success of our programs is only possible through your hard work and dedication.

Once again the West Kootenay was able to send a Female team in each division to Provincial Championships. I would like to thank Nelson [Midget] Castlegar [Bantam] and Trail [PeeWee] for their ongoing support of Female Hockey in the district.

This year we had the pleasure of hosting the Female Pewee and Bantam Tier 3 Provincial Championships. Congratulations go out to the Victoria Ice Hawks 2009-2010 Female Peewee Champions and to the the 2009-210 Bantam Tier 3 Provincial Champions. Once again our host committees did an outstanding job and I would like to thank all of the great volunteers for all of their hard work.

I will not be seeking re-election this year, it has been a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve the District and the Branch. Over the years I have had the chance to meet many outstanding individuals from every corner of the province who work tirelessly to give our Kids with best possible experience that the game of hockey can provide. My time in Hockey has been an extraordinary experience and I was blessed to be a part of an amazing team. Thanks again and remember it's only a game.

LOWER MAINLAND REPORT Bonnie Cameron, Neil McNabb, Lochie Bell, BC Hockey District Directors

The Lower Mainland’s 2009-2010 hockey season started with the PCAHA Semi-Annual meeting in September. The plans for the season were presented.

NORTH CENTRAL REPORT Cathy Mason, BC Hockey District Director

The North Central District had an exciting year.

We began the season with the Tier 1 teams playing in an interlocking exhibition schedule with the OMAHA league in order to create a more competitive season. It was great to see Prince George host some Tier 1 home games that provided the fans with some very entertaining hockey.

November brought the Chevy Safe and Fun program to Prince George as they hosted Cassie Campbell and Bobby Orr. Several local coaches had the opportunity to work alongside the hockey greats and players from around the province made the treck north to participate. It was pure grass roots hockey at its finest and the best hockey experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of.

The New Year brought us our high performance camps and preparations for hosting the Bantam Tier 2 Championships. High Performance Directors Tanya Ney and Steve Amiss worked tirelessly to ice competitive camps with tremendous results. Malcolm Sutton and his committee in Williams Lake took on the task of hosting BC Hockey Bantam Tier 2 Championships and delivered a top notch event. The NC district had the pleasure of hosting both the U-16 BC Cup in Prince George and U-17 BC Cup in 100 Mile House. Many volunteer hours were dedicated to these events and once again the citizens of Northern BC came through.

Congratulations to the MML Cariboo Cougars and the BCHL for their exciting and very entertaining playoffs. MML Coach, Trevor Sprague, was the recipient of the BC Hockey MML Coach of the Year award and deservingly so.

As with every season we had some challenges and through those we learned to communicate a little better and listen a little better.

There are many people that work hard all season for the good of the game. Many thanks go to RCM Bill Hudyma, FCM Rayna Kelner, SRM Frank Gonzalez and DCC Adrien Chabot and Tanya and Steve. Thanks also to the administrators that make the job of District Director much easier: Shelly, Audrey, Pam, Angela and the staff at BC Hockey. See you and the rink!

NORTH EAST / YUKON REPORT Trudy Alexander, BC Hockey District Director

Time flies! Volunteers, we have completed another season of hockey, put up your feet and rest, we will need you again next year. Your love of the game and continued support for the youth of our Province is appreciated.

Clinics held early in the fall create a hub of activity for coordinators, MHA’s and office staff. Online course Respect in Sport was a hit in our District. We did have a few people who were unable to log on from the outlying areas but we managed to get them hooked up in town on other computers to complete the work. The only downfall to the online clinic was the requirement for a new email address. We are hoping this will be addressed with Hockey Canada for the upcoming season.

We travel long distances in the North to play hockey but it is always rewarding to watch the improvement of players. As parents we must remind ourselves not to focus on “our “goal and remember why the majority of children play hockey – to have fun and socialize with their friends.

Taking on the job with FSJ Minor as Director of Hockey I was unsure whether or not I would be seeking re-election this fall. There was very little conflict between the two positions. The District has given me their support and I am looking forward to a new year.

Again , thanks to all, see you at the AGM in Prince George.

NORTH WEST REPORT Darrell Lerum, BC Hockey District Director

2009-2010 Season has passed and the North West District has enjoyed a very successful year. Doing this position for my second year still brings lots of challenges but comes easier with the past year experience. With the help of the District President and the District Coordinators the District ran several clinics throughout the year and everyone was certified that needed to be so teams were eligible for Championships.

Match and Gross suspensions this season was a little lower than last season. It was the first year the Skeena Valley League adopted the penalty point system from the Omenica league and with the organization of the statistician it helped the Skeena league reduce their Match and Gross penalties. The District needs to re-look at the penalty point system to make it easier for coaches to understand and keep track of their points throughout the year. The two leagues have worked together on the point system and it showed by lowering the gross and match penalties.

Prince Rupert hosted the Northern BC Winter Games this year with myself and Bob Storey attending. It ran very smooth and was a great experience for all players and an excellent development weekend for the officials.

Burns Lake hosted Tier 4 Midget Championships this year and thanks to Cathy Mason and Bob Storey the Championships ran very successfully and I received lots of very positive feedback regarding the Championships. Chase ended up winning the Championships with Houston getting the silver medal.

I attended the Williams Lake Tier 2 Bantam Championships. I was very impressed how well the host committee organized this event. The week was filled with excellent hockey and a great experience for myself to meet new people and see a high quality hockey played at the Bantam level. I had a lot of positive feedback though out the week from players, parents and coaches.

Our Female teams continue to grow larger and stronger every year. Our female midget team from Houston attended the female Championships and did very well. I would like to thank Mark Roberge NWFHPDC and Chantal Tom NWFDC for all there help with the female organizing this year.

The District has two important positions to fill this year. Mark Capwell has stepped down from RCM and Dave Tucker has stepped down from Coach Coordinator. In May we have our District Meeting in Smithers and I hope we can fill these important positions at that time. It is important to get new people involved but the District still needs the experience and knowledge of the past volunteers.

This is my second year as District Director and I would like to thank the other District Directors and officers for their help throughout the year. All the people within the BC Hockey office are always very helpful so this makes our job as District Director a lot easier so our Districts run smooth throughout the year. Hopefully I will be able to continue to be part of BC Hockey as the District Director for the North West for next season.

OKANAGAN MAINLINE REPORT Sherry Wakelin and Wilf Liefke, BC Hockey District Directors

Well, another hockey season has come to an end and we now look to next year and the opportunities and challenges that await us. Thanks to all the volunteers this past season for their commitment and dedication and to those who are looking at the opportunity to volunteer for the 2010/2011 season, welcome.

The Okanagan District hosted 5 Provincial Championships: Female Bantam A in Kamloops; Bantam Tier 4 in Chase, Pee Wee Tier 4 in Clearwater, Pee Wee Tier 3 in Winfield and Pee Wee Tier 2 in Penticton. Thanks to the Associations who took up the challenge to host provincials and all the volunteers who worked endlessly to make them all memorable and enjoyable. Congratulations to those associations whose teams won provincial championships in their respective divisions.

Clinics were held throughout in our District for HCSP, HCOP and Coaching. North Okanagan Zone had 3 Coach/Hybrid clinics with 94 attending and 2 Development 1 clinics with 66 attending. On line Respect In Sport has been a great addition to the on line training opportunity.

There were approximately 189 tournaments held in our District this past season.

The Okanagan District had 69 names come forward to recognize volunteers with Minor Hockey Week Awards during Minor Hockey Week. One plaque was awarded to Dennis Beraducci from Revelstoke and all other nominees received certificates. Thank you to all the associations who sent in their nominations to recognize their volunteers.

VANCOUVER ISLAND REPORT Joe McDonald, BC Hockey District Director

The competitive program within the District is running well but the number of carded teams is down ever so slightly from last year. There are also fewer female teams at the Midget / Bantam / Peewee levels. The foundation to support the female “A” program and ultimately the Female Midget “AAA” program will be a challenge for the District moving forward into next season. Further planning around the development of female athletes is well under way with lots of good discussions and new proposals on league structures for competitive and recreational female teams. There are also approximately 24 teams participating in an Atom Development league along with another ~242 recreational teams on the Island amongst the various MHA’s.

The Island has embarked upon the new “yellow card” program for this season in an attempt to heighten awareness of parents and spectators regarding verbal abuse towards players and officials. Posters were distributed to each MHA / arena to make spectators, parents, fans etc aware of its existence. This program has been received with mixed feelings. Communication of its existence is still one of the keys to its success.

By seasons end, 11 teams received approval to travel out of Province to attend tournaments in other Branches and the USA. Approximately 203 other inter district travel requests were approved for travel within other Districts inside the Branch. These numbers are almost identical to the previous season.

On the penalty front, the total number of match and gross misconduct penalties are down in comparison to the previous years.

2007 – 2008 (season) 2008 – 2009 (season) 2009 – 20109 (season) Match Gross Match Gross Match Gross (61) (37) (65) (51) (42) (37)

A challenge was issued to the local MHA Presidents to take back the message that the increasing number of major penalties is not acceptable. Further, the carded league team officials were also presented with the same challenge at their mandatory team officials meeting prior to league play. I would like to applaud the effort that everyone has made in curbing the past two seasons trend. Thank you.

Mandated clinic information is as follows:

a) HCSP – 12 clinics were held with approximately 245 people attending and getting certified; generally the numbers are down possibly due to getting caught up and having a longer period before recertification; c) Officiating – 23 clinics (includes 1 female clinic, 1 instructors clinic) were held with approximately 758 officials attending and getting certified; In the south end on the island, one officiating clinic coincided with classes at the Hockey Academy at Parkland School which added 17 new level 1 officials; communication with the Above minor program remains a work in progress; the four man system has been employed in several MHA’s this season with good reviews; d) Coaching: Development 1 - 4 clinics were held with approximately 145 people attending; e) Coaching: Hybrid - 13 clinics were held with approximately 323 people attending; there have been several returning coaches to re-do the clinics this season as they did not turn in their post tasks prior to the deadline last March 2009.

In addition to these there have been a few Specialty Clinics on the island. Clinics included "Small Area Games (20 people attending)", Developing D-Men (13 people attending) and "Checking (11 people attending)".

I would like to thank each of the BC Hockey V.I. District coordinators within the District for their dedication and persistence to getting clinics organized and well run this past season. With the advent of the new on-line Respect in Sport, this has eased some of the workload in regards to reduced clinics. These people have put in many hours and I would like to thank them for that. Well done!

The Island hosted two BCH Championships in March 2010. Both Championships were a great success. I would like to thank each of the host MHA’s (Juan de Fuca & Cowichan Valley) and their Championship Committee members for a job well done.

COACH COMMITTEE REPORT Robin Douville, BC Hockey Officer at Large

Without a doubt, the number one issue in coaching this past season is the implementation of the deadline for post task submission in order to remain certified. I believe the coaching committee and the branch made every effort to get the word out to our membership of the change in the regulations. As a reminder, the new regulations, which came into effect at the 2008 AGM, read as follows:

Team Official Qualifications 2.25 Beginning in the 2008-2009 season all BC Hockey/Hockey Canada Carded Coaches must be qualified at the Developmental 1 Stream to coach Minor, Female and Junior Hockey by December 1st of the current season. Coaches will have until March 31st of the current season to complete the requirements for Development Stream Certification.

2.26 Beginning in the 2008-2009 season all BC Hockey Minor Hockey Associations and non-Hockey Canada Carded Female Teams are to ensure that all coaches are Coach Stream Qualified by December 15th of the current season. Coaches will have until March 31st of the current season to complete the requirements for Coach Stream Certification.

We began to receive applications for exemption from the deadline as early as April 2, 2009 and this continued through to the end of the season. Virtually all of the applications have been denied and all coaches have been advised to attend another clinic and submit a post task in order to obtain certification. This deadline has been recommended by the Coaching committee and endorsed by the Executive. I would like to thank the many course conductors who presented the clinics on our behalf. You’ve all done a great job under trying circumstances. For those who have completed their post task with a passing grade – congratulations! For those who have not, we are pleased to offer both Development 1 and Hybrid clinics again starting in September in every district.

The Coach Committee met last summer in Langley at Trinity Western University, along with the Officiating Committee and the Safety and Risk Management Committee.

Some of the highlights of the weekend meetings are:

1. Recommendation that all course conductors to be provided with a BC Hockey shirt showing that they are representatives of the branch. (approved) 2. The next coach committee meeting to be scheduled in May, 2010. 3. Coaching page on the BC Hockey website to be updated. 4. Reminder of the requirement for Criminal Record Checks for DCC’s and course conductors. 5. Review of procedure for online clinic and delegate registration. 6. Confirmation of clinic delegates current coaching position before registration. 7. Recommendation that only coaches who are actively coaching carded teams will be certified at Development 1 level. (approved) 8. Recommendation to offer a specialty clinic training seminar for interested course conductors. (approved) 9. Recommendation to offer a Development 2 clinic in the summer of 2010. (approved)

BC Hockey holds a Specialty Clinic Course Conductor training seminar on an annual basis. This seminar brings in delegates from across the Province and trains them in the facilitation of Specialty Clinics. This year’s seminar took place in Vancouver, in conjunction with Coaching Day in BC. Eleven delegates from Port Hardy to Kitimat attended and have begun introducing the Mentorship Program into their communities.

In 2009-2010, we trained a total of 11 Mentorship Course Conductors

Total Trained Mentorship Course Conductors in BC: 58

In closing, I would like to thank Jim Weiker, Provincial Coach Coordinator, George Cochrane, Provincial Coach Mentor Coordinator and all the District coach coordinators for their hard work and dedication to the advancement of coaching across the province.

HIGH PERFORMANCE Robin Douville, BC Hockey Officer at Large – High Performance Chair

High Performance Staff orientation seminar was held September 25-27 in Richmond to train all the high performance team and district staff for the upcoming season. We had an exceptional turnout and all those attending were treated to 2 informative presentations. The first was a journey through a year in the life of the Canadian Mens Sledge Hockey Team with Mike Mondin, head coach. The second was a presentation by Cory McNabb from Hockey Canada on skills. The presentation was very informative and Cory informed the group that Hockey Canada is hoping to have the new skills package available by the end of the year.

The High Performance Committee met the weekend of September 11-13 and forwarded 8 recommendations to the executive committee for approval. 1) Recommendation: That BC Hockey supports the formation of a BC Hockey / Regional U17 Team Pacific Selection Camp. This recommendation was approved by the EC and talks have begun with Hockey Alberta.

2) Recommendation: That a representative from the officiating committee be added to the HP committee. This recommendation was denied by the EC as redundant as the two committees share ideas at the Development Committee meeting.

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

3) Recommendation: To eliminate team bus travel for players to the (male) U16 and U17 BC Cups. Approved

4) Recommendation: That the MML league reviews the High Performance program dates at the MML orientation meeting each season. Approved

5) Recommendation: BC Hockey addresses the list of deficiencies from the 2010 BC Winter Games. Approved

7) Recommendation: That BC Hockey purchases one Steva License as well as suitable tech equipment to run a pilot project for our provincial teams. Approved

8) Recommendation: That BC Hockey delays the interface between the female U18 program and the FMAAA league. Approved

Male - U-17 - Provincial Camp – Nanaimo-July This was the first year in recent memory that the U17 Male and the U18 Female summer camps were held together. The facilities in Nanaimo are well suited to a camp of this size with the college dorms located close to the arena. The camps were very successful, with players, coaching staff, and officials all being evaluated and mentored.

46 players were invited to camp and 22 were short-listed at the end of camp. These 22 players were evaluated on their club teams until Nov. 15, at which time 11 were selected to join Team Pacific, along with 11 players from Alberta. Team Pacific competed in the World U-17 Challenge in Timmins, Dec. 28, 2008 to Jan. 3, 2009. I would like to thank Al Berg for attending as the branch representative. The team posted a 2-2 record in the round robin portion of the tournament and went on to finish in 5th place overall.

U-16 The first ever U16 Provincial camp was held in Penticton in August in conjunction with the HP 1 seminar for high level coaches. The coaching delegates were utilized to coach the players at camp, while taking part in other clinic presentations. From the camp, 20 players were selected to compete at the inaugural Western Branch Bantam Challenge. This event took place in Red Deer, Alberta in November and was partially sponsored by the WHL. Unfortunately, a good part of Team BC was suffering the effects of a flu bug while at the competition.

A recommendation from the HP committee not to enter the U16 male category in the BC Winter Games was approved by the executive committee. We are working towards an alternate category of male hockey in the 2012 Games.

As we were not constrained by the Games schedule, the male U16 zone camps were held March 19- 21, 2010. 545 players participated across the branch, about average for this level. 20 players were selected from each zone to participate in the BC Cup, a jamboree style tournament, held in Prince George, April 15-18, 2010. There were 46 players selected from the BC Cup tournament to be invited to a provincial development and selection camp. 20 players will be selected from that camp to represent the province on Team BC, which will compete at the Canada Winter Games in Halifax in February, 2011. Coaching staff for Team BC are: Head Coach - Russ Weber of Vancouver, Assistant

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Coaches - Brent Arseneault of Prince George and Kevin MacKay of Kimberley. Director of Operations for Team BC is Jeff Kerr of Victoria.

Female U-18 Provincial Camp – Nanaimo – July As mentioned, camp was held in conjunction with the Male U17 camp and was, by all accounts, a huge success. 46 players attended and 20 were selected to Team BC. This year’s team hosted the U-18 National Championship the week of November 2-9 in Surrey. I was able to attend the competition with the team, which was held at the South Surrey Arena. Team BC did not win any games and finished a disappointing 8th place finish, so we have some work ahead of us to get the next Team BC prepared to compete.

U-16 Zone Camps - held the weekend of Jan. 1-3, 2010 throughout the province. Approximately 300 players participated in the eight zone camps across the branch. 20 players selected from each camp to represent their zone to at the BC Winter Games, held in Terrace March 3-7, 2010. The games were very competitive, with the skill level raised again over last year. Fraser Valley defeated the favourites from the Okanagan in the gold medal game, while Kootenay came from behind to defeat Vancouver/Squamish in the final minutes of the bronze medal game.

Coming up - U18 Female Team BC A provincial camp was held in Nanaimo in May to select approximately 26 players to a short list. The selected players will compete at a few events in order to pare the number down to the 20 that will compete at the Canada Winter Games. Once selected, the team will begin preparations to compete in the Canada Winter Games to be held in Halifax in February of 2011. The team will be led by Head Coach, Greg Hermiston of Kamloops, along with assistant coaches Natalie Christensen of Abbotsford and Pat Thibeault of Vancouver. Director of Operations for Team BC is Bruce Tuck.

U17 Male Team Pacific - 23 players have been selected from the BC Cup competition to join 22 Alberta players who will compete at a regional camp for a spot on Team Pacific, which will compete once again at the World U17 Challenge, to be held December 28, 2010 – January 2, 2011. At the time this report went to print, team staff had yet to be selected.

FEMALE HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE / FEMALE MIDGET AAA LEAGUE REPORT Jim Humphrey, BC Hockey Officer at Large

As we write last season into the history books and begin preparations for next season we should take the time to look back and review some of the challenges and accomplishments we had during 2009/2010. In order to move forward we need to first look backward to see where we have been and where we want to get to.

This past season I was responsible for and chaired the Female Development Committee and the Female Midget League. I also sat on the Hockey Canada Female Council as BC Hockey’s representative, I attended Hockey Canada Fall Council Meetings in Montreal last October and the Hockey Canada AGM again in Montreal this past May.

Female Hockey Development Committee: The past year was challenging at times for this committee, especially on the maintaining communication. Some coordinators were excellent at promoting female hockey within their District while others were not heard from for pretty much most of the year. For female hockey to grow we must have strong advocates prepared to spend the time that it takes in working with the MHAs throughout the province. However in saying this there were also many accomplishments over the year, our dedicated staff worked diligently behind the scenes organizing and assisting with the many events that took place.

The Female Hockey Development Committee held their annual meeting October 3rd and 4th in Victoria in conjunction with our National Women’s team playing the USA. The meeting was very positive and we missed those members that were not able to attend. Joey Walsh did a good job at organizing things for us and being there to support the committee. Trina Radcliffe Manager Female Hockey Development attended our meeting and gave an overview of where female development is within the country.

The committee discussed a variety of agenda items over the two days and made the following recommendations which were also later supported by the BC Hockey Development Committee and Executive Committee.

1) Recommendation: That BC Hockey utilize programs such as the High Performance program to promote the FMAAA league to prospective players coming up through the system. 2) Recommendation: BC Hockey should host a Senior Recreational Jamboree as a way to recruit adult recreational members. 3) Recommendation: That the age of the Female Jamborees be adjusted from 5-13 years of age as opposed to 7-13. 4) Recommendation: That BC Hockey adds a Female Hockey Development seminar to the seminar offerings at the AGM.

All of the above recommendations were implemented over the course of the year; we are especially excited about hosting a Female Hockey Development seminar at our AGM in Prince George.

The SCFAHL hosted the Seibu Princess Rabbits from Japan, our six teams formed an All Star team to play the 28 player team from Japan on November 21st, and the Japan team had a few players that were members of their national team.

The Victoria Phantoms hosted the Western Shield in Victoria April 8-11. Laurie Wishart host committee chair and her group of volunteers did an excellent job; the event was successful through their efforts. Rick Kupchuk our Senior Female Senior Director acted as the Branch Rep and did a tremendous job in ensuring that the weekend ran smoothly. The Killarney Knights won the silver medal in the Senior “A” category and the Kamloops Vibe won the silver medal in the Senior “B” division.

Esso Fun Days: BC Hockey in cooperation with Hockey Canada hosted a number of Esso Fun Days over the 2009- 2010 season. Below is a breakdown of where and when they were held:

Williams Lake – March 6 Campbell River – March 6 Chilliwack – Feb 27 Powell River – Sept 22

Additional Events Hosted: Hosted Hockey Canada Cup Female Skills Camp, August 29-30 in Burnaby; Hosted Hockey Canada Female Development weekend September 19-20 in Dawson Creek; Hosted Female Development Weekend in conjunction with National Team vs USA, October 5- 6 in Victoria; Hosted the U18 National Championships November 4-8 in Surrey; Hosted Female Hockey Day, January 30 in Kelowna; Hosted Female Jamboree as part of Olympic Torch Relay, January 30-31 in Fraser Lake; Hosted two other Jamboree’s, one in Williams Lake, March 5-7 the other our annual Canucks Female Jamboree, March 12-14 in Burnaby, BC;

FEMALE COACH DEVELOPMENT: We held a “We Are Coaches” clinic on March 20th in Nanaimo, hosted by Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association. The 15 female participants gained the information required to enable them to get their Coach certification, the day was arranged such that those wishing to obtain their Coach Hybrid can do so by attending day two of a clinic in the fall. In summary, the experience was extremely positive for those in attendance.

We will continue in our commitment to grow the female game, as such we will continue in our endeavor to attract more female players, coaches and game officials. To do this we realize that we must attract strong proponents of female hockey to our female development and high performance committees. We will need to work closer with our member minor hockey associations and districts, giving them the assistance they need to support the existing female programs while at the same time creating new opportunities. We are looking into hosting events similar to Esso Fun Days for the older players in hopes to perhaps attract bantam, midget and even adult women into the game.

Female Midget AAA: The 2009-2010 season saw the third year of the BC Hockey Female Midget AAA League. The league was comprised of six teams; the breakdown by District is as follows:

Lower Mainland 2; Okanagan Mainline 1; North West, North Central and North East/Yukon 1; Vancouver Island 1; East and West Kootenay’s 1

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

The start of the season had its challenges mostly due to the time it took to produce a league schedule as well as locating a host association for the Vancouver Island team. In the end the season was successful with only a few minor situations that needed to be dealt with.

The league was scheduled over six weekends with each team hosting, over this period each team played 18 games. The season was set this way in attempts to limit the cost for teams to participate. Moving forward the consensus of the teams is that there needs to be more league games, as their Alberta counterparts play a 32 game schedule. In order to compete it was felt by some that the league needs count and that perhaps the playoff structure should be reviewed so that the season ends closer to the Pacific Regional dates.

The league held its inaugural “All Star Game” January 22nd in Nanaimo, the 40 players selected played in front of a packed arena; this was so encouraging for female hockey.

The Female Midget AAA Championships were hosted by the in Prince George, all six teams participated. The playoffs were single round robin with the top two teams advancing to a one game championship, the Thompson Okanagan Rockets finished first in the round robin with the Kootenay Wildcats finishing second. The Thompson Okanagan Rockets were crowned Female Midget AAA Branch Champions.

The Thompson Okanagan Rockets hosted the Edmonton Thunder, in a best of three series in Kelowna but came up short; the Thunder represented the Pacific Region at the national championship held in Regina, Saskatchewan April 18-24, 2010.

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Conclusion: The shortage of ice in many of the urban areas continues to be an issue combined with the shortage of female players in rural areas that stifles the formation of all female teams. To overcome these situations many of our female players must travel long distances to participate on female teams compared with their male counterparts.

In closing, as we move towards a new season take the time to reflect on the accomplishments that collectively we have had, knowing that by continuing to work together the benefactor will be the players who participate. The game would not be where it is without the dedicated volunteers throughout the province and our extremely professional staff who are always there to assist where needed. I would like to thank Gary Fergusson for his assistance as the FML Coordinator and Teri Cotton as the Female Development Coordinator, one would be remise without thanking our dedicated staff, they were always there to assist.

MINOR HOCKEY COMMITTEE REPORT Shannon Bell, BC Hockey Vice President

In an on-going effort to build and improve our programs and events, BC Hockey’s Minor Committee has been looking at different ideas to assist in accomplishing this goal. For instance, we will be reviewing our Championship format to consider ways to enhance the participants’ experience. As a result of a number of tournament permission requests from recreational teams wishing to use players registered to other teams within their MHA, the Committee will be working towards a method of assisting these teams where possible. In recognition of the growing number of BC Hockey players and coaches who participate in Spring hockey, Minor Committee has been working on a Spring Hockey Policy that would enable BC Hockey members to register their teams through the Branch.

BC Hockey continues to offer and improve player and coach participation events such as Esso Fun Days, GM Safe and Fun Jamborees and Festivals, Lace ‘Em Up, and Coaching Day in BC to name a few. There have been a large number of BC Hockey hosted events as well as a number that were held in conjunction with Canucks Centre for BC Hockey. We are pleased to report that six thousand forty members were able to participate in these numerous events this past season.

The following is a summary of Minor events this past season:

Championships The majority of BC Hockey Championships were held March 7-12, 2010 with March 6 used as a travel day. The Female Bantam, Female Midget and Juvenile Championship were held the following week, March 10-14.

We would like to thank the Host Minor Hockey Associations and their Committees for all the work and effort that went into making our Championships a great success. The following is the list of the Host MHAs and Champions of each Division and Category:

REFEREE COMMITTEE REPORT Al Berg, Past President

2009-2010 PROVINCIAL REFEREE COMMITTEE Our Referee Committee Members met in August before the start of the season to prepare for the upcoming season. We do have some new RCM’s and they are eager to learn and move the program forward in their districts. Myself along with Al Berg our officer for officiating laid out our expectations for the year. Few of our RCM’s are resigning this year to outside commitments and not being able to commit fully to the job. Special thanks to Ryan Curr, Ryan Stefani, and Mike Fraser for their dedication and hard work throughout the years for our program.

CLINICS Year 2 of the online registration process with the HCR seems to have gone much smoother than the first year. Many of the unforeseen issues that came up with the new process last year have been debugged and it is an ongoing effort to fix these and make it even better. The upward trend continues as our overall numbers have risen over the previous season. We also created a committee to explore the possibility of creating a four hour re-certification clinic for experienced officials and the results were encouraging with the possible use of an online component.

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS The officiating program had a requirement for officials 18 and older to complete a Criminal Record Check. We had approximately 1595 officials affected by this initiative. We were down to approximately 27% that had not completed this. Some changes to the Back check system created some issues with getting the checks done. We are still met with opposition with this initiative and several associations do require the checks to be done but they choose to not send the checks to the office as they need them for their records. We suggest that the Branch work more closely with the local associations with respect to the CRC’s.

SUPERVISION We had discussed having the RCM’s starting up district supervision groups to help assist evaluating at the minor level. Unfortunately this initiative needs a little more planning and direction. The RCM’s along with the Above Minor Officiating Coaches have been added to the Hockey Canada Supervisor Registry and now have the ability to do their evaluations online. This process will now provide access for our Above Minor Coaches to look at the evaluations of any official and be able to scout for potential above minor officials.

DEVELOPMENT RCM’s still need to do more development in their local areas and should be assisting the local RIC’s with on-ice sessions and hosting development camps to further teach the intricacies of officiating, the practical on ice stuff. This will need to be a major focus going into next year as we need to continue to grow our grass roots programs for officiating. The development camps for the high performance programs were well attended and we have seen a very good crop of young officials invited to the high performance BC Cup events.

FEMALE OFFICIATING (as submitted by Willy Saari) Minor Hockey Female Officials: The official’s camp at the Canada Cup was a great success and well attended. We need to try to get the RCM’s working at holding female camps at events in their own district. In districts with large numbers of young female officials the focus needs to be on getting them out to a camp to highlight all the opportunities that are available to them and add some skills to their officiating abilities with an on-ice session. In districts with low numbers of female officials the workshops should be tied to female hockey events like tournaments or workshops and give the players, parents, and coaches information on the officiating side of the program. This will hopefully entice more females into becoming officials down the road.

RCM’s also need to do more homework on their female officials . I have some districts that know 80% of their officials and do a great job promoting them and other districts RCM’s have no information on their female officials. With this said we need to spend more time at the coast to find officials that want to move up the ranks and attend our camps. This needs to be done by getting or top end female officials to communicate to us regarding other up-and-coming officials that they have seen or worked with. Having a female supervisor/scout at the coast could assist with recruitment of officials. As well, having the RCM’s and myself working more with Paul Willing would be beneficial as he signs most of the top end female games at the coast. I think if I could see some of these officials at a tournament and tie this into CIS weekends or FMML games would also be a benefit.

Above Minor Female Officials We have a great group of female officials at this level and we keep working hard to find the next group of them. We do have a number of older female officials that have done a lot for the game over the years

28

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT that now need to move on to other roles in the game and not work all the top games. This has started to take place this season and will continue next season. We still can’t supply female officials for all our CSI games as the speed of the game and level of play is too much. We do however have a couple that can do the job that they expect and worked a number of the games this year. We will work at giving them a balance of male and females and work with our top female officials to get more of them able to work this hockey.

Female Midget Major League This is an excellent league for the development of our female officials. We do however need to concentrate our efforts and funds to support the officials capable of working this hockey by having more supervisions and travel funds. I feel that a conference call or workshop bringing all parties to the table will be the first step in coming up with a plan to develop an above minor program for our top female officials. Hopefully we can also involve the Senior Female Hockey into this plan and down the road College Female Hockey.

If the FMML wants to run similar to the boys side of the game it needs to step up to the plate and incur some of the costs that go along with running a top end development league.

AWARDS No awards have been selected at the time of this report.

HIGH PERFORMANCE In the high performance program we have attempted to go back to the roots of the program and use the development camps as the stepping stone to qualify for the High Performance summer officiating school. From the group of officials attending the summer school we select officials for the BC Cup events and BC Winter Games with successful candidates being nominated for the Hockey Canada Officiating Program of Excellence (OPOE) from there these officials will then qualify to be selected for events like the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge and World Junior A hockey Challenge.

In addition Kamloops was host to Hockey Canada’s Officiating Program of Excellence, BC was was fortunate to have 6 officials (3 referees and 3 linesmen) represent our Branch at this event.

Something somewhat new to our high performance program is the usage of the various district development camps to identify potential candidates for the BC Cups and our summer High Performance Program. This is proving to be a success as we are identifying stronger candidates for our programs. One of the issues we are facing though is the officials are not paid for the games but in many cases have to pay their own way to get their, if we are to emulate the OPOE we feel as a committee that we may need to adjust our budget to allow for a travel allowance so the officials are not out of pocket.

2010 Female High Performance U 18 Summer Officiating School Attendees We have not selected the officials at this time. Instructors will be Jamie Scriver, Casey Rodusek, and Kayla Keeping

2010 Male High Performance U 17 Summer Officiating School Attendees We have not selected the officials at this time Instructors will be Jeff Ingram, Brett Iverson, and Nick Swaine

LEVEL IV / V UPGRADE SEMINAR There will an upgrade seminar this year and an agenda is being drafted up. We are looking at potentially 5 level V candidates and 15 level IV candidates. Dates for the event are tentatively set for November 12-14, 2010 and will run opposite years to the National level VI seminar.

LEVEL VI This year’s Hockey Canada Level VI seminar was held in November 2009 in Moncton, New Brunswick and BC Hockey’s one delegate was Steve Papp from Kelowna. The WHL had selected BC Hockey official Trevor Hanson from Vancouver as their delegate ensuring BC Hockey had 2 delegates. Both delegates represented BC very well and were in the top of the class in terms of fitness and on-ice performance. Both candidates have achieved level VI status.

ABOVE MINOR (as submitted by Shawn McCaskill) The Above Minor Program continued to develop quality officials under the guidance of our Provincial Supervisor and his team of officiating coordinators.

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Overall felt the year was a success: We managed to get every official in the Above Minor Program supervised at least three times. We implemented a new assigning system for all Above Minor games. This software helped manage the amount of changes due to a number of officials working more than one league.

We hosted an identification/development camp in Kelowna in January that went very well. The WHL and BCHL were in attendance and as a result of this camp, several of the officials in attendance will get an opportunity to move up in the level of hockey they officiated this past season.

Just about every Above Minor playoff game was supervised.

Our goal of development was a large part of our success as we used several new officials throughout JR”B” and MML that had not worked those leagues before. We also managed to compile a large list of names of officials that could work MML/JR’B’ in the near the future. I feel very strongly that the 4 man officiating system will be a great success. The reason for this is due directly to the over whelming success of the recently completed U16 Cup. The 12 young officials that worked that event showed how great of a system it really is and that with hard work, it will only improve our program and the hockey that is played.

SUPERVISIONS BCHL – 9 regular season games (9 playoff games) were supervised, the numbers are lower due to a focus of evaluating officials in the developmental leagues as opposed to seeing the officials work this level of hockey.

KIJHL - 67 regular season games (14 playoff games) supervised which gives almost every official at least two evals. Need to get to East Kootenays.

PIJHL - 94 regular season games (23 playoff games) have been supervised giving all officials at least two evals and most with at least two.

VIJHL - 62 regular season games (17 playoff games) have been supervised giving everyone on the staff at least two evals with most getting three.

MML - 40 regular season games (7 playoff games) have been supervised. It is a little more difficult to see these games as there are only two teams on the Island and the Okanagan. One in the North and one in the Kootenays, so those centres don't get watched very much as we use the same officials as the Junior B leagues so that is where they are getting seen. It is the intention to get more MML games watched now that the 4 man system will be in place.

SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Al Berg, Past President

The Safety and Risk Management Committee has begun to move beyond just the delivery of Hockey Canada programs into looking at the prevention component of risk management. We hope to do this through:

1. Encouraging all team and association risk managers to partake in the risk management seminars held at the BC Hockey AGM.

2. By updating our Team First resource material to aid minor associations with educating parents to become active and positive members within their association.

3. By developing a bullying/hazing education program for players that an association can use as an educational tool.

RISK MANAGAMENT RESOURCES In addition to the Zero Tolerance Policy and Safety Risk Management Manual, BC Hockey will also have articles of interest linked to the Safety Risk Management section of our website. Associations are encouraged to use this portion of the site as a resource.

The SRM Committee has also been approved to circulate a Safety and Risk Management Newsletter quarterly to the BC Hockey Membership. The newsletter contains important safety and risk management information written by Hockey Canada, BC Hockey and SRM Committee members. The newsletter is circulated in the Membership Information Package (MIP) and posted on the Risk Management homepage on the BC Hockey website.

TEAM FIRST BC Hockey has worked closely with the Vancouver Canucks to promote and deliver a Team First Challenge. The goal of the Team First Challenge was to promote the Fair Play codes outlined in the Team First program to parents, players and team staff. Those individuals that read and signed an agreement to the principals of Fair Play were given custom BC Hockey water bottle as well as entered into a draw for an exclusive event at GM Place. The Grand Prize winners took part in a game at GM Place during April of 2010. BC Hockey will run the Team First Challenge again in 2010-11.

HOCKEY CANADA SAFETY PROGRAM 1,591 delegates attended 73 HCSP clinics offered during the 2010-2011 season, and the program remains very strong. Upon an extensive review of what is being done in other branches BC Hockey has moved to a six year certification period for HCSP Level I. The three year half day re-certification is no longer offered. BC Hockey will continue to monitor the program nationally and could potentially build on it in the years to come.

RESPECT IN SPORT / SPEAKOUT! After successful implementation by Sport and , BC Hockey joined a national initiative to implement the Respect in Sport (RIS) educational tool. Certification through Respect in Sport will be the equivalent to certification received when taking the now discontinued Speakout! course.

BC HOCKEY

2009 – 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

RIS is an on-line training course for coaches and sport leaders. It is designed as a tool to assist coaches in identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment and bullying in sport. The on-line course curriculum is broken into six (6), 30 minute module hours to complete and includes audio/visual presentations, quizzes and printable handouts. Another beneficial feature of the program is that it does not need to be done all at once; it can be completed at your leisure

2886 coaches successfully completed the RIS certification program this season with approximately 300 members a various stages of completion. With the overwhelming success of RIS BC Hockey will continue to endorse this educational tool as a replacement for Speak Out!.

INSURANCE Injury Claims – As of March 19, 2010 1041 claims were processed Special Event Sanctions – As of March 19, 2010 1368 were processed Certificates of Insurance – As of March 19, 2010 367 claims were processed

BC Hockey would like to thank all of our SRM Committee members and course conductors for their dedication and commitment in delivering risk management throughout the province.

MIDGET AAA LEAGUES Rick Boekestyn, President

Orientation Meeting: The 2009-2010 Major Midget League staff orientation meeting was held July 19, 2009 at the Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel. Head coaches and team managers congregated to discuss policy and the upcoming season.

Evaluation Camps: The evaluation camps were held over August 7-9 in all zones across the province. The numbers of online registrations per zone camp are as follows:

• Kootenay Ice 54 • Cariboo Cougars 92 • North Island Silvertips 64 • Thompson Blazers 70 • South Island Thunderbirds 50 • Okanagan Rockets 86 • Vancouver Canadians 83 • Vancouver North East Chiefs 79 • Vancouver North West Giants 70 • Fraser Valley Bruins 61 • Valley West Hawks 89

• Grand Total 798 (note – numbers do not include walk-up registrants)

Due to the large number of goaltenders registering for the evaluation camps a separate “goaltender camp” was schedule for the majority of the zones. This allowed evaluators to have a better chance to select goalies to put through to the main camp.

Olympic Broadcast Rehearsal: The Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games gave a great opportunity to BC Hockey to have two Major Midget League teams be a part of an Olympic Broadcast Rehearsal on February 11, 2010 at GM Place.

The Greater Vancouver Canadians and the Vancouver North West Giants were selected to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience being one of the first teams to skate on the Olympic ice sheet. The players were treated as if they were Olympic teams following a strict agenda to represent an actual game. All of the video cameras used in GM Place during the Olympic Games were tested at this rehearsal giving the players and team staff an experience they will not soon forget.

Fraser Valley Bruins Accident: A very unfortunate accident occurred December 11, 2009 when the Fraser Valley Bruins bus went off the road on the way to Prince George. All players and staff were able to stay involved in the Major Midget League with the exception of the Bruins goaltender, Mackenzie Skapski, who received season ending injuries from the accident.

Mackenzie is currently on the road to recovery and is planning to return to hockey for the 2010-2011 season.

All Star Game Weekend / WHL Partnership: The fifth annual Major Midget League All Star Game was held at the Memorial Arena in Kelowna, BC on Friday, January 15, 2010 where more than 500 fans saw Team White tie Team Blue 6-6. This game also included the second annual skills competition which took place between the second and third periods.

The rest of the weekend was a Major Midget League showcase as ten out of the eleven teams were present (one team was on their bye weekend) in Kelowna to play the regular season games. All players were involved in fitness testing and presentations from fitness professionals and Western Hockey League representatives.

A partnership was also announced this weekend between the Western Hockey League and the Major Midget League.
