Handbook 2009-2010 Handbook 2009-2010 CONSTITUTION, DIRECTORY, BY-LAWS, REGULATIONS, POLICIES, AWARDS AND HISTORY As amended to June 21, 2009 BC Hockey Handbook 2009-2010 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As we move forward towards the 2009 – 10 hockey season and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, our sport will once again take centre stage internationally. There will be many opportunities in all communities across BC to enhance the game of hockey, but there will be many challenges, especially in the lower mainland, that will affect programming in the branch. To this end we will all need to be patient as we try to take advantage of these opportunities, while continuing to deliver quality programming and hosting our provincial championships. We will continue to use our strategic plan as a guide as we develop new Rick Boekestyn programming and introduce new initiatives President that we believe will help us service our membership. One such initiative will be the move to achieve “Speak Out!” Certification on-line. This program will be delivered through the “Respect in Sport” initiative offered through Hockey Canada’s e-learning programming. We are excited by this move and hope that you will help by being patient as we tackle any hurdles that may occur. As an Executive Committee we are in the midst of a governance review, and will continue to look at changes in governance that will help this organization be more efficient, and allow us to get the most out of our volunteers. My thanks to the Executive for their hard work in the past and future. With the help of the best staff in hockey, I look forward to working with this group we continue to work on your behalf. Hockey is a game of emotion and continues to offer great opportunity in teaching our youth essential life skills that I believe prepare them as they journey through adulthood. I have seen first hand the effect that this game has on those involved, most positive some not so. We must remember that we are responsible for what we do within our game, and it is responsibility to give back as much as we take out. We have a great army of volunteers, whom without we could not continue to deliver this game to our participants. From the coach, parent, 50/50 seller, manager, administrator, and on and off ice officials, you all play an important role in BC Hockey. My thanks, and let’s have a great season.

It is also important that we remind ourselves of the incredible contributions of the tireless volunteers and dedicated staff whose efforts make this great game possible. The past 100 years of hockey in BC and the Yukon have left an indelible mark on the lives of all participants. Our past experiences and commitment in keeping hockey the greatest sport in Canada will continue to guide us in the future. Chair of the Board Bill Greene We will celebrate this memorable occasion with many activities planned throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. The 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship being held in Victoria and Vancouver in December 2018 and January 2019 will bring together excited participants, volunteers and hockey fans, and ‘Celly’, our recently unveiled mascot will be on the guest list as an added bonus to many scheduled events. In addition to the Road to World Junior Championship School Tour that kicks off this October and visits many communities across BC. Together there is nothing we cannot accomplish. Our goal will be to continue to implement decisions that ensure our programming is based on current data with a direct connection to the national Long Term Player Development Model. This will improve the athletic skills of our players and provide clear direction for our coaches, bench staff and officials.

Once again, we look forward to leading, developing and promoting our members towards many more accomplishments in the coming year. The hard work and dedication of the thousands of volunteers across the province continues to provide the foundation of our programming. I trust our volunteers realize it is impossible to celebrate and honor everyone’s dedication sufficiently but as we begin our preparations for the coming season it is easy to reflect on how gifted we are by your contribution. We will be embarking on a very exciting journey this year. The approved modern governance structure intends to serve all our members in a more efficient and effective manner. It is our primary goal to be more nimble in meeting our membership’s needs and effectively plan for the future in cooperation with all Districts, MHAs and Above Minor members, Programs and game Randy Henderson partners. We have immensely diverse and unique needs across the branch and we must work Chair of the Board towards solutions to meet these evolving demands. In cooperation with Hockey Canada, we will strive to meet these needs. BC Hockey is particularly proud to have our partnership with the Vancouver Canucks. Their initiative in launching and maintaining the “Sportsmanship Starts in the Stands” initiative will improve the experience for everyone associated with Hockey. This game and rink management tool should enable all associations to educate their members about expectations and provide tools for the ongoing maintenance of hockey throughout the branch.
