5. President's Report

Report contained in the Agendas and Reports booklet on pages 8 - 11, which were circulated to membership.

The President indicated that this would be his last official report because he would be stepping down at the end of his term, which expires on June 1, 2020. He praised the volunteers and staff for their commitment to the game especially over the past few months in dealing with the COVID-19 virus and the sudden cancellation of the 2019 – 2020 season.

The President shared his disappointment and the impact that COVID-19 has had on the sporting world but supported the decision to cancel the season and emphasized it was for the safety, well-being and health of our members and the sporting community. He expressed his regret in not being able to say physically goodbye to everyone in person but was nevertheless pleased that we were able to continue to operate albeit not in the usual manner.

However, the President was also pleased to identify some positive highlights of the season, which included the Hockey Canada U18 Women’s Nationals that was hosted in Morden/Winkler in November. Once again the host stepped up and did an exceptional job in showcasing their community and delivered an outstanding tournament performance. The President also looked forward to Manitoba hosting the 2020 Midget Regionals in Virden and the 2020 National Junior A Championship in , however both were victims of the season cancellation. The Midget Regionals has been rescheduled for Virden in 2021 while the Junior A Championship will return in 2023 to Portage.

The President congratulated the successful candidates on their appointment/reappointment to the Board of Directors - Mike Neill (Chair Development), Dale Fossay (Chair Junior), Ray Brethour (Chair Senior), Tony Franklin (Vice President) and Bert Dow (President). The President also thanked Brain Franklin (Past President, Member at Large) and Ken Gladden (Chair, Minor Rural) for their longstanding commitment and service to the game. Both Brian and Ken will not be returning to the Board for the 2020 – 2021 season.

The President expressed his pride in the accomplishments of Hockey Manitoba over his 8 year term and indicated that our organization was a trail blazer in the introduction of a number of initiatives ahead of a number of Provincial Branches, which we all should take pride in achieving.

A few important and memorable achievements that standout are,

• The Hockey Manitoba 100th Anniversary and celebration of our centennial season was indeed impressive and demonstrated the pride, history and excellence of hockey throughout Manitoba. • The forward introduction and ½ concept for novice hockey prior to the large majority of other branches throughout the country demonstrated the progressive thinking and accelerated advancement of hockey in Manitoba. • Acceptance and activation of a new Governance Model 4 years ago to more effectively manage and deliver hockey throughout Manitoba.

The President also made a point to thank Scott Furman, West Regional Director Engagement Department (Hockey Canada) for the 17 years he worked for Hockey Manitoba, as well as, welcoming the four new staff appointments this year – Lauren Osborne (Coordinator, Registration and Support Services), Ezra Ginsburg (Coordinator, Communication), Saxon Miller (Coordinator, Grow the Game) and Jessica Horton (Manager, Operations). All four additions have had a positive impact on the Hockey Manitoba operations and program delivery.

6. Executive Director's Report

Report contained in the Agendas and Reports booklet on pages 11 - 18, which was circulated to membership.

The Executive Director highlighted a few items,

• The Executive Director indicated that he has participated in weekly Sport Manitoba conference calls with the sporting residents of Sport Manitoba during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sport Manitoba has been working with the Provincial Government to develop Return to Play protocols for sports to resume as health restrictions are relaxed. Golf and Tennis have provided protocols for safe play to the province, and were approved to resume under those protocols n phase one of the Restoring Safe Services plan, which was announced on April 19th. No timetable has been provided by the Province for the resumption of any further sports, however no sport activity will be able to proceed until protocols have been submitted to the Province, and reviewed by the Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba. • Hockey Manitoba is in the process of submitting an application for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). Since Hockey Manitoba does not have a payroll number and is not recognized by Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA), Sport Manitoba will be applying on behalf of Hockey Manitoba. Sport Manitoba provides payroll service for all sports. CRA has indicated one payroll number is not unique. • Hockey Manitoba is also exploring options for additional granting opportunities including the Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA). This loan provides $40,000 to small business with payroll between $20,000 - $1,500,000 in 2019. The loan is interest free until December 2022. If it is paid pack in full by December 10, 2022, $10,000 of the loan is forgivable. • Hockey Canada has been hosting regular operations conference calls to update the Executive Directors on the status of COVID-19 with an additional focus on Return to Play and what will be the new normal. We need to be flexible and patient regarding Return to Play. Any Return to Play will be subject to direction from the Provincial Government, Regional Health Authority as well as the Municipal facilities specific to the planning and timing of the installation of the ice. • Hockey Canada recently announced the cancellation of the Wayne Gretzky/Ivan Hlinka U17 tournament that was scheduled for Edmonton/Red Deer in August, as well as, the Hockey Canada Foundation Golf Gala planned to be held in Niagara. Hockey Canada is also reviewing their summer schedule and it is anticipated that over the next week to 10 days they will be announcing all program cancelations until September 1, 2020. This will include all national team programming and camps for the U17 Male, U18, Women and U20 WJC.

7. Financial Report

Report contained in the Agendas and Reports booklet on pages 18 - 21, which was circulated to membership.

The Executive Director outlined the submitted financial report and highlighted a number of areas in the circulated document, which included category variances above or below the approved budget.

2019 - 2020 Projections & 2020 - 2021 Budget

We are circulating the following information to all representatives at the meeting:

• 2019 – 2020 Budget/Projections • 2020 - 2021 Budget • 2019 - 2020 and 2020 – 2021 Notes

As indicated the budget information includes detailed notes on all revenues and expenses, explaining variances for items to assist in the understanding and clarification of our financial forecast, budget process and financial position. We welcome questions during the review on Saturday, and of course at any time moving forward.

We are currently projecting a surplus of ($1,894.42) in 2019 - 2020, with a $10,000 contingency remaining in place. While there are fluctuations in a variety of budgeted areas, as has been the case periodically in the past, unbudgeted funding received from outside sources, particularly Hockey Canada, would typically have the greatest fimpact on the fiscal year, however the finish to the 2019 – 2020 season was anything but a typical year. The cancellation of the 2019 – 2020 season on March 13th reduced our projected revenue by ($613,730) while our corresponding expenses were compressed by ($615,625). This projection is based on information at this time, however we have not yet completed our reconciliation, which may further impact the final figures once we have completed the audit in September of this year.

It is very important to note that we were not required to apply any anticipated transfer of unrestricted funds ($75,000) to offset budget expenses this year that were contained in the approved 2019 – 2020 budget. This in essence has allowed us not to deplete any of our reserves, thereby providing us the ability to positively maintain our current portfolio balance.

Overall revenues for 2019 - 2020 are projected to be ($2,631,619) while expenses are projected at ($2,629,725).

The submitted 2020 - 2021 budget is balanced as per branch policy, and as communicated at the Semi Annual Meeting, includes no Hockey Manitoba membership fee increases. However, with rising costs and the challenging and expected residual from the aftermath of the COVID-19 a number of necessary changes are being proposed in order to achieve a balanced 2020 – 2021 budget.

The Budget Notes document provided a more in depth look at all revenues and expenses. The Executive Director outlined a number of key items, outlined during Assembly, are as follows:

• ($75,000) transferred in from our unrestricted fund balance (current balance is $541,215.42), NOT including any anticipated surplus from 2020 - 2021) • Investment of ($25,000) in Grassroots Development Funding Grants (continue program from last year) • Projected 10% reduction in minor hockey membership retention due to COVID-19 and the possibility of a

5

delayed Return to Play • Retention of full WHL development fees previously split 50/50 with the players last registered team and Hockey Manitoba • In person Season Opener interruption/paused for the 2020 – 2021 • Adjusted budgeted amounts in areas such as Grow the Game initiatives, Grassroots Goaltender Development, Coach and Officials Mentorship/Support, Best in Class Development programs, etc.

Overall revenues and expenses for 2020 - 2021 are respectively presented at ($3,019,830) ($3,019,484) effectively imparting a balance budget.

We remain on target entering the 2nd year of a 5-year strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2019. These priorities serve as the foundation for organizational structure and allocation of resources to ensure we spend or invest in areas that will have the greatest impact to our membership. We have also aligned our strategic plan with Hockey Canada's where possible. As we move forward, we will always look to our strategic plan as the guiding document when making decisions.

Despite the challenges we encountered the past season due to the early termination of the season, we have been fortunate in that we have received funding from outside sources not necessarily planned for, or have managed to mitigate costs in various areas. This has resulted in an approx. ($230,000) operating surplus over the past three years not including this year. What remains key is to ensure we begin to use our surplus funds wisely and discussions will remain ongoing (i.e. Use of Surplus Funds).

As we consider a more long term outlook over the next 4 or 5 years, despite the potential for required membership fee increases at some point, our goal, which we believe is attainable, is to cover most of our costs annually through our operating budget, while making use of a limited share of our unrestricted surplus funds in meeting strategic priorities, supported by our membership and approved by the Board of Directors. We will also work hard to obtain additional revenue sources (sponsorship, advertising, fundraising, retail, events, grants).

Investments

Our current overall investment balance as of March 31, 2020 is ($777,303). All of the branch's GICs are now held with Assiniboine Credit Union (ACU), and we have managed to increase our interest revenues through higher rates over the past year. The Admin & Finance Committee and Senior Staff will review and make the necessary re-investment decisions on behalf of our organization. It should be noted that approx. 85% of our investment value is allocated to branch internally restricted funds including Heritage Fund, Legacy Fund, Building Fund, Contingency Fund, Risk & Safety Fund and Mentorship Fund.

Sponsorship

We continue to enjoy ongoing successful Official Partner agreements with Canad Inns, CCM Hockey, Play it Again and Cargill Ltd., Cargill Ltd. renewed there sponsorship for an additional 3 year term in February, while negotiations with Canad Inns and CCM remain ongoing but have been unfortunately interrupted due to COVID-19. Although Hockey Manitoba enjoys a very positive relations with both CCM and Canad Inns it is difficult to predict the renewal outcome at this stage until we have a better idea when hockey will return to play in 2020 – 2021. We also continue to maintain strong partnerships with the Western Hockey League, Manitoba Moose, MB Hockey Hall of Fame, Esdale Printing, Budweiser, MTS Iceplex, Aaltos, Tavern United, among others. Our sponsorship revenue is fairly stable and

6 with additional assets and opportunities moving forward we should reach approx. $102,000 in annual revenues this fiscal year.

Grassroots Support

Hockey Manitoba outlined a commitment to grassroots hockey at the 2017 Season Opener, and we were moderately pleased with the success of the funding program this year. Most of the applications submitted were approved, and a total of approx. ($20,000) was granted to various Minor Hockey Associations across the province for grassroots and goaltender hockey development initiatives. Hockey Manitoba is committing ($25,000) in funding support this year through our Development Legacy Fund, and information will be forwarded to everyone in mid-June.

The Executive Director thanked Bonnie Lawson for her commitment and diligence in helping to manage the Branch Finances, as well as all staff, the Board of Directors, Council Representatives and the thousands of dedicated volunteers across Manitoba that contribute countless hours for the betterment of the game. We also fondly remember those that we have lost over the past year.

8. Hockey Development Report

Report contained in the Agendas and Reports booklet on page 22 - 24, which was circulated to membership.

The Director, Development highlighted a few items,

• Following the Semi-Annual Meetings the Coaching program turned its focus to the High Performance 1 and Development 1 written assignments and field evaluations. Of the 35 Coaches that attended the 2019 High Performance 1 seminar in July 2019, 30 completed the online evaluations and submitted their written assignments. The submission deadline for the written assignments was November 30, 2019. Several coaches were granted deadline extensions due to extenuating circumstances. Of the 30 assignments submitted 29 received passing grades and moved onto the final stage of the High Performance 1 certification process, the field evaluations. Considering many of the assignments were submitted and marked before the New Year it allowed the opportunity for some to schedule their field evaluations in the second-half of the season. Eight coaches completed their field evaluations, all of which passed and therefore completed the entirety of their High Performance 1 certification. These Coaches are now considered “Certified” in High Performance 1 and must shift their focus to certification maintenance as part of Hockey Canada and the Coaching Association of Canada’s (CAC) effort to promote continuous learning amongst high performance Coaches. There was also an emphasis on evaluating outstanding High Performance 1 Coaches from years past. We identified 12 Coaches that belong to this group and managed to evaluate 5 of them this season. This will be an on-going process as we want all High Performance 1 Coaches to have the opportunity to be evaluated. Hockey Canada and the CAC classify Development 1 Coaches as high performance Coaches, meaning they too must also go through the field evaluation process. This season we were able to evaluate 9 Development 1 Coaches. This initiative will continue to be an emphasis for the Coaching program moving forward and we hope to see this number grow next season.

• In light of the situation surrounding COVID-19, planning for the 2020 clinic season will resume as normal. Regions have been contacted directly regarding local facilitator recruitment in order to better serve the province. If members are aware of any candidates for the clinic facilitator position they are encouraged to notify Erikson. The plan is also to begin scheduling clinic dates. We realize this may be a difficult task to

7

accomplish considering the level of uncertainty with facilities but these conversations need to be held. As we did last season, proposed dates will be sent to your Regional representatives in the coming months. In the event in-person clinics are deemed unsafe, alternative options will be explored.

• After a very successful first full season with the Hockey Canada mandated Novice Half Ice program, we have received more good feedback on improvements to the Novice Half Ice program. We will look to see how the Atom Season structure rolls out next fall.

• With the recent developments and the cancellation of the remainder of the 2019 - 2020 season, three of our four major development programs were outright cancelled. The Directors Cup Prospects, Female Peewee Prospects and Rising Stars Plus program and tournaments have been under review for some time now and a new direction will be discussed at this meeting. We hope with some potential changes going forward we will be able to continue providing top quality programming to our athletes and coaches.

• The Male U16 POE Top-116 Selection had occurred and athletes were invited (based on our scouting reports). Since the cancellation of the season we have had several staff calls about possible selection camps, etc. Without any definitive start up dates we have explored a number of scenarios and await word on what can be executed to select our team. Both the U16 and U18 Female POE Spring Camps were cancelled due to COVID-19 with the cancellation coming prior to invitations being sent out. The U18 coaching staff has been meeting every two weeks for calls and re-evaluating the direction going forward. As soon as we are given the go ahead a new camp/program structure will be rolled out for 2020 and we will get back to running top level female high performance programming in Manitoba.

• With the season ending early this year we were disappointed to miss out on some development opportunities for officials but are pleased with the events, programs and initiatives we were able to run in the shortened season. One in particular is the on ice Atom mentorship operated by the Pembina Valley (PV) and Westman South (WS) regions this season, this was the third season for PV and first season for WS. For young officials just starting an official’s coach was placed on the ice to help build more confidence and to help answer any questions young officials may have. The coach is not to call penalties but only act as a mentor for the officials. It’s designed so that young officials don't let the mentor take over the game by calling penalties but by being encouraged when making calls, and talking with coaches.

• During the clinic season an emphasis was put on the idea of “how are we able to engage more clinic attendees”. With the help of the ODC we have attempted more engagement seeking more questions from all those that have attended. This was done in hopes of having more officials prepared when they start their first few games.

• Hockey Manitoba also ran a level 4 - 5 upgrade clinic in Winnipeg during early September. This clinic is designed to introduce new officials to the high performance section of our official’s development. The upgrade clinic is a weekend highlighted with speakers addressing topics such as conflict management, dealing with stress, and nutrition. There was also on ice sessions to work on skating technique along with classroom sessions studying the rulebook. We saw over 25 officials selected and attended on the weekend.

• While identifying young promising officials is expected throughout the year, our two major tournaments are the Bantam AAA Showcase and Female Showcase in October and December. Hockey Manitoba asks

8

regions to nominate and send officials to Winnipeg for the weekends. While in Winnipeg the officials are given games to officiate, supervisions and mentorships and also classroom time allowing them to grow and have a better understanding of what they need to improve and become “elite” officials. Once the weekends have completed the goal of the program is to follow up with the officials to see how they are developing and progressing.

• Throughout the season supervisions are occurring throughout the province in each region. Local mentorships are taking place as well as trying to identify elite prospect officials in hopes of reaching the highest levels.

• For female hockey events hosted by Hockey Manitoba, we made an effort to assign and schedule more young female officials to work the games and to be supervised by high level female officials.

• With the season cut short, one new initiative we were unable to run was the male and female Bantam AAA Provincials. Introduced this season we asked regions to nominate potentially future high performance officials to work the weekend games. Officials would be supervised and instructed on their strengths and weaknesses and areas for improvement. This weekend will hopefully run in future seasons to award young promising officials who have been recognized and earned a spot in the high performance officials program.
