    Handbook 2020-2021 CONSTITUTION, DIRECTORY, BYLAWS, REGULATIONS, AWARDS AND HISTORY As amended to September 19, 2020 BC Hockey Handbook 2020-2021 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD I want to acknowledge we are on the unceded and traditional territories of many Indigenous people throughout BC and Yukon. BC Hockey honours the traditional lands and homelands of all Indigenous peoples and communities across Canada, including First Nations, Inuit and Métis I’d also like to recognize all BC Hockey’s life members and thank them for their tireless dedication to all who play our great game. In the Spring of 2020, we were forced to pause hockey because of the COVID-19 Chair of the Board pandemic. At the same time the BC Bill Greene Hockey Board of Directors recognized there was a need for a significant reset and change in the operation of BC Hockey moving into the future. This change meant a complete re-evaluating of our current practices, with the common goal of improving our organization. From the information you provided to the Board of Directors we began rebuilding our organization from the ground up. Much work has been done and we still have more work to do. The Board has reached out to many stakeholders that included Minor Hockey Associations, Builders, and Life Members to help guide us into what we refer to as the “New BC Hockey”. COVID-19 forced changes to all aspects of life and hockey was no exception. Never in the history of our organization have we been forced to deal with a pandemic.
