Volunteers are the foundation of Hockey Manitoba. Without volunteers, who dedicate hundreds of hours to minor hockey associations, leagues and regional activities, we would not be able to offer the numerous programs and competitions that we provide for our membership. We continue to acknowledge our volunteers through our “Volunteer of the Month” programs, and certainly encourage you to nominate deserving individuals in your respective communities. On behalf of Hockey Manitoba, I would like to thank all hockey volunteers for their unselfish commitment to growing the game. As an organization, we are committed to the development of amateur hockey and creating mean- ingful hockey experiences and opportunities for thousands of members throughout our province. Hockey development programs are a focal point of Hockey Manitoba. Player, coach and on-ice of- ficials development committees, again made up of tireless volunteers, work extremely hard to ensure their successful delivery. Program of Excellence opportunities exist for our midget aged male and female players, as well as coaches and on-ice officials. In addition, we have the U-16 Male, Direc- tors’ Cup, Regional Development squads, Hockey Canada Skills camps, Esso Fun Days and Chevy Safe and Fun clinics that provide developmental opportunities for our younger athletes. Hockey Manitoba also offers certification, re-certification, supervision and mentorship for our game officials as well as specialty clinics for our coaches. Coach certification, training and mentorship are also a high priority for the branch. Hockey Manitoba is pleased to recognize official partners, Awards and More, Canad Inns and Reebok/ CCM. We are also pleased to announce that Cargill Ltd. will once again be the official sponsor of our Minor Provincial Championships for the 2012 - 13 hockey season. In addition to these championships and along with the Hockey Winnipeg minor playoffs, Hockey Manitoba is excited to see the continuation of the “AAA” male and female program. A number of corresponding showcase events are scheduled throughout the season. It is also great to see the Midget “AAA” Female provincial league preparing to operate for their second season. In April 2013, the Keystone Cup, Western Canadian Junior “B” Championship will be hosted by St. Malo. Hockey fans will definitely have the opportunity to watch excellent hockey action at all levels and age groups this season. I am very proud to have the opportunity to serve as your President and I will strive to keep our branch a strong, vibrant and progressive organization. Enjoy the benefits of membership - work hard, play fair and most importantly - HAVE FUN! Have a great season, Bill Whitehead Constitution, Regulations & Rules of Competition v HOCKEY MANITOBA 2012-2013 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Phone Fax PRESIDENT Bill Whitehead, Box 152, Roland, MB R0G 1T0 343-2292 343-2292 e-mail: [email protected] PAST PRESIDENT Brian Franklin, Box 35 Deloraine, 747-2969 747-3970 MB R0M 0M0 e-mail: [email protected] VICE-PRESIDENT Dale Fossay, RR1, Starbuck, MB R0G 2P0 735-2317 735-2317 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR OF FINANCE Tony Franklin, Box 195 Deloraine, MB R0M 0M0 747-2279 747-3251 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR OF SENIOR MALE HOCKEY Ray Brethour, PO Box 471, 764-2014 764-2912 Hamiota, MB R0M 0T0 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR OF JUNIOR ‘A’ HOCKEY Kim Davis, 14 Shorecrest Drive, 488-1227 488-1119 Winnipeg, MB R3P 1N2 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR OF JUNIOR ‘B’ HOCKEY Jerry Maryniuk, Box 916 Arborg, MB R0C 0A0 376-2033 376-2033 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR – RURAL MINOR WEST ZONE Ken Gladden, Box 358, Gillam, MB R0B 0L0 652-5578 652-5197 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR – RURAL MINOR EAST ZONE Bert Dow, 19 Francis Drive, 384-7332 Morden, MB R6M 1R6 email: [email protected] 888-792-2724 vi Constitution, Regulations & Rules of Competition Phone Fax PRESIDENT, HOCKEY WINNIPEG Don McIntosh, 2 Orchard Lane, 256-8528 784-5450 Winnipeg, MB R2J 3C5 e-mail: [email protected] CHAIR OF JUNIOR/SENIOR FEMALE HOCKEY Kirk Kuppers, 126 Wordsworth Way, 837-5205 Winnipeg, MB R3K 0K4 e-mail: [email protected] DIRECTORS SENIOR AAA TBD SENIOR A Glen Tosh, Box 1417, 720-6888 726-1378 Souris, MB R0K 2C0 e-mail: [email protected] SENIOR B David Kirkup, Box 326, 483-3448 483-2203 Souris, MB R0K 2C0 e-mail: [email protected] SENIOR C TBD 422-8088 878-3614 SENIOR D Ryan Lawson, 2221 9th Street, 728-8228 728-8228 Brandon, MB R7A 7S7 e-mail: [email protected] HIGH SCHOOL Morris Glimcher, 145 Pacific Ave, 925-5641 925-5624 Winnipeg MB R3B 2Z6 e-mail: [email protected] JUNIOR ‘A’ TBA JUNIOR ‘OA’ (MMJHL) Jack Van Dam, 32 Clydesdale Drive, 663-2614 East St. Paul, MB R2E 0G6 e-mail: [email protected] Constitution, Regulations & Rules of Competition vii Phone Fax JUNIOR ‘B’ Rod Gluck, Box 348, 389-4713 389-3815 Sandy Hook, MB R0C 2W0 e-mail: [email protected] JUNIOR ‘C’ Elmer Toews, 70 Coral Crescent, 371-6318 746-8961 Steinbach, MB R5G 2E3 e-mail: [email protected] FEMALE – SENIOR Kathy Owen, 50 Alex Taylor Drive, 283-7243 Winnipeg, MB R2C 4R1 e-mail: [email protected] FEMALE – JUNIOR Linda Benson, 39 Willowood Rd, 694-1958 Winnipeg, MB R2P 2M4 e-mail: [email protected] DIRECTORS OF MINOR HOCKEY BRANDON Glen Parker, 42 Cedar Bay, 727-4161 727-4026 Brandon, MB R7B 0Z4 e-mail: [email protected] CENTRAL PLAINS Darren Frank, Box 99, 267-2421 267-2356 Oakville, MB R0H 0Y0 e-mail: [email protected] EASTMAN Reynold Loewen, Box 3157, 326-6640 320-9731 Steinbach, MB R5G 1P5 e-mail: [email protected] INTERLAKE Kris Barrett, Box 388, 372-8492 372-6730 Fisher Branch, MB R0C 0Z0 e-mail: [email protected] NORMAN Ron LaRocque, Box 1154, 623-2534 623-2886 The Pas, MB R9A 1L2 e-mail: [email protected] PARKLAND Dave Bayduza, Box 90, 657-2369 657-2392 Fox River, MB R0L 0V0 e-mail: [email protected] viii Constitution, Regulations & Rules of Competition Phone Fax PEMBINA VALLEY Jim Mutcheson, 241-3rd St., 822-5013 822-4739 Morden, MB R6M 1P2 e-mail: [email protected] WESTMAN SOUTH Gord Agnew, PO Box 335, 858-2097 858-2721 Hartney, MB R0M 0X0 email: [email protected] YELLOWHEAD Bruce Coulter, Box 135, 764-2360 764-3658 Hamiota, MB R0M 0T0 e-mail: [email protected] HOCKEY WINNIPEG Russ Cassidy, 67 Killington Bay, 667-3996 Winnipeg, MB R2G 2Y4 e-mail: [email protected] MINOR VICE-DIRECTORS BRANDON Sharon Lilley, E-315 College Avenue, 726-3550 727-4026 Brandon, MB R7A 1E7 e-mail: [email protected] BRANDON FEMALE Ramona Coey, 101 Waterloo Cr, 727-7959 727-7959 Brandon, MB R7B 3X7 e-mail: [email protected] CENTRAL PLAINS Angus Moar, 46-17th St.
