It has been another year of full of new initiatives for BC Hockey, with developmental steps in the areas of sponsorship, midget hockey, electronic registration, and volunteer development. Work continues within the Strategic five-year plan with our Operational Plan now complete and action plans are being developed prior to next season. Our financial position continues to remain stable and our direction continues to improve. The 2006-2007 season benefited from our outstanding volunteer contributions. These volunteers continue to ensure that our participants are provided with the positive experiences and opportunities. Our Championships program was full of excitement and we were proud to see not only provincial but also national opportunities at various skill levels. Again all of our minor teams were proudly awarded and the events were well received. It was our pleasure to host the RBC Royal Bank Cup in Prince George and nearly have our own Host Team capture the National title while the Vancouver Giants of our Major Midget League represented the Province with class at the TELUS Cup in Red Deer finishing fourth. As a branch, BC Hockey continues to lead the Country in areas of registration and technology. There is no debate that electronic carding has improved the efficiency and accuracy of registration and carding. Our branch should be extremely proud for the “paving the way”. Nationally, other branches are inquiring about our methods and seeking to make this administrative jump. We will strive to work with Hockey Canada on further improvements for the future. With that, we would like to outline some registration achievements from last season: • 1291Interbranch Transfers Processed on the HCR – 580 Outgoing, 711 Incoming • 1857 Inter Association Transfers Processed • “Card” approval for 551 Carded Teams (with affiliates) done on the HCR • “Carding” deadlines for eligibility and cut-down dates were better met by using the online system • All registration reporting and billing was done through the HCR reports section. We also succeeded in several other areas of technology to assist with communication to all of our Members: • A new BC Hockey website was launched with an improved look and expanded content • BC Hockey website development continues with a focus on improved communication and design • Championship scoring was reconfigured to allow for input of scores and game notes by on-site BC Hockey volunteers • Continuation of online consoles and forms with new forms being added to allow members to complete much of their branch business online • A new BC Major Midget League site was launched with real-time score updating and statistics • Female online training diary is entering it’s third season • Data servers have been upgraded at the BC Hockey office to provide more reliable, faster and higher data capacities then was previously available 2 BC HOCKEY 2006 – 2007 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REPORTS • In house backup system as been implemented to provide high capacity data protection • Upgraded mail server now handles close to one and a half million electronic mail messages annually Partnerships with groups such as the BC Government, 2010 Legacies Now, the BC Gaming Corporation, Vancouver Island Health Authority, the Vancouver Canucks and corporate sponsors continued to enhance our programming opportunities over the course of the 2006-2007 season and further appear to be encouraging for future seasons. BC Hockey’s development programming and program personnel continue to provide the best possible experiences for all participants within our Membership.
