These are very strange times with this pandemic passing through, so please be patient as we try to Zoom our way through the Annual Meeting. We'll deal with Council Meetings earlier in the week. Assemblies and budgeting process will be talked through on Saturday. Along with their regular day to day duties, our staff has again guided us through another very busy and exciting season. A huge thank you goes to our Hockey Manitoba staff members, board members and the hundreds of volunteers throughout this province who put in countless hours providing services to our membership. These groups unselfishly commit an enormous amount of time making the "game" better for our membership. We continue partnerships with Cargill, WHL, MJHL, Sport MB, Canad Inns, Hockey Canada, Reebok/CCM, Scotiabank and others. These corporate sponsorships have provided us with over $100,000. Partnerships provide exposure and benefits to our branch. Again this year our branch marketing has been headed up by Scott, until he took a job with Hockey Canada in their Branch Engagement Department. Jessica has taken on some of Scott's responsibilities in the office. We welcome Jessica to the Hockey Manitoba team. Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders continues to be accessed by Hockey Manitoba members with support from Sport Manitoba. This program continues to be provided at no cost to our membership thanks to Sport Manitoba. Most other provinces pay Hockey Canada to access this program. The Respect in Sport Parent Program continues to be very important with the education of parents. Scott Furman left Hockey Manitoba after 17 years of service. He was hired by Hockey Canada to be a part of the Branch Engagement group. Scott will be in charge of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC and Hockey North. A very large part of Canada. We know that Scott will do a great job for Hockey Canada. He'll be missed by all of us. His knowledge and experience is hard to pass on. We wish him well in his new job. Our own Hockey Manitoba governance continues to work well. It continues to be a work in progress with small changes being made to help us serve our membership better. Our Hockey Manitoba website continues to receive numerous compliments. This site is very attractive and user friendly. Hats off to the staff for the work they do with this valuable communication tool. As well, as times change, the staff keeps the Hockey Manitoba news updated on the social media sites. Hockey Manitoba has funds available for regions and associations to apply "to grow the game at the grass roots level" for both male and female. We encourage the regions to take the time and effort to promote the game and access some of these dollars. Bob Caldwell was back again this year to head up our Coach Mentorship program. Thanks to Bob and Bernie for organizing these very valuable, free coach instruction sessions. Breakfast Clubs are staying around 30. There are around 20 schools running skills academies throughout the province. Hockey Manitoba U16 male team competed in a tournament in early November in Calgary. The U18 female team competed in the Canadian Championship tournament in Morden & Winkler. Congratulations to the players that comprised our Hockey Manitoba teams, and a big thank you to the coaching staff and management for these teams and representing Manitoba very well. Also a big Hockey Manitoba thank you to the Morden & Winkler committees and volunteers for putting in the time and effort to host the U18 Female Canadian Championship. A job well done!!! Every year we have Manitobans enjoying success with our Hockey Canada teams. Being such a weird year with the virus, some of the year end tournaments won't be held. Congratulations to the Manitobans that competed in the U18 8 and U22 female tourneys, U17 and U18 male tournaments, as well as the World Junior Championship and the Spengler Cup. Brenda & I were fortunate enough to travel to the Czech Republic to take in the World Juniors this year. We left on December 23rd and arrived home on January 7th. We had some great tours on our days off, we were with around 3000 other crazy Canucks over there. And to top it all off we won gold. I'd recommend this trip to any hockey fan that would like to see a bit of Europe at the same time. We missed out on our last weekend of provincials because of COVID-19 and Hockey Canada suspending, and then cancelling, the 2019-20 season. All provinces followed suit. Peter and I were involved in a number of conference calls with Hockey Canada preceding the ultimate decision to cancel. Thank you to the associations and their volunteers that were able to host provincials this year. And we're truly sorry that the 10 associations that were totally prepared for hosting provincial tourneys on the mid-March weekend, were not able to carry on with the tournaments. I know a lot of work goes into these in preparations and hopefully we'll all get back to a new normal soon. Harvey Nichol was our Director of Officiating this year. The officiating program continues to be improved. Thanks to all officials for helping out at clinics, evaluations and mentoring. Thank you to all the on ice officials as well. The game can't be played without you. Good job! Along with the sponsorship of Scotiabank, we hosted the Female Hockey Festival at the IcePlex again this year. Around 1500 females take part. Thanks to our office staff, board members and volunteers that helped out to make this successful event possible. Again this season, we had some challenges to work on: cooperation of minor hockey with high school and sport schools, both male and female. coach deficiencies retention and attraction of participants and volunteers Novice half ice with teams wanting to travel to US or SK to play full ice. Hopefully this is the last season we hear of this parents and coaches being suspended or removed from their hockey privileges. Challenges and changes are always difficult but pulling together will end up in positive results that will benefit our entire membership.
