O. Box 176, Grand Falls-Windsor, NL A2A 2J4 Tel: (709) 489-5512 Fax: (709) 489-2273 www.hockeynl.ca Semi-Annual General Meeting September 16-18, 2016 Page 2 The Electronic Certificate Process for facilities is now active through a web-based program. The link for this web-based program will be released to all Associations. The Bauer First Shift program information is available on Hockey NL’s website via the link www.thefirstshift.ca. The First Shift is a learn-to-play program, provided by Bauer Hockey in conjunction with Hockey Canada, that allows kids to easily try the sport in a convenient, affordable and fun way. This six- week program is for kid’s ages 6-10 who have never played and is $199, which includes enrollment and head-to-toe BAUER equipment. The program is designed to break down the barriers to entry, creating a welcoming environment for new-to-hockey families, and delivering a program that is accessible, affordable, safe and most importantly, fun! With a commitment by Bauer and Hockey Canada to a multi year strategy to grow the game by increasing participation, Craig said this is a great opportunity for Associations. However, application and registration is slow. He asked Associations to promote this program. In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, Hockey Canada has plans underway to fund a “National Try Hockey Day” in 2017. Once the details are announced, Craig encouraged Associations to participate in that day. Craig gave an update on Team Hub indicating that Team Hub is now pre- loaded with minor hockey rosters! This new feature allows registered head coaches to import team rosters from the Hockey Canada Registry, making team set-up easier than ever.
