1 Handbook CONSTITUTION, DIRECTORY, BY-LAWS, REGULATIONS, POLICIES, AWARDS AND HISTORY As amended to June 26, 2011

2 BC Hockey Handbook PRESIDENT S MESSAGE We, at BC Hockey, are looking forward to the hockey season. We anticipate new changes and challenges which will contribute to the growth of the game and opportunities for the participants. Shannon Bell President In an effort to grow the game, Hockey Canada s Board of Directors endorsed six new priorities of focus for the upcoming season in August. These priorities are also intended to meet the expectations of today s stakeholders. Sports Schools and Canadian Interuniversity Sport leagues are expanding across the country. Private Minor hockey programs that are operating outside of Hockey Canada continue to grow. Entrepreneurs are interested in providing development programs for players and officials. Accordingly, relationships with these entities are being encouraged. Opportunities for shorter seasons to accommodate participation in hockey and other sports are to be addressed and/or created. Noncontact streams as a viable and credible participatory program to address head and other injury concerns are encouraged. Lastly, create mechanisms that will facilitate flexibility in player movement to reflect the needs of the modern player and family. The six priorities of focus will require change in both the way we play the game and how we do things. BC Hockey prides itself in being a leader in hockey across the country. As such, we have already implemented procedures to address many of Hockey Canada s six priorities, particularly in the area of safety and risk management. This past season, head injuries in hockey was the subject of much media attention, from minor leagues to the NHL and IIHF. To ensure member awareness of this very serious subject, safety and risk management was the focus of our June AGM in Penticton. The information and data provided by the keynote speaker on head injuries/ concussions and body checking was profound. As a result, BC Hockey was asked to consider eliminating body checking at Pee Wee and below. We will be looking at body checking as a whole and encourage all districts to have this same discussion. Hockey Canada has listed the formation of non-contact leagues as one of its priorities. A District has already been proactive by adopting a no body-checking policy at the recreational level while another already offers non-checking leagues at the same category as an alternative to body checking leagues. President Woodrow Wilson once said, If you want to make enemies, try to change something. To the contrary, BC Hockey s membership has shown a willingness to accept and even embrace change, particularly if it is based on sound rationale and is in the best interests of the players. We wish everyone a great season! Shannon Bell, BC Hockey President ii

129 BC Hockey Policies BC Hockey Policy Expectation of Coaches/Team Officials Those individuals accepting the position of coach do so knowing that they become the most important individual to the Team. By leadership the coach establishes a model that players will use to mold a significant portion of their attitude toward the game. This fact is especially true in minor hockey where players are in the formative years of their life. Therefore, coaches or other Team Officials that circumvent the rules and regulations as established by hockey s governing bodies must be dealt with severely. Because in doing so these individuals are not only expressing their attitude toward the game but are molding the attitudes of the players surrounding them. Following are a few points that Team Officials must keep in mind: 1) Abusive language by any Team member is not tolerated. The adults must set the standards and the controls. 2) Do not allow any abuse of Officials. 3) The official game report is in fact the official record of the contest. The coach must make sure that the information recorded on the game sheet is correct before signing. 4) Know the eligibility of all Team members. Ensure that members have all been properly carded or suspensions fully served before playing them. 5) Make sure games, Tournaments or other events are properly sanctioned before entering. 6) Know the procedure for registering any complaints. For any action to result concerns must be properly channeled. 7) See refer to the BC Hockey Guide for Hockey Administration for the Code of Ethics for travelling teams. 127

130 BC Hockey Policies ) The use of any alcohol or drugs will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty will be subject to suspension. To help recognize outstanding coaching contributions the BC Hockey has established The Ernie Gare Coach of the Year award. Coaches who exemplify the ideals of fair play, fun, friendship and development are candidates for this award. Forward names and pertinent materials to the BC Hockey office. Deadline is April 15th. Awarded at the BC Hockey Annual General Meeting. 128

131 BC Hockey Policies BC Hockey Policy Expectations of Referees Referees and Linesmen have a very important role to play in the game of ice hockey. They must apply the rules in a knowledgeable and consistent manner, from the opening face-off, to the final buzzer. Only when officials have been able to influence the players to avoid violations, will the final outcome be decided by skill and team effort. Respect for an official is earned by officiating hockey games. It matters not what your HCOP level may be, BUT, how you handle the game on the ice. Points to Consider: 1. Do you have pride in your appearance? 2. Do you have a positive attitude about your role as an official? 3. Do you strive to improve your skating and positional skills? 4. Can you communicate with players in stressful circumstances? 5. Do you apply the rules and guidelines consistently? 6. Do you command respect or do you impose control? 7. Do you exercise firm, but friendly, control in altercation situations? 8. Do you show interest and support for your fellow officials, as well as the minor officials? 9. Can you always say, I did my best? The game of ice hockey is highly competitive, and can be stressful, but a competent official should never tolerate abusive language or actions to mar an otherwise enjoyable hockey game. BC Hockey expects a high standard of deportment and conduct by our officials, and only by fine example can they realistically expect others to follow. 129

132 BC Hockey Policies As a final reminder, we would like to have all officials frequently review their Game Report and Match Penalty procedures. Only when the officials have adequately reported the circumstances of a penalty situation to the proper BC Hockey executive member for action, in a clear concise manner, will they, your executive, be able to support you in applying the rules. 130
