8 PLATE PAYOFF $900,000 thus far for Mass Hockey Photo Courtesy of Sports Action Photography In December of 1999, Stephen F. Lynch (then a state senator) and Boston Bruins President Harry Sinden joined Mass Hockey President Dan Esdale at South Boston s Murphy Rink to announce the filing of a bill in the Massachusetts legislature to create a new license plate to benefit Mass Youth Hockey. Following his election to the United States Congress, Steve Lynch continued to push for the bill s passage. Finally in 2002, Congressman Lynch, Harry Sinden, along with Senator Guy Glodis, Senator Jack Hart, and Rep. Marty Walsh prevailed and the Boston Bruins/Invest in Youth Hockey license plate was on the road. In the past seasons the money received from the plate sales have been spent on Mass hockey s Grassroots programs. The funds were distributed to the Mike Cheever Grow the Game, the Border Patrol program for our youngest players, the parental and spectator conduct code and the youth amputee program. Remember that these plates are for Mass Hockey. The benefits are for our programs and our children. If you and your friends and family don t have the plates: please get them. if you already have them, please renew and you will ensure continuing revenue for decades to come. Just bring your old plates with your checkbook or credit card to any Mass Registry of Motor Vehicles office and leave with your new Bruins plate and the knowledge that you have helped good people do good things. You can also order the license plate online at 8

10 Dear Massachusetts Hockey Members & Friends, The past season has been very instrumental in moving Massachusetts Hockey into the future. We continued to implement the American Development Model. The 2nd Annual Red, White & Blue Cup was fully booked, and we will move to implement one step closer to all cross ice games for the younger ages. We spent the year self-evaluating the organization and how best to serve our members. The most exciting news of last year is the hiring of our new Executive Director, Kevin Kavanagh. Kevin Kavanagh is returning to his roots in Massachusetts. His experience with USA Hockey in Membership Development growing the game, marketing and fundraising experience with other hockey organizations will prove invaluable to our organization. Some of Kevin s concentrations will be on growing the game, improving communication to our members, and fine tuning all of our state tournaments. As we begin a new season, I look forward to all these exciting happenings of Massachusetts Hockey. We will continue to self evaluate, grow the game and provide benefits to our members. Sincerely, Keri-Anne Allan 10

11 Greetings! As your newly-hired Executive Director, I want to open by thanking you for the opportunity to serve Massachusetts Hockey and be a part of one of the largest and most important pieces of the USA Hockey family. Mass Hockey has a long and storied tradition as a leader in youth hockey and with the current leadership and programs that are in place, that tradition should continue for many years to come. It is my goal to provide our membership with a better understanding of our programs and benefits and celebrate all that is good in youth hockey. In the coming season, I hope to update our current digital platform to include social media as well as monthly communications that will keep our membership informed. Also, I hope to grow our relationship with several sponsors that will allow us to continue to grow the game and support programs that benefit Mass Hockey. I will work to serve the membership of Mass Hockey in a way that you can be proud of. I come to Mass Hockey with a very hockey-oriented background, having worked for American Hockey League and ECHL teams. But more importantly, I was with USA Hockey in Colorado Springs for the past 3 ½ years working in the Membership Development department to help grow the game. During this time, I have come to have a great understanding of the amazing levels of volunteerism that exist in our sport. Under the leadership of Keri Allan and the executive board, Massachusetts has some of the best leaders in youth hockey anywhere in the world. I hope that you all enjoy the season that is upon us and take a moment every now and again throughout the year to enjoy our wonderful sport. Best wishes, Kevin Kavanagh Executive Director Massachusetts Hockey 11

12 Richard Duke Kumpel On July 22, Massachusetts Hockey lost one of its founding fathers. Richard Duke Kumpel. He joined Mass Hockey in 1973 (Mass Hockey s inaugural season) as a District Director for District 10. Just one year later, he was elected as a Vice President and served on the Executive Board in numerous positions since that time. Many will remember Duke for his 20+ years as the State Tournament Director. Most recently, Duke served proudly as Director at Large for Mass Hockey and was a fixture at meetings, spreading his joy and remembrance of a good hockey story. Duke was born December 25, 1930 and was raised in Melrose with his sister Flo and brother George. He graduated from Melrose High School in 1948 where he was a sprinter on the Track and Field team. After graduating he enlisted in the Navy and served in the SeaBees for two years. He met his bride to be, Martha who was a nurse in training at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital and they were married in They had 5 children William, Linda, Kristen, Judith and Mark. He was known as Papa Duke to his 5 grandchildren and first great-granddaughter. Duke was one of the smartest men we had in Massachusetts Hockey. He used sound reasoning and judgment, never jumping to a conclusion. He always allowed the person to speak and explain their side, then would patiently and clearly explain his side and why it was the right way to go. He never raised his voice, just politely and calmly spoke. He once said to his successor We can never make a decision that hurts the kids. So when someone finds a new way to push the rules and we can t stop them without hurting the kids, the next year I will make a new rule so they can t do that again. In 2001 Duke was inducted into the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame. In 2011 the Massachusetts Hockey Special Award was renamed the Richard Duke Kumpel Award and he was its first recipient. Duke isms He greeted everyone with How you doing young fellow He would begin every hockey meeting with Ok For those of you who do not know me I m GOD In response to a tournament going off with no complications I love you when you talk dirty to me One of his favorite lines was I hate kids,just the opposite was true. And then I ll have a rum and Diet Coke 12

If the Executive Board deter mines that there were other reasons for the suspension, other than to comply with a mandate the Executive Board shall determine whether a suspension would continue to be warranted absent the failure to comply with a mandate of Massachusetts Hockey.

Sexual abuse of a minor participant shall be deemed to occur when an officer, director, employee, member or independent contractor touches a minor participant for the purpose of causing the sexual arousal or gratification of either the minor participant or the officer, director, employee, member or independent contractor. Sexual abuse of a minor participant also occurs when a minor player touches an officer, director, employee, member or independent contractor for the sexual gratification of either the minor participant or the officer, director, employee, member or independent contractor, if the touching occurs at the direction, request or with the consent of the officer, director, employee, member or independent contractor.

It shall be the policy of Massachusetts Hockey to refer all complaints of such sexual and/or physical abuse to the appropriate governmental authorities. Massachusetts Hockey may, in its discretion, initiate administrative action against the individual complained of pursuant to the applicable sections of its Constitution and By-Laws and may permanently ban or suspend said individual from Massachusetts Hockey if the allegation is proven to be true.

A conflict of interest exists when an individual's actions and/or relationships present the potential for improper personal gain or advantage or an adverse effect on the interests of the corporation as a result of the individual's position in the corporation. Conflicts of interest relate to and arise from, including but are not necessarily limited to, self dealing and 74

75 interested transactions between the corporation and its Officers and Directors, the purchase and sale of goods and services, the use of corporate assets for a private benefit, the interference with or appropriation of a corporate opportunity, the acceptance of gifts, entertainment and/or favors and failure to deal fairly with the corporation and its Directors and members. Additionally, Officers and Directors shall exercise reasonable care not to disclose confidential information acquired in their official capacity with the corporation, the disclosure of which might be adverse to the corporation and no Officer or Director shall use confidential information for his or her own personal gain. This conflict of interest policy shall apply to the Officers and Directors of the corporation and their family members and any other organization under their control. For purposes of this policy, a family member is a spouse, parent, child or spouse of a child, brother, sister or spouse of a brother or sister. Control exists if an Officer or Director or family member owns, directly or indirectly, at least fifty (50%) percent of the stock ownership or membership interests of another organization or has the right and/or ability to control the management and policies of another organization. Officers and Directors who anticipate having a conflict of interest shall report the conflict to the President of the corporation, or to an individual or committee designated by the President, immediately upon identifying the conflict.

GRANDFATHERING Without explicit exemption in the rule none of these Rules and Regulations have any way shape or form a Grandfather Condition or Clause. USA HOCKEY ASSOCIATE REGISTRARS USA Hockey Associate Registrars are cautioned against accepting too many jobs and responsibilities in Massachusetts Hockey. The fact that they have leadership qualities is the reason for their appointment as District/Divisional Registrars. Two major problems develop from taking on additional duties: 1) not enough time to do one job properly; and 2) a conflict of interest when matters of controversy arise. COACH HELMET USAGE ENFORCEMENT POLICY 1. Third Offense- Two game suspension. At the option of the local suspending authority, the offending coach may be allowed to practice with the team during the suspension as long as he/she wears a helmet. 2.
