For the 2017-18 season the Novice Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs will also be moving to the SWZ. Novice Tier 1 Tryouts If your Novice player would like to tryout for the Novice Tier 1 team this year, you need to select the Non-Refundable Novice Tier 1 Tryout Fee ($100) on your Registration. You may also contact the Registrar to add the tryout on after you have registered up to August 15, 2016.

The tryout fee covers the additional pre-season ice cost that is used for the tryouts and extra ice in September.

Player Evaluations Please check under Important dates for the expected start date of your child s evaluations. If you are interested in helping with Evaluations this year, please watch for the Volunteer sign up sheets in August. Discovery and Jr. Timbits do not take part in Evaluations as Discovery is a learn to skate program and no teams are formed and Jr. Timbits doesn t have teams. Sr. Timbits is planning on having Evaluations to place the players on even teams, but this may change. At Novice, Atom, and Peewee the purpose of Evaluations is to place the children on teams with similar ability level players that will play against similar tiered teams in the Hockey Edmonton program. Dates and information on website under Evaluations. Volunteer Deposit Program Confederation Hockey is a volunteer-run organization, and as such, it depends on the volunteer assistance of its members to function successfully. Volunteers are essential to maintaining and growing the Confederation Hockey Club. The more volunteers we have, the better our association becomes! Overview of 2016-17 Volunteer Deposit Program: Every family is required to complete volunteer commitments for 2016-17 unless they have paid the volunteer opt-out fee on their registration. The number of volunteer commitments for each family is dependent on the number of players and which category they are in. It is important to note that we would rather have the family complete a volunteer commitment and contribute to the success of the club than pay the opt-out fee. Discovery and Jr Timbits player families are required to complete ONE VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT per player. Sr Timbits, Novice, Atom, and Peewee player families are required to complete TWO VOLUNTEER COMMITMENTS per player. There are no exemptions to the volunteer requirements. There is no maximum number of commitments that a family can contribute in a given year. There is no roll-over of volunteer commitments from year to year. Volunteer deposit cheques will be collected for every player Discovery to Peewee prior to the registration being accepted. In the event that a family does not complete their volunteer commitments, the deposit cheque will be cashed.

Changes to Initiation - Discovery, Jr. Timbits, Sr. Timbits Thank you for your patience in the last 6 months, as we have been meeting with the hockey associations across Edmonton, to come to a final decision on the Initiation program, as per the request of Hockey Edmonton. The changes to make note of: Discovery (Previously Initiation 1A) this program is for brand new skaters, learning to skate with hockey equipment and incorporate hockey skills throughout the season. This will remain on Friday nights for Confed, have a paid instructor on the ice and be a 45 minute program. Ideally this will be for 2011/2012 birth years, dependent on skill level. Timbits Program (Previously Initiation 2A/3A) this program has been split into two. The Timbits Program is for 2011/2010 birth years, but also dependent on skill level. Jr. Timbits The 1 st Timbits program will be 1 hour Practice, once a week, on Saturday or Sunday this is called Jr.Timbits. There will be a Lead Instructor on the Ice for practices, with several coaches assisting. The Lead Instructor position will rotate between the on ice coaches, and they will use Hockey Canada s Initiation Program Curriculum (available for digital retrieval in the ProSmart system). Sr. Timbits The 2 nd Timbits program will be two 1 hour ice times per week (on Saturday and Sunday) 1 practice, 1 game this is called Sr.Timbits. There will be a Lead Instructor on the Ice for practices, with several coaches assisting. The Lead Instructor position will rotate between the on ice coaches, and they will use Hockey Canada s Initiation Program Curriculum (available for digital retrieval in the ProSmart system). During the Game session there will be a game on each end of the rink, with the middle of the ice being used for active rest, drills the kids want to work on and unstructured small games. We look forward to a GREAT 2016/17 Season in our Discovery and Timbits programs! Bingo Credit Opportunities Bingos are OPTIONAL. Confed offers bingos as an option for individual family fundraising.

2016-17 Confederation Hockey Volunteer Deposit Program Confederation Hockey is a volunteer-run organization, and as such, it depends on the volunteer assistance of its members to function successfully. Volunteers are essential to maintaining and growing the Confederation Hockey Club. The more volunteers we have, the better our association becomes! Overview of 2016-17 Volunteer Deposit Program: Every family is required to complete volunteer commitments for 2016-17 unless they have paid the volunteer opt-out fee on their registration. The number of volunteer commitments for each family is dependent on the number of players and which category they are in. o It is important to note that we would rather have the family complete a volunteer commitment and contribute to the success of the club than pay the opt-out fee. Discovery and Jr Timbits player families are required to complete ONE VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT per player. Sr Timbits, Novice, Atom, and Peewee player families are required to complete TWO VOLUNTEER COMMITMENTS per player. There are no exemptions to the volunteer requirements. There is no maximum number of commitments that a family can contribute in a given year. There is no roll-over of volunteer commitments from year to year. Volunteer deposit cheques will be collected for every player Discovery to Peewee prior to the registration being accepted. In the event that a family does not complete their volunteer commitments, the deposit cheque(s) will be cashed. Opportunities that count for 3 Volunteer Commitments for 2016-17 are: Executive Board Members Head Coach (one per team, entire season) Opportunities that count for 2 Volunteer Commitments for 2016-17 are: Assistant Coach (max 5 per team, entire season) Team Manager (one per team, entire season) Christmas Tournament Rink Manager or Committee Member Opportunities that count for 1 Volunteer Commitments for 2016-17 are: Team Manager (two per team, entire season) Parent Liaison (one per team, entire season) Jersey Parent (home or away for the entire season, bring to games and launder) Special Events as communicated from the club Time Keeping or Score Keeping (10 games) In-Person Registration Volunteer Evaluation Volunteer o Check-in Table, Evaluator (Timbits), Timekeeper, Bench Help all on a shift basis Confed Wear Sales Volunteer Confederation Raffle - Entire Club Hand-out or Hand-In day Volunteer Christmas Tournament Volunteer on shift basis, over 250 volunteers required o 50/50 Seller o Sign-in Table Greeter o Office Support o Silent Auction and Raffle Table o Silent Auction and Raffle Item Solicitations Minor Hockey Week Volunteer on shift basis o Timekeeper, Check in Table, Spotter Special Events as communicated from the club If you have additional suggestions/recommendations on ways to help out - bring them forward the Confederation Board may want to add them to the list of volunteer opportunities.
2016-17 Volunteer Deposit Program FAQs How do I find volunteer opportunities? Confederation Hockey identifies those interested in Coaching and Assistant Coaching help during registration, so please note your interest on your child s registration. Many club opportunities will come out via email from Confederation Hockey and involve a sign up process to participate in those opportunities. There will also be opportunities available for each team that you can sign up for once your child has been placed on a team. Still not sure where to sign up? please email admin@confedhockey.org for information. If I complete all my volunteer commitments, when will I receive my cheque back? For 2016-17, after completing the minimum number of volunteer commitments your deposit cheque will be shredded or held for pick up by April 1, 2017 depending on what you indicated on the 2016-17 Confederation volunteer deposit form at time of registration. How are these volunteer jobs tracked? The Parent Liaison will track the team volunteer commitments, along with the Confederation Administrator who is tracking the volunteer commitments for the entire club. Parent Liaisons will submit a list of team commitments twice during the year directly to the Confederation Administrator. What if I have more than 1 child in Confederation Hockey Club? For each player in Discovery or Jr Timbits you submit a $50 volunteer deposit cheque for one volunteer commitment. For each player in Sr Timbits, Novice, Atom, or Peewee you submit one $200 volunteer deposit cheque. Will I be contacted prior to my volunteer time as a reminder? No, it is your responsibility to manage your volunteer commitment. Will I be contacted prior to my volunteer deposit cheque being cashed? Confederation Hockey will send out opportunities to volunteer to all members, but the responsibility is the family s to ensure they have volunteered so their cheque is not cashed. Our hope is we have no cheques to deposit. Do donations, sponsorships, or gifts count as a Volunteer Commitment? No, things like bringing snacks or other items to the team, team sponsorships, or event tickets do not count as volunteering. If I pay out my volunteer does that excuse me from participating in any fundraisers for the club? No, although we cannot make fundraisers, such as our Annual Raffle mandatory, participation in fundraisers such as these helps to generate funds for our club and keep registration costs down as well as allow Confederation Hockey to offer the fantastic program we have! What if I help the Coach or Manager with part of their duties throughout the year, does that count as a Volunteer Commitment? No, although taking on some extra little tasks may be helpful to the Coach or Manager to help with things like gamesheets, raffle tickets, or planning a party, those tasks are already accounted for under other positions and do not count as a Volunteer Commitment.
