Referee Assigning Info
In 2009 we launched our new assigning software to help Linda Book assign all our games from Bantam C lines down to Hockey 3. You may, as a coach, periodically need to log in to add or cancel regularly scheduled games. Please go to the link below to activate and complete your profile. There is also a help menu with a link to a manual for you if you have troubles. As well I will be happy to help you in any way I can.

NOTICES: Mandatory Helmet Policy for Coaches
August 5, 2009
TO: BC Hockey Membership
FROM: Randy Henderson, Officer at Large, Chair Safety Risk Management
SUBJECT: Helmet Policy – Mandatory Branch Requirement
Please review the following information with respect to the BC Hockey Helmet Policy:
1.24 HELMET POLICY - MINOR HOCKEY PRACTICES/EVENTS
1. All Minor Hockey Coaches are to wear a CSA approved helmet during BC Hockey on-ice sanctioned events. The chin strap of the helmet shall be securely fastened under the chin in accordance to Hockey Canada Official Playing Rules with respect to Protective Equipment. The failure to wear a helmet by a minor hockey coach in a BC Hockey sanctioned activity will result in the pulling of BC Hockey's sanction of the event. Unsanctioned events are not covered by the association's insurance policy.
2. Exemption to this policy may be requested on the basis that the wearing of a helmet would interfere with the observance of a religious custom, as follows:
I. Application for such exemption must be made in writing to the BC Hockey Executive Director.
II. Granting of such exemption will require the applicant to provide a signed BC Hockey Helmet Policy Waiver Form to the Executive Director prior to participation in any sanctioned activity.
