PRESIDENTS REPORT Randy Henderson, BC Hockey President On behalf of all the players who participate in our great game, I would like to thank the thousands of volunteers who made our game so successful again this year. We have remarkable events that happened around the Branch this year from tournaments and leagues to play days, special events and championships. I cannot thank you enough for your devotion to the game. We have excellent programs in every corner of the Branch. We will strive to continue to work with Districts, Programs, Above Minor Groups and Minor Hockey Associations (MHAs) to make our game the best it can be. We will endeavor to take a positive, respectful approach to problem solving at the Branch level and ensure solutions are well thought out and meet the needs of all our game participants. With the work initiated by the Program Committees, we have begun to see the benefits of subject matter experts penetrating all aspects of our program areas. Our programs will be stronger, more efficient and better at meeting the needs of our players, coaches, officials, parents and MHAs. With the release of the Game Management Strategies with our wonderful partners, the Vancouver Canucks, we will also begin more effectively addressing game management and misbehavior issues in arenas in a positive manner. Hockey rinks are, and should always be, fun and exciting places to enjoy the game. As we strive to be leaders in Canada, we have sought the support of Hockey Canada on issues from upgrades to the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR), game management support, recruitment initiatives and training of coaches and officials. With the support of a few key Branches, we have been very successful in initiating change to the support we needed from Hockey Canada in meeting the demands of an ever changing game and demographic within the game. Our efforts to improve technology with Hockey Canada will be a key tool in keeping hockey a leader and the number one Canadian sport choice. If we continue to consider our players as clients and their parents as customers, we need to deliver our off ice technological programs utilizing modern technology and hopefully recognize our customer’s busy lives. By growing our app programs and tools of technology to be an information and educational conduit, we can reach more game participants in a less time consuming ways. Ultimately, more effective communication and information flow will result. To say this year has been busy would certainly be an understatement. Barry and I visited each District and received thoughtful comments regarding governance and concerns districts are having in promoting the game and in some cases keeping it alive in small communities. The message we got was simple, we need to embrace our efforts to be more nimble and be able to respond to the rapidly changing demographics and needs that Districts and MHAs face. I believe the new governance model will assist greatly in having the primary stakeholders in a position to make informed recommendations to the new Board. BC Hockey continues to bring tremendous opportunities to players far and above the game itself. We are helping develop fine citizens for tomorrow and preparing our youth with life long skills that will make all of BC a better place to live. I congratulate everyone for their efforts and it has been a tremendous honor to preside over an organization as noble as ours.

DIVISIONAL REPORTS
JUNIOR A John Grisdale, BC Hockey Junior A Divisional Director The British Columbia Hockey League’s (BCHL) 53rd season is complete with the league-champion Penticton Vees now representing the BCHL at the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup. Currently, 105 BCHL players have secured National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I scholarships, the most of any Junior A league in Canada. There were also five players listed by National Hockey League (NHL) Central Scouting as potential draft picks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. In June of 2014, five BCHL players were selected by NHL clubs as well as one BCHL graduate from the NCAA ranks. The scholarship and NHL draft success is directly tied to the initiation and growth of the BCHL Showcase, which has welcomed about 200 college and professional scouts each of the last three years. At the 2014 World Junior A Challenge in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, nine BCHL players took part but the team was unable to reach the podium. A major priority for the league is improving, both in video and audio quality, each club’s pay-per-view broadcasts via league partner FASTHockey. Sharing of video highlights increased this past season and improved broadcasts will ensure this continues fans watching from home and enhance the BCHL brand and reputation. There are exciting developments afoot with respect to league partnerships. BCHL Senior Director of Partnerships and Marketing Adam Less was hired in September of 2014 and tasked with enhancing the BCHL brand and attracting new sponsors to the league. His report and progress will be submitted at the 2015 BCHL Annual General Meeting. League discipline continues to be handled by Executive Director Trevor Alto. His initiative and decisiveness helped the league through some high-profile disciplinary processes and his rulings were well-received by the league, media and fans. Alto has also worked closely with BCHL Director of Operations Rob Lambie to address scheduling obstacles and provide clarity for fans and teams in the season ahead. Presence online is growing for the BCHL. The league tops Junior A circuits on Twitter with a following approaching 8,000. The league is continuing with its popular weekly newsletters, reporting on current stories in the BCHL. Smart Hockey Magazine is into its seventh season with the most recent editions online. There are two more editions ahead this season, both of which will be released online in digital format.

JUNIOR B Brian Harrison, BC Hockey Junior B Divisional Director Again this year we operated with 39 teams in three (3) leagues: Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (9); Pacific Junior Hockey League (10); and the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (20). All Leagues report strong community support with a number of full houses during their playoff runs. This was our third season of operating under the Junior B Supplement. The Supplement has proven to be a very successful initiative and has allowed for the standardization of rules and suspensions in all three leagues. This season saw all three leagues cracking down in the area of abuse of officials. While successful for the most part, it is an area we will continue to monitor. A big thank-you goes to the staff members for their continued support in providing us with assistance in tracking infractions. It has proven to be invaluable. Mission hosted this year’s Cyclone Taylor Cup. The on-ice portion was a tremendous success, as we tried a new format in the round robin portion of the tournament. We went to overtime (five (5) minutes four on four, followed by five (5) minutes of three on three, followed by a shootout if necessary) for the first time. In addition, three (3) points were given for a regulation time win, two (2) points for an overtime win and one (1) for an overtime loss. No points for a regulation loss. The idea was to reduce the possibility of the use of tiebreakers for determining standings for the medal round. Of the six games played, three went to overtime with one going to 11 rounds of the shoot out! Exciting stuff. Campbell River Junior B defeated Kimberley Junior B to win gold and the right to go on to the Keystone Cup in Cold Lake, Alberta. Mission Junior B was victorious over North Vancouver Junior B in the Bronze Medal game. Thank you, Scott Kieler and your dedicated committee for an outstanding tournament in Mission. At the Keystone Cup, Campbell River Storm Junior B (Coach and GM Lee Stone) defended BC’s title and made it a three peat. This marked the first time a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) team has won the Western Canadian Championship. Congratulations Campbell River Junior B! It also marked the first time all three BC Junior B Leagues have won a Keystone in three successive years. This was the sixth time in seven years that BC has won the Keystone. This is a truly remarkable accomplishment, and testimony to the strength of our program and the programs of BC Hockey who has successfully developed our players. Our 11 Keystone Cup wins are now the most of any province! Thank you to the three League Executives and to the staff of BC Hockey for their continued support. As this season draws to a close, and with the possibility of the implementation of the restructuring of the governance model for BC Hockey, this may be my last report as Junior B Divisional Director. I have enjoyed nearly a decade of working with all who have worked so hard in the Junior B program to make it a success. I believe we have moved Junior B forward and have made it one of the most successful hockey divisions not only in BC, but also in Western Canada. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this success. Brian Harrison, Junior B Divisional Director, BC Hockey

SENIOR MALE HOCKEY Mike Fraser, BC Hockey Senior Male Divisional Director It was a busy year in Senior Hockey. It was a frat playoff in the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) with all close games with Terrace eventually coming out on top. Williams Lake had a great regular season only losing once and having to travel to Powell River to play the Regals for a berth in the Coy Cup. All three games went to over time with Powell River winning out. Another series had two more teams enter Coy Cup with Fort St. John defeating Whitehorse to advance to Coy Cup being held in Fort Nelson for first time. Fort St. John won the Coy Cup defeating Terrace in the final. The British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) had another good year with Selkirk College winning again this year. The league is currently looking to add at least a couple more American teams. Nothing to report on Canlan. This is the first year in a while that there was no AAA representation from our Province. Hopefully Senior Hockey will continue to grow and give opportunity to those graduating from College or just out of Junior Hockey. Mike Fraser Senior Divisional Director
SENIOR FEMALE HOCKEY Rick Kupchuk, BC Hockey Female Senior / Recreational Divisional Director Eleven competitive Senior Female teams took to the ice for the 2014-2015 season, all eleven were carded at the Senior A level. In the North, the Dawson Creek Elite Stars and the North Peace Eagles of Fort St. John again participated in the Peace Country Female Hockey League. Neither team participated in the Provincial playoffs. The other nine teams played in the South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League (SCFAHL), playing a 28-game season. At the SCFAHL/BC Hockey Championship Tournament in Richmond, a six-team format was a huge success, with round robin play followed by a single-elimination playoff. After several close games, the South Fraser TNT edged the Kamloops Vibe 2-1 in the championship game. Both teams qualified for the Western Shield in Stonewall, Manitoba, participating in the Senior B division. The TNT challenged for the championship, but fell just short in the gold medal game, losing 4-3 to the Assiniboine Community College Cougars of Manitoba.

Other highlights included the first annual SCFAHL All-Star game, which brought together Senior Female players from Victoria, Metro Vancouver and Kamloops for an exciting, competitive game in Richmond on March 21. Planning is already underway for next year's event. SCFAHL hosted its third World Girls Hockey Weekend with a jamboree weekend on October 3-5 in Surrey, inviting the Female Midget League to stage six games in the same arena. The event promotes both levels of hockey very well. Challenges for coming seasons include a need for one or more Senior AA teams in the Branch, and creating more awareness of Senior Female in the general hockey community. Too often, we hear from minor female associations/teams that they are unaware of SCFAHL or its teams. Also a concern is the not following up on Senior Female issues. This isn't to suggest anyone is intentionally ignoring the Senior Female game, but this division of hockey is often overlooked, and has resulted in missed opportunities for our teams. I'd like to thank the staff of BC Hockey for their assistance and support this past season, it was very much appreciated. Meetings/events I have attended this past season:
Senior Team BC vs. BC U18 (July, Summerland) BC Hockey executive committee meetings (October/January/May, Richmond) Senior A provincial tournament (March, Richmond) Western Shield (April, Winnipeg, MB)
MIDGET LEAGUE REPORTS Len Cuthbert, Officer at Large
BC Major Midget League The BC Major Midget League entered the twelve season of play this past year. The League has experienced tremendous growth since the creation in 2003-2004. The developmental model is effective with over 1020 players graduating to Junior Hockey. The Vancouver North East Chiefs captured the League Championship with a dominant playoff performance capped off by a sweep of the Cariboo Cougars. The Chiefs bid for a National Championship fell short with a loss to the UFA Bisons in the Midget Pacific Regional Championship. Regular Season Standings:

DISTRICT REPORTS
EAST KOOTENAY REPORT Rick Boekestyn, BC Hockey District Director This year I returned to the Position of District Director after an 11 year absence. Hockey in the East Kootenay has changed administratively somewhat, as most Minor Hockey Association’s struggle with the ability to register players, keep good volunteers, and generally promote the game. Numbers overall are down this year, and it is concerning that Canal Flats Minor Hockey Association has been absent at the District table. Other associations find it difficult to offer competitive hockey programs as numbers dictate how many teams they can register, and at what levels. Accordingly associations have had to develop relationships in order to offer “shared “programming. This idea is not unique to the East Kootenay, and other smaller districts are struggling with the same issues. Thanks should go out to all the MHA Presidents, for their ability to deal with these issues on a daily basis. Thanks also to Wallace and Leanne, for keeping the East Kootenay League running smoothly, and for the leadership role they serve. Golden hosted a Hockey Canada Bauer First Strides Clinic and 44 kids showed up to receive some gear and be exposed to the game. Hopefully some will sign up to play next year. East Kootenay holds their monthly meetings via Video Conference, these have been successful and will continue next year. The East Kootenay MHA website has also been a great success, with more hits than expected this year. In an effort to promote Hockey in the District, a challenge to each Minor Association was sent out by the President to increase registration by five (5) players this year. There may be a prize for the winners. Wait and see! We held two BC Hockey Championships this year in the District. Bantam Tier 2 in Cranbrook, and Pee Wee Tier 4 in Kimberley. Both were a huge success, and my thanks to the Host Committee’s for both events on a job well done. Teams representing the East Kootenay were once again competitive at the various Championships, and Congratulations to the Peewee Tier 2 team from Cranbrook for winning that Championship. As we look to next year we will struggle with many of the same issues as in the past. We must work together to brainstorm new ideas that will keep hockey strong in the East Kootenay, and develop and promote the game as to attract new people, new players, and committed volunteers. Respectively submitted, Rick Boekestyn

WEST KOOTENAY REPORT June McKenzie, BC Hockey District Director West Kootenay Minor Hockey Associations are facing the same issues that many other Districts are facing – lower registration & how to offer the best hockey experience possible to players at a reasonable cost. This year, one of our associations offered the option of a shortened season for players at the Initiation level. This past season, West Kootenay had a total of 58 teams from the seven (7) West Kootenay associations & five (5) USA Hockey associations competing in Atom, Pee Wee, Bantam & Midget Recreational & Pee Wee, Bantam & Midget Carded Leagues in the West Kootenay. This is an overall increase in teams from last season, but it’s mainly due to the increase in USA Hockey teams participating at the Bantam & Midget levels. Three (3) Tier 2 teams & the Female Bantam carded team also participated in Okanagan Mainline Amature Hockey Association. As well as their minor hockey teams, Nelson Minor Hockey also was the host association for the Kootenay AAA Female Wildcats & the Kootenay Ice of the MML. Initiation/Novice teams remained steady at 25 in the District. A highlight for the District this year was the visit by Randy Henderson & Barry Petrachenko to the West Kootenay District meeting in February. This was the first time many of our MHA presidents had met Randy &/or Barry, so the visit was greatly appreciated. Greater Trail Minor Hockey hosted the Tier 2 Midget Championships, won by New Westminster. Castlegar Minor Hockey hosted the Tier 1 Bantam Female Championships, won by the Richmond Ravens. It was a great week of hockey in both Trail & Castlegar, with many exciting games & displays of sportsmanship. Thanks to Curtis Klashinsky & Grant Walton who represented BC Hockey & Shawn Brandt & his committee for the Bantam Female Championships & Rob McKay & his committee for the Tier 2 Midget Championships for all their work both during the Championships & in the months leading up to them. I’d also like to thank Sean Raphael, BC Hockey RIC, who came to Trail to supervise & evaluate officials at the Tier 2 Midget Championships. Thank-you to all the officials, volunteers, sponsors, arena staff who worked so hard to make these tournaments successful, as well as the participating teams & players’ parents who contribute to the success of the tournaments. This year three (3) West Kootenay associations represented the District at five (5) BC Hockey Championships. None of the teams brought championship banners back to the District, but two (2) of them received silver medals. Certification of officials was down slightly this year, with 150 officials being certified from Level 1 to Level 5 at seven (7) clinics. Twenty-one (21) officials attended the Coach Level Clinic this year & another twenty-seven (27) attended the Checking Skills clinics. Eight (8) parents also completed the on-line Respect In Sport Clinic this year. Over the season I dealt with three (3) match/gross penalties, which is consistent with last season. There were also 160 requests for exhibition games & out of district tournaments. This is a slight decrease from last year, probably due to the decreased number of carded teams. Thank-you to all the BC Hockey District Committee members, District & Minor Hockey Association Executive members & association volunteers for all the time they put in so the players have an enjoyable experience.

LOWER MAINLAND REPORT
Bonnie Cameron, Troy Theodore, and Bill Veenstra, BC Hockey District Directors For the 2014-2015 hockey season, 1263 minor hockey teams participated in regular Pacific Coast Amature Hockey Association (PCAHA) league programs, while a further eight (8) Hockey Canada Sport School teams participated in their evolving programs and the Canadian Sport School Hockey League. These represented a total of 19,646 players. The three District Directors divided up responsibility for these programs as follows: Bonnie Cameron dealt with the Midget and Juvenile levels, Bill Veenstra dealt with the Bantam level, and Troy Theodore dealt with Female hockey and all programs Pee Wee and below. Troy Theodore also handled all tournament permission requests. Registration Levels A table showing the number of teams participating within the Lower Mainland district is on the third page of this report. Overall, the number of teams showed a slight increase from 1252 in 2013-2014 to 1,263 in 2014-2015 (by comparison, in 2012-2013 there were 1304 teams). Player registration also increased slightly from 19,573 in 2013-2014 to 19,646 in 2014-2015. This was an increase of 0.4%, although registration levels are still below 20,000 (which was exceeded in 2011-2012 and 2012-2013). Divisions with increases include Tyke (H1/H2), Hockey 3, Peewee and Juvenile, while Atom, Midget and H4 showed slight decreases and Bantam was mostly unchanged. At both the Bantam and Midget levels, the number of “A” teams, which jumped two years ago when body checking was eliminated from “C” hockey, is gradually decreasing while the number of non-body checking “C” teams is increasing back toward previous levels. This likely reflects an increasing understanding and acceptance of non-body checking hockey. PCAHA Meetings District Directors attended monthly PCAHA Executive meetings as available. In addition, district directors attended the PCAHA Semi Annual general meeting in September, Presidents’ Caucus meetings in October, January and April, and will attend the AGM in May. We worked directly throughout the year with PCAHA Managing Directors and other executive members as issues arose during the season. We would like to thank PCAHA’s executive members for their cooperation and assistance with us over the past year as we worked together on many aspects of the minor hockey program. Coach / Manager Meetings PCAHA holds a series of coach/manager meetings in late September and early October every year. One of the District Directors attended each of the 12 meetings in order to explain some of BC Hockey’s programs and to answer any questions. Coach Training A total of 32 coaching clinics were held in the Lower Mainland district. There were 22 Coach 2 (formerly Hybrid) clinics, eight (8) Developmental 1 clinics, one (1) High Performance clinic, and one (1) female hockey-specific clinic. Thank you to all of the minor hockey associations who hosted clinics last year. In addition, BC Hockey held an instructor training session in October, 2014 for the checking skills clinic that was mandated by Hockey Canada for implementation in the fall of 2014. This brought together a number of skilled and experienced instructors from various minor hockey associations across the Lower Mainland, who were then able to provide the checking skills training to the hundreds of coaches across the Lower Mainland who required it. This was a one-time event but BC Hockey staff certainly appreciated the opportunity to liaise and work with many of the hockey skills staff from a number of Lower Mainland association’s and to develop those relationships.

Officiating Program Within the Lower Mainland there were seven days of two (2) per day “super clinics” for returning officials. In addition, some 29 smaller clinics were held by Minor Hockey Association’s for new officials. Overall, the number of officials working in minor hockey in the Lower Mainland was 2074 – broken down as follows: Level 1 – 1246; Level 2 – 768; Level 3 – 46; Level 4 – 14; Level 5 – 1; Level 6 – 1. We would like to thank our Officiating Coordinators, Ryan Bulger, Casey Rumley and Cary Gregory, for their support and assistance over the course of the year. They – along with other BC Hockey officiating supervisors – made a concentrated effort this year to increase the supervision, evaluation and mentoring functions, and gave special focus this year to tournaments during the year which permitted them to work with a large number of officials in a concentrated time and location. The Officiating Coordinators also liaised with PCAHA’s Referee Development Committee, its Referee Assigning Centre, and with Referee in Chief’s from the various MHA’s to ensure ongoing referee development and monitoring within the limits of the resources available to them. We would also like to acknowledge the work of Al White, Female Officiating Development Coordinator, for his ongoing work liaising with and explaining the officiating program to the PCAHA executive and at PCAHA President’s Caucus meetings, and Paul Willing, PCAHA’s Referee Development Coordinator, for his assistance and cooperation.

The number of Match penalties has dropped substantially (from 176 to 123). The number of Gross Misconducts also dropped (down from 76 to 62) and is less than half what it was two years ago (127). We continue to struggle with obtaining timely reporting from officials of serious penalties – as (we are advised) do the PCAHA officials who deal with Game Misconducts. We continue to hope that the on-line reporting system for officials, which has worked well at the above minor level, can be adapted for use at the minor level as well.

Sanctioning Participation in Tournaments and Out-of-Province Exhibition Games For this season, the District Directors again delegated sanctioning of tournaments and exhibition games that are out-of-district but within British Columbia to the PCAHA managing directors. District director Troy Theodore maintained the approval process out-of-province sanction approvals. Over the course of the season, some 283 applications were submitted – 270 for tournaments and 13 for exhibition games. The tournament applications can be broken out as follows:
By Region By Division
Washington – 170 apps (63%)
Oregon – 23 apps (9%)
Other states – 60 apps (22%)
Other provinces – 17 apps (6%)
Bantam – 76 apps (28%)
Peewee – 66 apps (24%)
Midget – 64 apps (24%)
Atom – 59 apps (22%)
Other – 5 apps (2%)
Organizing for Championships The Lower Mainland hosted three BC Hockey Championships in March 2015 – Juvenile hosted by Chilliwack Minor Hockey Association, Peewee Tier 1 hosted by Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association, and Female Pee Wee hosted by North Shore Female Ice Hockey Association. All were great successes, and we give our thanks to the host committees for their hard work. This year, Sean Orr from the BC Hockey office hosted a series of monthly video-conferences with host committees and district directors participating, and was a main point of contact for many of the host committees prior to the championships. This provided consistency of approach, reduced the need for travel to meetings (in past years we have had regular in-person meetings at the PCAHA office for host committees) and seems to have been a success. Hockey Canada Sport Schools There were eight (8) Hockey Canada Sport School teams this year in the Lower Mainland – two (2) at Yale Academy (Abbotsford), two (2) at Burnaby Winter Club, and four (4) at South Delta (two of which were Bantam). All eight (8) of them played in the Canadian Sports School Hockey League which is gradually becoming more established. These sport schools have had an impact on some of the traditional Midget A teams, as a number of players who might otherwise have played in Midget A programs have chosen to participate in the sport school programs. At the same time, the feedback from those players who are participating in the programs has been generally very positive. The expansion of these sports schools into the Bantam level will continue next year, and it anticipated that there may be up to two Female Midget sport school teams in the Lower Mainland as well for next year. PCAHA TEAM REGISTRATIONS
NORTH CENTRAL REPORT Dawn Bursey, BC Hockey District Director The Canada Winter Games were a major focus for many hockey enthusiasts in our District this past season, including myself. It was a great event that took years of planning, and a great experience being a part of it. Congratulations to the Quesnel and Williams Lake for their medal finishes, and to the Northern Cougars for their Championship win over the Fraser Valley Phantom. An advocate of female hockey for many years, it was especially heartwarming for me to see local players succeed at this level. I’d also like to acknowledge Trevor Sprague and the Cariboo Cougars for their incredible season and commend their organization for their contribution to the Canada Winter Games. North Central hosted the Pee Wee Tier 2 Championships which were a success. Congratulations to Cranbrook for their gold medal finish and a special thanks to the Host Committee for their efforts. A special thanks to the following District Coordinators for their commitment this past season: Male High Performance Evaluator – Steve Amiss Female High Performance Coordinator – Troy Weil District Coach Coordinator – Chris Kaban Referee Committee Member – Ross Campbell Female Development Coordinator – Kelly Call We’re looking forward to seeing many of you back next season. Overall, gross and match penalties were down this season with only a few (including one coach) occurring in the second half of the season. There were a number of initiatives discussed around the District that we will continue to work on in the upcoming season. The Cariboo League district-wide screening policy will be followed up on, as well as the standardization of various league applications and/or requests to the Branch. In light of the new requirements with respect to non-profit societies, it has been suggested that a review of

Association Constitutions as well as Policies and Procedures be conducted. Those associations expressing an interest in obtaining assistance will be given priority. With BC Hockey preparing to implement the new Governance Structure, my tenure as ‘North Central District Director’ may be coming to an end. Given that our District is in favour of the new structure, I would request your support in being selected to the new Board at this year’s Annual General Meeting. To the players, thank you for your hard work and commitment to the game; to the coaches, parents, and countless other volunteers who devote their time and energy to the sport, it could not happen without out. And to everyone both around the District and at BC Hockey, heartfelt thanks for your continued support and patience this past season. Dawn Bursey BC Hockey District Director, North Central
NORTH EAST / YUKON REPORT Jim McDonald, BC Hockey District Director The North East/Yukon has enjoyed a successful year in 2014-2015. As District Director, I was able to attend all Peace River District Minor Hockey Associations meetings quarterly, this year I was also able to travel to the Yukon and meet with the Yukon Amateur Hockey Association (YAHA) and Whitehorse Hockey Minor Hockey Associations (WAMHA). This gave me a great chance meet with all the great volunteers. The District made some great step with the Yukon hosting a super clinic, and with the assistance of District Coordinators and BC Hockey staff made this clinic a great success and dealt with the long term problem of getting every one trained up. The super clinic allowed all training in the Yukon compressed into one weekend. Training in the North East was done by Mike Landucci, (Referee Committee Member) and Shawn Brinksy (District Coach Coordinator) who completed all required clinics in the North East. The North East/Yukon was able to host one championship Midget Tier 3 which was originally to be hosted by Whitehorse but after unforeseen circumstance was not able to host, Dawson Creek Minor Hockey Association picked up the opportunity and having only 65 days to accomplish with other host committees have had nine (9) months to organize a special thanks goes out to Richard Cronier, and Becky Needham who organized and ran this championship to the level the far exceeds expectations. North East/Yukon was well represented at championship this season, coming home with two banners Whitehorse Bantam tier 3, Chetwynd Midget Tier 4. Also an honorable mention to Dawson Creek Bantam Tier 3, Fort Nelson Pee Wee Tier 4 and Fort St John Pee Wee Tier 3 on their fair play recognition at Championships. The North East Trackers were able attend their first Tier 1 Midget championship. In conclusion it’s has been a busy year for all the district, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank the BC hockey office staff for their support to all associations. The District President Brant Leer and his committee also all Minor Hockey Associations and their volunteers; without every one’s commitment and countless volunteer hours hockey would not exists. Enjoy your summer and we will see you in 2015-2016 season

NORTH WEST REPORT Darrell Lerum, BC Hockey District Director The 2014-2015 season has ended and the North West District has enjoyed another successful year. With the help of Bob Storey (District President) and Coordinators the District ran several clinics throughout the year. This ensured that all bench staff were certified and resulted in teams being eligible for Championships. Dan Nickel is the Referee in Chief (RIC) for the North West District. He did an excellent job organizing several referee clinics at the starting of the year. He also spent a lot of time developing referees throughout the season. The District for the first time ever hosted two championships. Fraser Lake for the first time hosted Bantam Tier 4 Championships. The host committee did an excellent job being very organized and everyone having an excellent experience. Kitimat hosted Pee Wee Tier 3 Championships and ended up having to host the event in Terrace. Thank you to Terrace for helping and supporting this event. Kitimat host committee did an excellent job also ran very smooth. Terrace won the Championship for Midget Tier 3 excellent job. I would like to thank the BC Hockey office for their support throughout the year. Next year is going to be a very important year for the new structuring throughout BC Hockey. Thank you everyone for the support the past year and hopefully I will get the support for next season.
OKANAGAN MAINLINE REPORT Bill Greene, BC Hockey District Directors I would like to begin as I have in the past thanking all that offered me guidance and assistance this season in completing my duties as the Okanagan District Director for BC Hockey. I would like to especially thank the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association Executive and all of our members for their cooperation and understanding this season as we all worked together to ensure our District would have another successful year. This year I was responsible for Discipline at all levels. While this was challenging at times it allowed me to have more interaction with many of our local associations and their members, which I felt was very positive. It really gave me an opportunity to discuss issues that I am confident are prevalent in all Minor Hockey Associations in Canada. It also provided me with a clearer understanding of the many challenges that we continue to face when trying to provide a sport in communities with very limited youth and many opportunities for other family oriented activities. Many of the smallest associations in our District continue to work hard to provide meaningful opportunities for our youth in hockey. This has clearly demonstrated to me the high caliber of volunteer we still are so fortunate to have in our game. One of our smallest associations Thompson Cariboo began implementing programs for the youngest age groups over the past couple of seasons and we can now see a resurgence of hockey in an area that our game had almost faded away. They have provided an example of what can be done when you work together with a common goal. Special congratulations to Thompson Cariboo for a job well done.

The lack of returning and new Officials is still a concern. I am pleased to see OMAHA take a lead role in working to improve not only the quantity of Officials but also the quality of Officials moving forward in our District. I am encouraged by their willingness to tackle this project with a strong commitment for improvement in all aspects of the Officiating Program and “Game Management”. Our local Officiating Coordinators and instructors have done an excellent job over the 2014-15 season and with their continued involvement it can only get better. Without a doubt there is a new level of excitement surrounding the restructuring of BC Hockey with the Governance Review that has highlighted this past season. The Okanagan is ready to embrace the change as it is clear that this Governance Restructuring will lead us into the future and ensure our game will be able to respond to our ever changing social climate. We continue to try and find ways to keep the game more affordable but struggle with the ever-increasing cost of ice rental everywhere. This makes many of our attempts for recruitment and retention more difficult. I do believe though that we will find our way clear on how to better organize ourselves to make the game grow before it is too late. Our Minor Hockey Associations in our District are talking with each other more than they ever have, and this I know will lead to a stronger District and a better-structured game for the future. We were very excited to have had an opportunity to host three Championships this year in the Okanagan. Bantam Tier 1 in Kelowna, Female Midget in Penticton, and Midget Tier 4 Male in Clearwater. All of our Host Associations did an excellent job hosting the Province. My thanks to all of the volunteers who did everything they could to make these events successful. I would also like to thank the Teams who came from all areas of BC and brought an exciting level of good sportsmanship and truly represented your Home District’s with a lot of class. Serious penalties (Match and Gross Misconducts) are still a very serious concern. This season we had a marginal increase in both these areas, and while this has tweaked my attention I believe with the approach for better “Game Management” by our District and Officiating Instructional Staff under the guidance of BC Hockey we will find ways to reduce these numbers significantly. Grass roots development for players must be our focus moving toward the 2015- 2016 season. Players must be provided with not only challenges but also opportunities to be the best they can be. We all need to commit to work together to make the challenges fewer and opportunities greater to entice a new lasting level of players to move our game into the future. We all must remember that we cannot move forward if we do not continue to be critical of our approach to providing our sport to the youth of BC. Again thanks to all those parents who continue to offer their time as Coaches, Referees, Team Officials, and Administrators, that assist the youth of our communities large and small, engage in a sport that provides meaningful opportunities for our leaders of the future.
VANCOUVER ISLAND REPORT Deb Turney, BC Hockey District Director This is now my fifth year as District Director, which has yet again gone by very fast, in saying that, I would like thank the 17 wonderful hockey associations that compose our district, Vancouver Island Amature Hockey Association (VIAHA) officers and staff members and BC Hockey Executive Committee and staff, you have all been a great team to work with.

This year matches and grosses were slightly down from last year’s numbers. This year our penalties were composed of 19 Gross Penalties and 20 Match Penalties. Last year our numbers were 23 Gross Penalties and 19 Match Penalties. The bulk of the Match Penalties called were again 6.1 Attempt to injure, and the Gross Penalties were rule 4.7. Just one note there was a significant increase of Match 9.6 - Physical Harassment of a referee. This was also a busy year for teams traveling out of our district. I approved 312 travel requests for teams to leave the Island to play in tournaments. Tournament team approval was also up for this year too, thanks to a great Tournament team tournament that Powell River puts on each year. We also hosted two BC Hockey championships: Comox Valley Minor Hockey Association hosted a 7 team Midget Tier 1 tournament and Tri Port Minor Hockey hosted the Bantam Tier 3 tournament. Both associations had a great group of volunteers that made these tournaments outstanding. I would like to thank Mike Fraser (Spike) for supervising the Midget Tier 1 for me. I once again thanks to everyone that I have worked with this year way too many to name individually. What I would like to mention that this year’s BC Hockey AGM is a very important one, in which BC Hockey is continuing the Governance change. I ask you to review all the information given to you for this important vote at this year’s AGM. If you have any questions regarding the upcoming changes, please feel free to ask. Once again I would like to thank-you and your families for all the time you volunteer in helping make this game of hockey a great sport on Vancouver Island. Respectfully submitted, Deborah Turney

FEMALE HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Teri Cotton, Coordinator Female Hockey Development The Female Hockey Development Committee was changed this year, by recommendations from the Governance Review, to be more of a working group, than the previous structure of a committee. This new structure, allowed us to work with people, who were interested in the promotion of female hockey throughout the province. The Coordinator for Female Hockey Development, heads this group and their role is to provide information, assistance, communication, experience, etc. to help these volunteers meet the goals of their district, and in creating female hockey programs/initiatives. This group of Female Hockey Zone Representatives attended video conference calls throughout the season and gave a report, each time on the progress of female hockey in their district and shared challenges, successes, and ongoing issues and ideas with the rest of the group. All BC Hockey programs and female hockey initiatives were presented on these calls and events were discussed with lots of input from the reps. Representatives were asked to promote these events and encourage associations to support female hockey with assisting in making these successful in their district. One of our most exciting promotions in the last few years has been the World Girl’s Hockey (WGH) Day/Weekend held in October. Hockey Canada and BC Hockey are partners in putting this event on and with the help of our zone representatives; this year’s WGH weekend was the most successful one

so far. Associations across BC held female games, Esso Fun Days and other events to recognize female hockey on this special weekend. The Longest Game, which features five continuous female games running from coast to coast, ended in BC with games hosted in Duncan (Atom), Vernon (Pee Wee), Richmond (Bantam), Prince George (Midget) and Whitehorse Yukon (Senior). As the Coordinator, this year I had the pleasure of being invited to speak at a meeting in Vernon, for Thompson/Okanagan Association female representatives, in September. I chaired the video meetings we held for the zone reps and have attended the Development Committee meetings. I was thrilled to be able to help co-host an Esso Fun Days for World Girl’s Hockey Weekend in October. There is nothing more rewarding than being out on the ice, with new female players, who were smiling ear to ear when handed a hockey stick and a WGH jersey. I was also asked to help a BC Hockey Senior Female Rep team, with issues regarding ice for their league and have been working with the Senior Female Rec teams to create opportunities for players to keep playing after graduating from minor hockey. We will be presenting a Female Development Seminar at the AGM in June, so planning and creating the agenda for that is the current project.
MINOR HOCKEY COMMITTEE REPORT John Gillen, Chair of Minor The BC Minor Hockey Committee met twice in person and once via Video Conference during the 2014-2015 season.

Monthly video conferences were held with each of the BC Hockey Minor Hosts. The utilization of technology through the video conferences enabled constant communication with our Hosts and sharing of knowledge. Additionally it allowed for potential problems to be solved before becoming larger issues. Solving the issues prior to the Championship allowed for a smoother.

Clinics BC Hockey has been utilizing a program developed electronic presentation for the past two (2) seasons to guide HCOP instructors during clinics. This presentation has been refined over the past season and a full review of the content began April 14, 2015. This review is to refine and improve upon the product to make it more interactive and create an enhanced experience during the certification process. All NEW officials are required to complete the Hockey Canada Officiating 1/2 Online course prior to registering for the local HCOP clinic to ensure they are receiving the nationally required training as part of the HCOP program. In 2014 – 2015 the Officiating Program introduced online clinics by way of video conference for specific program groups. These included HCOP Instructors, program staff and Above Minor officials. The purpose of this was to reduce the number of clinics required for these small groups that are geographically spread out. The online clinic allowed the program to reduce costly face to face clinics with these groups and send a consistent message out across the province to the HCOP leadership by way of a consolidated video clinic. Exams were administered online during these clinics for both multiple choice and written formats.

was implemented as a prerequisite to registration. CRCs were made available online in conjunction with the BC Ministry of Justice at no charge to the official. To date only twenty (20) officials registered for the 2014 – 2015 season were identified as not completing a CRC. This new process saw a nearly 95% reduction in outstanding CRCs come the December 31st deadline. Development New for the 2014 – 2015 season the BC Hockey Officiating program launched a Minor Supervision Program. The program supervisory staff consisted of the twelve (12) District Officiating Coordinators, Minor Development Coordinator, Female Officiating Coordinator, Referee in Chief and eighteen (18) additional minor supervisors spread across the province. The program was conducted by assigning the above supervisors to attend Minor Hockey Association tournaments at the Pee Wee to Midget levels and conducting supervisions that were then documented online using the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR). The Minor supervision program visited eighty-four (84) Minor Hockey Associations and inputted 1159 supervisions on the HCR.

The goal of the Minor Development Program is to expand upon the impact it has had in the first year of implementation. The continued use of the online submission of supervisions will be integral to the feedback provided to the officials. Video feedback has been experimented with at select tournaments to enhance the educational experience. Going forward the officiating program hopes to have a presence under this program at every MHA that has an officiating program a minimum of once annually. Female Officiating Development For the third consecutive season a minor female development camp was held in Kamloops. Eighteen (18) female officials participated in the camp from November 7-9. Each official was supervised in a minimum of three (3) games and the participants attended two (2) games at the 4 Nations Cup that was being hosted in Kamloops during that weekend. The Female Officiating program is working hard at creating a High Performance component to the development model. In cooperation with the Female AAA Midget league and the BC Hockey Female High Performance program it is expected that this will be possible over the next few seasons. Cydnie Rice of Invermere and Nicole Neufeld of Prince George represented BC Hockey at the Canada Winter Games. Cydnie Rice also participated in the CIS National Championships in addition to becoming the first female official to officiate a regular season game in the BCHL at the Male Tier II level.
