Addendum # 1 - Rep Hockey Regulations

Section A – Introduction

  1. What is Rep Hockey?
    1. Rep hockey is the culmination of player skills, attitude and desire coupled with the coaching experience, training and dedication to form a Surrey team to play against the best players from other associations. The Rep teams play in a league which permits players to play against players of equal ability. It permits each player to improve his/her skills and character to play at the next higher individual and team skill level.
    2. Rep process is a year long activity which includes the coach and player selection process. We must remember that rep tryouts are a stressful time not only for the players and parents but for the coaches and volunteers who each year must co-ordinate this facet of our associations program. The policies and procedures that are specific to the Rep hockey system are outlined in this addendum and will be in addition to the regular policies and procedures. This will allow all participants to know in advance what they are entitled to and how all the facets of the Rep process are run.
    3. Rep hockey may be an expensive proposition to parents and players who must consider this before applying to play on a Rep team. There are additional expenses for travel, additional game and practice ice, tournaments and miscellaneous expenses such as team jackets, an additional pair of team socks as well as street dress clothes to satisfy the association dress code standards.
    4. Surrey Minor Hockey Association expects that all Rep coaches, team officials, players and parents will set a high standard of conduct and good sportsmanship towards referees, other players, team officials and parents. This not only applies to your own team but to all teams within our own association and other association with whom you have contact.
    5. In general, Surrey Minor Hockey Association will have two "A" teams in the Atom division, one AAA team and two "B" teams in the Peewee, Bantam and Midget divisions along with one AAA Juvenile team. The categories and numbers of teams in any division may increase or decrease dependent on the availability of ice and players in any given season.

Section B - Coaches Selection

  1. The Rep hockey process begins in April of each year when Surrey Minor Hockey Association advertises in the local newspapers and other media for prospective coaches to apply by a selected date. The candidates for the Rep coaches’ positions apply by completing the Rep coaches’ application. When the application submission deadline is passed, the association Head Coach arranges for ½ hour interviews for each applicant with the selection committee.
  2. The selection committee is composed of the Head Coach/Coach Co-ordinator and two other members approved by the Executive Council. If the Head Coach/Coach Coordinator has applied for a team, then the selection committee for the division for which they have applied, shall be comprised of three other members approved by the Executive Council.
  3. Each candidate is asked the same preselected questions in order to permit an evaluation of the replies for each candidate.
    1. No appeal shall be accepted for non selection as a coach.
  4. Criteria used in coaches selection:
    1. Coaching Certification - applicant "MUST" be certified at the Hockey Canada (NCCP) Development 1 Level (formerly called the Intermediate Level).

    3. Have taken or will take the Speak Out course prior to the start of league play.
    4. Years of coaching experience.
    5. First consideration will be given to applicants within Surrey Minor Hockey Association; however total qualifications/experience will be the determining factor in the final selection.
    6. A coach's son/daughter does not automatically make the team because she/he is the coach.
      1. In the event a coach’s son/daughter is a goaltender separate goaltender evaluations may be conducted by an outside evaluation committee to determine a proper assessment of the player.
      2. A coach's daughter/son who does not qualify for the team, as evaluated by a committee, will be removed from the team.
        1. Results of any separate evaluation of players shall be relayed only to the association evaluation committee and the President.
        2. The selected coach who has been advised that his/her daughter/son would not make the team has the option of remaining with the team or surrendering the team and leaving with his son/daughter.

The largest number of players is at the "C" level and it is important that a large amount of emphasis is placed on this area of hockey within our association.
  2. Surrey Minor Hockey Association expects that all "C" coaches, team officials, players and parents will set a high standard of conduct and good sportsmanship towards referees, other players, team officials and parents. This not only applies to your own team but to all teams within our own association and other associations with whom you have contact.
  3. It is important that the coach and other team officials keep not only their players but especially their parents informed of all the policies and decisions made throughout the season. The hockey season is a long one and it becomes even longer if team officials do not keep a good communication line open with parents and players.
  4. Parents and players have the right to know all the information supplied to the coach and other team officials. Any matters relating to the operation of the team, i.e.: team funds should be available upon request to any member of the team or the executive committee. The team is a group of people working together for a common purpose not just one or two individuals.
  5. This communication holds true with the "C" Division Manager and the Executive Committee. You as a coach should keep abreast of and supply any information needed or requested by the executive and they should in turn keep you advised of pertinent information.
  6. Surrey Minor Hockey Association exists with the help of you and other volunteers and by working within our group for the best interests of the association all participants will have an enjoyable season.

Section B - Coaches Selection

  1. The selection of "C" hockey coaches within Surrey Minor Hockey Association begins when the parent or interested person may apply to be a coach or assistant coach on a "C" team. These expressions of interest are forwarded to the association Head Coach who will send to the individual applicant, a coach application form. The completed applications will be collected and the names and recommendations will be forwarded to the Division Manager.

Section F - Evaluations

  1. In preparation for the "C" evaluation skates, a list of players for each age group, Initiation through Midget, shall be prepared by the registrar. The Division Manager(s) and Vice President responsible for that division will divide the players into even groups in the following manner.
  2. Each group will consist of an equal number of forwards, defensemen and goaltenders as follows:
    1. 1st and 2nd year previous rep players

These numbered jerseys are used to identify the individual players. At the end of the final session, all of the numbered jerseys must be returned.
  8. The bib with unique number must be returned by each player after the last evaluation skate.
  9. Evaluation skates are mandatory and all "C" players must attend. Any player refusing to attend evaluation skates without a valid reason shall have his/her registration refunded and a player from the waiting list shall assume her/his position.
    1. The Division Manager and Vice President responsible for the division shall make the final decision as to the validity of the refusal.

Section K - Parent/Player Requests

  1. Parent Requests:
    1. All parent requests are to be read into the record prior to the start of the draft for the information of all coaches.
    2. These requests should be honoured whenever possible.
  2. Player Requests:
    1. If a majority decision is made prior to the start of the draft to accommodate special player requests then when one (1) of the players is drafted the other player becomes a protection in the round in which he would be available for the draft.
  3. Only one request per team.

Section L - Draft

  1. Protected players will be automatically selected in the draft round in which they are ranked (i.e.: if there are ten (10) teams then players ranked from 1-10 will be drafted in round one; players 11-20 in round two; 21-30 in round three and so on).
    1. The coach's/team official's sibling(s) will automatically be drafted in the round in which they are rated.
    2. Two (2) first round draft picks cannot be drafted on the same team regardless if they are the selected coach and his/her selected assistant or team official's child.

  4. Round four of the draft shall be designated as the goaltender round in the Atom to Midget divisions.
    1. The first selection of available goaltenders shall go to the team with the highest sum of the rankings of players in the first three rounds. The second selection of available goaltenders goes to the team with the next highest sum of the rankings of the players in the first three rounds, and etc.
    2. If there are insufficient goaltenders for one per team, the rule in sub-paragraph (a) will apply until the numbers are exhausted.
    3. If two goaltenders are equally available per team the reverse order of sub paragraph (b) will be followed for the second round of the goaltender selections.
    4. If there are insufficient goaltenders for an equal number per team, the unselected goalies will be added to the end of the draft list in the order they appear in the goalie draft list. They will be assigned the next sequentially higher ranking of the highest ranked player. These goalies will be selected in rotation as if they were non goalies.
    5. Goaltenders are not designated as goaltenders within P.C.A.H.A. competition and those teams drafting three goaltenders may have the second or third goaltender play out during the game in which he/she is not in the back up role.
  5. The goaltenders draft round will not alter the teams total score, therefore the drafting order in rounds four (4) and five (5) will be the same except when not all teams were able to select a goaltender. In this event, the teams will enter round five of the player’s draft, starting with the team that would have had the next selection in the goaltender round. This will continue until all teams that do not have a goaltender have selected. At this point, all teams with goaltenders will select players in the reverse of the sequence in which they selected goaltenders. The players selected due to this provision will have their rankings added into the team's total.
  6. Each team will be allowed to select one (1) player in each round.
  7. In the first four (4) rounds of the player draft, each team will be able to select from any of the highest ranked available players down to the number of teams in the division (ie: if there are 10 teams, then the first team to draft in round one may select from players ranked 1-10; the second team may select down to the player ranked 11th; the third team may select down to the player ranked 12th; etc.).

  9. When a player is selected the ranking of the player is added to the team’s total score.
  10. Teams will be allowed one (1) trade at the end of the draft with the agreement of the Division Manager and the unanimous consent of all the coaches present.

Addendum # 5 - Hearing Guidelines

  1. When conducting and attending Appeal or disciplinary hearings it is important that the process be fair. Those Committee members who preside at hearings must be open minded and polite no matter what the provocation. Remember at the end of the hearing it is important that both sides feel they have been given a fair and honest hearing.
  2. Read the rules which apply to the particular case before you and ensure you bring all pertinent rule books or associated papers with you.
  3. Ensure you have paper and pen with you to take notes. A member, but preferably a non committee member, should be delegated to record the minutes of the hearing.
  4. Before the hearing begins, review all material which has been filed and note any questions that you may wish to ask.
  5. Arrive well before the meeting in order to discuss the procedures to be followed with fellow committee members.
  6. Before the hearing starts, do not talk to the parties who will appear before you, unless it is to say simply "hello" or to advise someone where the washroom is. Nothing is more disconcerting to the other side than to see a member of the tribunal in conversation with the other side, even if it only relates to pleasantries.
  7. Make sure that the room where the hearing is to take place is properly set up before the hearing starts. If the furniture needs to be rearranged, do this before the scheduled time for the commencement of the hearing.
  8. Call the hearing to order, describe the procedure to be followed. Introduce the committee members. It is not a good idea to have both parties in the room at the same time as this may lead to outbursts and could intensify antagonism between the two parties. It is suggested that you listen to and question each party separately.
  9. Make sure both parties understand the procedure to be used. Whoever has the onus of establishing the facts is heard first.
  10. All committee members should have pencil and paper ready to make notes of pertinent facts and questions stemming from the presentations.
  11. The members of the tribunal once having heard the evidence presented should remain in the room after hearing both parties to consider their decision. The parties involved in the hearing should be sent home with advice that the chairperson will be contact the two parties by phone once a decision is agreed upon.
  12. Once a decision is reached write it out promptly giving the reasons for the decision. All members of the committee should agree to its content before it is sent out. The letter should be set up as follows:
    1. Describe the issue
    2. Set forth the relevant facts
    3. Summarize in brief form each sides argument
    4. State the committee findings
    5. State clearly the committees decision
  13. The reasons do not need to be long but they must be clear and deal with the issues raised.
  14. The committee chairperson should contact the parties advising them of the decision as soon as possible after the decision. The written decision should be mailed to the individual(s) facing the disciplinary action. The letter should also state the procedure available to them within Surrey Minor Hockey Association to appeal the committee decision.
  15. Once the hearing is terminated leave the area immediately and do not talk to the parties involved if they are in the area.
  16. Aggrieved parties
    1. Come to the meeting prepared to discuss the issues at hand.
    2. Ensure that you fully research the issue at hand and bring all pertinent material with you. You should include a pen and paper to write notes.
    3. It is recommended that you have your appeal written out and organized prior to coming to the hearing to ensure that all points are covered.
    4. Do not engage the other parties or the committee members in conversation that could lead to further disciplinary action against you. Once you have completed your presentation leave the area immediately as you will be contacted by phone of the decision.

Addendum # 6 - Disciplinary Hearing Guidelines

  1. It is unfortunate but from time to time it becomes necessary to discipline persons who do not operate in a fair manner in accordance with the rules and regulations of our association. The process for conducting a disciplinary hearing within this association is set out below. It is important that the process be seen as fair and all those persons presiding over a hearing must have an open mind.
  2. Chair Person and Committee Members:
    1. Read over the rules which apply in the particular case before you.
    2. Bring the rule book, as well as a pen, pencil and paper to take notes.
    3. Bring all relevant materials which have been filed for the appeal and ensure you make note of any relevant questions you may need answered.
    4. Arrive in good time for the hearing.
    5. Do "NOT" talk to the parties who will appear before you prior to the hearing.
    6. Make sure that the room where the hearing is to take place is properly set up and furniture rearranged as required prior to the start of the meeting. Any materials required should also be set out before the hearing starts.
    7. Make notes when something strikes you as important.
  3. Call the meeting to order. Have parties from either side come in to the hearing room separately. Do not allow both sides in the room at the same time as this may lead to outbursts and intensify the antagonism between the parties. Each side is to be listened to and questioned separately. Describe the procedure to be followed to each party in turn and introduce the members of the committee.
  4. Whoever has the onus of establishing the facts should be heard first.
  5. At the end of each side's presentation, if you have a question, ask it. Do not interrupt the presentation unless absolutely necessary for the purpose of clarification.
  6. Vulgarity as well as loud and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated from any of the parties and should this happen the hearing will be adjourned to allow parties to calm down. If this does not occur the chairperson may suspend the hearing to another date.
  7. Upon the completion of testimony from the involved parties they should be asked to leave the premises to avoid any conflicts outside the hearing room. The Committee members upon the completion of the hearing should retire for their deliberations.
  8. The decision of the Committee members should be written out promptly giving reasons set out in the following manner.
    1. Describe the issue.
    2. Set forth the relevant facts.
    3. Summarize in brief form each side's argument.
    4. State your findings.
    5. State your decision.
  9. The reasons need not be long but they should be clear and concise and deal with the issues raised.
  10. The written decision should be mailed to the individual(s) facing disciplinary action and the appeal procedures should be outlined to them.
  11. At the end of the hearing, after deliberations, leave the area and go home. Under no circumstances should the Committee members talk to the parties involved prior to the decision being delivered by the Chairperson.
  12. Remember: It is important that both sides feel they have had a fair hearing.

Addendum # 7 - A.G.M. Guidelines

  1. Finding your way around the A.G.M.
    1. Association Annual General Meetings are very important. It is at the general association meetings that the most significant decisions are made about the direction the association will take and the issues that will receive attention. Any member in good standing who wishes to have a say in the affairs of the association must attend and participate in association meetings.
    2. Association meetings are conducted according to the rules of parliamentary procedure. The rules of parliamentary procedure have been developed over decades of parliamentary experience in order to ensure that meetings are run efficiently and democratically. Minor Hockey Associations have adapted these rules to give structure to important association meetings from executive meetings to Annual and Semi Annual meetings. Although some members find parliamentary procedure to be formal and strange at first, after a while it becomes clear to all members that association business could not be properly conducted without procedural rules. Association meetings would not run smoothly if all members could speak at the same time, if debates were not focused by formal motions and if decisions were not reached by majority vote.
    3. It is not necessary to be an expert in the rules of parliamentary procedure in order to participate in an association meeting. An appreciation of the basic elements is usually enough to allow any member to orient her or his self to the democratic process.
  2. Some of the common elements of a typical association meeting are:
    1. Quorum
      1. There is usually a minimum number of members in good standing who must be present in order for a general meeting to take place. In Surrey Minor Hockey Association a quorum at a general meeting of the association is thirty (30) members plus a majority of the elected Executive Council (four (4) or more).
      2. A quorum at Executive Committee meetings is four (4) or more members of the Executive Council.
    2. Chairperson
      1. The President of the association usually acts as the Chair person of the meeting. The Chairperson is responsible for ensuring that democratic procedures are respected during the meeting. This means that the chairperson makes decision on how the meeting will be conducted. These decisions, however, can be challenged and overturned by a majority vote.
      2. In Surrey Minor Hockey Association, the Chairman can propose motions.
    3. Agenda
      1. The agenda is the list which sets out the issues that will be discussed at a particular meeting and the order in which the issues will be discussed. The agenda helps to give form to the meeting by alerting those in attendance to what is coming up next.
      2. The agenda may be changed in order to meet the needs and expectations of those attending the meeting.
    4. Reports
      1. Much of the time at any association meeting is taken up with the business of bringing members up to date on what the Executive and various committees have been doing since the last meeting. This information is usually presented in the form of a report, sometimes oral and sometimes written or both.
      2. Reports are usually given by the Officer most directly involved with the matter.
      3. The Treasurers report is usually given a special position on the agenda since the financial position of the association often has a bearing on many of the discussions that take place on other matters.
      4. Reports usually end with a motion to "Accept" the report. This motion is taken as a formal approval of the report; in short the membership is satisfied that the report is accurate, complete, and that the members understand its content. This does not necessarily mean that the membership accepts the situation described in the report. For example, the association may vote to accept the report of the treasurer that the association is deeply in debt. This doesn't mean that the members accept that the association will continue in debt, only that the members "accept" the accuracy of the report.
      5. Reports may also include recommendations for action. For example, the Treasurer may recommend that in order to get out of financial difficulties the association should increase registration fees. This recommendation would take the form of a motion.
    5. Motions
      1. Motions are used to focus the discussion of the association to ensure that matters are dealt with in a logical way and that the meeting stays on track. The member presenting the motion begins with the words "I move that..." and then states her/his motion.
      2. Before debate can begin the motion must be "seconded". Someone who agrees with the motion, or at least agrees that the motion should be debated, can second the motion by saying "I second the motion". Once it has been duly seconded, the motion can be debated.
      3. Motions must be presented in writing and received by the Secretary no later than 30 days prior to the A.G.M. NO motions are accepted from the floor.
      4. It is possible for a member to propose that a motion be changed before it is voted on. This is known as "a motion to amend". The motion to amend will not be acceptable if it contradicts the original motion. For example if the motion is to increase association fees by 10%, a motion to amend that the association fees be raised by 0% would not be acceptable, because it only contradicts the original motion.
      5. It is a good idea to prepare the motion before the meeting by putting it in writing and providing copies for other members in attendance. This assists in the debate and helps to avoid confusion over the meaning. If the motion is not in writing, then the Secretary should write out the motion as proposed.
    6. Debate
      1. After a motion has been seconded it is open to debate. If there are a number of members who wish to speak, the chair should keep a speakers list, and all those who wish to speak should have a chance before anyone is allowed to speak twice.
      2. The chair allows only one member to speak at a time. Other members cannot interrupt the speaker. The speaker must talk only about the motion that is being debated.
      3. If a lengthy debate is expected on a given issue, the Chair might suggest a time limit for each speaker, for example three minutes. Such time limits should be enforced in the same manner for every speaker.
      4. If the debate is lengthy the motion should be read out loud once just before it is voted on.
    7. Voting
      1. The chair may make a judgment call to end debate if it appears that the issue has been thoroughly discussed and that members are ready to vote. Members may also try to have the matter voted upon by calling out "QUESTION" which indicates to the Chairperson that he or she should "call the question", i.e. hold the vote. After hearing the call for the question, the chairperson may decide to "test the floor", i.e. ask for a show of hands as to whether the vote should be held.
      2. The motion is voted upon after debate is concluded. The vote is now held and if dealing with the constitution or bylaws requires a 75% majority to pass. All other motions require a simply majority to pass.
      3. The vote may be by a show of hands or by secret ballot depending on the importance of the motion. Any member may make the motion that the vote be taken by secret ballot.
    8. New Business
      1. At one point in the meeting the chairperson will ask if there is any new business. This part of the meeting is important for members who wish to bring their concerns to the attention of the rest of the members of the association. New business provides individual members with an opportunity to present a motion calling for the association to taken action on an issue or to adopt a specific policy.
    9. Adjournment
      1. The motion to adjourn is a special motion to bring the meeting to an end. Such a motion is not subject to debate. Usually the chairperson will ask for a motion to adjourn once the meeting has dealt with all of the points on the agenda.
      2. For additional information refer to Roberts Rules of Order.

Addendum # 11 - Risk Management Guidelines

  1. Introduction
    1. Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime to anyone. The risk of accidents is heightened in sports which involve physical contact, like hockey. Where physical contact is involved, there is always the potential for serious injuries, such as serious spinal injuries, which inflict hardship on victims and their families for a lifetime. Serious injuries also carry the risk of litigation, where people and organizations are sued for negligence.
    2. Risk management is pro-active approach to safety which helps to identify and eliminate or minimize risks and prevent injuries and accidents before they happen. Risk management is any organization's best defence against accidents and injuries.
  2. What is it?
    1. Risk management is the process by which an organization identifies, assesses, controls and eliminates or minimizes the risk of bodily injury or financial loss arising from activities.
    2. Risk management is the process by which an association or team reviews its activities, programs and operating procedures (including buildings, staff and volunteers) to identify, understand and eliminate or minimize the everyday risks confronted in operating an organized hockey program.
    3. Risk management consists of four (4) basic steps, performed in a logical sequence:
      1. Identifying the risks connected with an activity (e.g. game, practice, dressing room, parking lot, travel plans, fundraisers, dry land training).
      2. Assessing the relative significance of all on-ice and off-ice risks.
      3. Eliminating or minimizing identified risks.
      4. Funding or providing insurance as protection against unavoidable risks.
  3. The First Line of Defence:
    1. The first three steps must be carried out effectively, or no insurance or other funds that may be set aside will be adequate for the purpose or insuring against unavoidable risks: no funds would be able to contain the claims costs that would arise from a risk exposure that is uncontrolled and unmanaged. A pro-active risk management program is our first line of defence and insurance is our last line of defence, the last resort when all risk management efforts have failed.
  4. Safety Requires Teamwork:
    1. While step two, assessing the significance of risks, and step 4, providing insurance or other funding, require advanced training and expertise, we must all play a role in steps 1 and 3: the identification, and minimization or elimination of avoidable risks. Everybody involved in hockey in Surrey is a member of the Association Risk management Team: player, coach, administrator, parent, on-ice official, off-ice official, other volunteer (manager, trainer, and statistician), spectator, arena management and employee.
    2. Remember risk management is an ongoing process, not a one-time activity: like electricity, it is present for as long as we are prepared to generate it. The best approach is always a common sense approach: be aware of all the risks involved in a hockey-related activity, and if you are ever in doubt, err on the side of caution.
  5. As a member of Surrey Minor Hockey Association, you have a role to play in the identification and minimization or elimination of risks related to your event. The following are some guidelines to help you implement an effective risk management program with your event.
    1. On-ice Safety
      1. Before and during your event, it is the organizing committee's responsibility to monitor the playing area for any potential safety hazards. All involved with the on-ice portion of your event should identify, and minimize or eliminate all risks and strive to make the playing area as safe as possible. The following are some guidelines to help you to monitor on-ice safety hazards with your event.
        1. Before each ice session, carefully check the playing area to ensure that:
        2. Ensure there is no debris, dangerous ruts, bumps or bare spots on the ice surface.
        3. There are no protrusions from the boards, glass or screen.
        4. Supporting struts for glass or wire screen, or upright posts are padded.
        5. There is no garbage on the floor of the players' bench area that may become stuck on the blades of the players' skates (e.g. tape) or other matter that may damage skate blades.
        6. The entire arena lighting system is turned on and functioning: always practice in lighting conditions similar to those which exist for games.
        7. All gates are securely and properly closed.
        8. The arena management staff has been monitoring air quality in the arena for dangerous gases.
        9. Ensure that players are wearing proper full protective equipment, including CSA approved helmet, face mask and throat protector, for all games and practices.
        10. It is strongly recommended that all coaches wear helmets when running on-ice practice sessions, and that coaches are fully aware and careful when participating on the ice.
        11. Players should prepare for practices and games with proper stretching and warm up routines, and encourage players to stretch following on-ice sessions.
        12. Never allow players, coaches and other personnel to go onto the ice until the ice resurfacing machine is completely off the ice surface and its rink gates are securely closed.
        13. During ice sessions, ensure that all activities are appropriate for the age and skill level of the players participating, and utilize proper teaching progressions, especially when teaching potentially dangerous skills like body checking.
        14. A strong message must be delivered to all participants that checking from behind will not be tolerated, and that players should never bump, push or check another player from behind, especially one who is in the danger zone, the 3-4 metre area in front of the boards.
        15. During ice sessions, ensure that coaches and assistants have 100% control over all activities at all times, and that players are supervised at all times: there should be at least one coach on the ice at all times with the players.
        16. During practices, enforce all rules that apply during games and establish consistent team rules for dangerous behaviour like stick work and checking from behind.
        17. During practices, ensure that periodic rest periods are included where players drink sufficient amounts of cold water: tired, dehydrated players are more susceptible to injury.
        18. During games, encourage officials to strictly and consistently enforce all rules regardless of the score and time of game, and work with coaches, officials and administrators in our association to ensure all rules are enforced consistently.
        19. Be aware of all special illnesses (e.g. asthma, allergies, and diabetes) of participants and previous injuries, and never take a chance with any potential illnesses or injuries.
        20. During games, remind players, coaches and other team personnel in the bench area to always be aware of the action on the ice, following the play in order to be prepared for the puck or other objects that may suddenly enter the bench area.
        21. During on-ice sessions or games, anyone going onto the ice surface in street shoes to attend to an injured player should walk carefully, exercise caution and use a player or official for support where possible.
        22. During Opening, Closing or any on-ice ceremonies, ensure that a proper "T" carpet is in position for dignitaries or other participants to walk on the ice surface: the carpet must have a proper rubber backing which grips the ice, must reach completely from the ice surface entrance to centre ice, and must rest flat on the ice, free from bumps and debris. All players on the ice during ceremonies must be wearing full protective equipment including helmets and face masks.
        23. Emphasize that anybody entering the ice surface, including dignitaries, singers and photographers, must exercise caution and walk only on the carpet provided: no one should ever walk on the bare ice surface in street shoes. Guides should be provided for any dignitaries or others requiring assistance.
        24. During Opening and Closing Ceremonies, ensure that all participating teams, bands or members of special skating displays are aware of risks such as carpets, tables and other participants on the ice surface, and that no-one enters the ice surface until the ice resurfacing machine is completely off the ice.
        25. Before Opening, Closing or any on-ice ceremonies, ensure that the ice surface is free from bumps, ruts, bare spots or debris, proper lighting is in use at all times and that arena staff have been monitoring air quality for any dangerous toxins.
        26. Ensure that no-one, who is under the influence of drugs, or alcohol, participates in any, on or off-ice, activities.
        27. All team pictures should be taken off of the ice surface, and photographers should never go onto the ice surface in street shoes to take pictures unless a proper rubber backed carpet is in place.
        28. If teams have practice time during your event, insist that all players wear full protective equipment and that all risks in the playing area are identified and minimized or eliminated.
    2. Off-ice Safety
      1. As a member of this association many of your responsibilities are off-ice activities. Here are some guidelines to help you implement an effective risk management program to enhance off-ice safety:
        1. Do not sign any rink rental agreement or other contract until it is reviewed by the National Insurance Program Director.
        2. Work closely with arena management and staff to ensure that:
          1. Dressing rooms are free from debris, cleaned regularly, properly lit and checked for any electrical or fire hazard.
          2. All teams and officials know the location of Fire Exits and First Aid Kits within the arena facility, and that all Fire Exits are accessible.
          3. The bench and penalty box areas are free from tape or other debris that may become fastened to or damage skate blades.
          4. Solid rubber padding or other non-slip surface is available for participants and officials to walk on from the dressing room area to the ice surface, which is free from debris and ruts or bumps and that hallways are properly lit and free from electrical and fire hazards.
          5. Concessions if run by the Association, are free from electrical and fire hazards, and that any volunteers are trained in the operation of all appliances and equipment, and are aware of all hazards within the concession area.
          6. Walkways and parking lots leading to arena entrances are free from snow, ice, water or debris and any hazards are clearly marked.
          7. Any banners are securely and safely fastened and that all safety precautions are taken in the hanging of any banners or signs.
          8. All wet floors and spills are attended to quickly to help make sure no-one slips on any wet surfaces.
        3. Players must be supervised at all times, including in the dressing room and while proceeding to the ice surface.
        4. Ensure that only qualified personnel work with television equipment and that cables and wires are positioned so they do not pose a danger to anybody.
        5. Ensure that all press areas are free from hangers such as fire hazards or wet floors, and if there is a suspended press box in the arena facility, caution media members and others using it about the dangers of dropping debris onto the crowd below.
        6. When organizing banquets, team meals or other events where food and beverages will be served, ensure that you utilize a reliable, responsible catering company that all food is prepared properly, and all health standards have been observed. Also, be aware of special diets and food allergies of any of the participants.
        7. Ensure that all potential billets are carefully screened and that only responsible, reliable billets, who meet the standards outlined by the CHA, are chosen. Inform billets of any special needs of the players they will be billeting, including illnesses, medication and dosage guidelines and any special dietary requirements.
        8. Monitor weather and road conditions during all events and keep all drivers informed: do not take any chances with unsafe road conditions. Those involved with transporting teams, organizers, officials and other participants must never consume alcohol before operating a motor vehicle, and no-one involved in the tournament should ever have alcohol in their possession while travelling in a motor vehicle. Select only reliable, responsible adults to transport participants during the event and to drive any courtesy vehicles.
        9. Recruit only reliable, responsible adults to work as arena security personnel and ensure that fan and gate control are part of security personnel responsibilities. Security personnel should make spectator safety their first priority at all times.
        10. Make every effort to ensure that off-ice officials make safety the first priority at all times and that penalty box attendants exercise caution when dealing with players.
        11. Recruit only reliable, responsible adults to act as team hosts and liaisons, and insist that hosts and liaisons make safety the first priority in all activities with visiting teams.
        12. For additional guidelines regarding risks within the arena facility, both on and off the ice, please refer to Arena Safety Checklist, Appendix "H".
    3. Fair Play and Respect
      1. When hockey participants embrace the values and philosophy of Fair Play, it leads to attitudes and behaviour which make the game safer for all. Fair Play and respect should be a component of all Association events.
      2. Host committee members play an important role in emphasizing the importance of Fair Play to all participants and others involved with an event. Here are some guidelines to help you deliver the Fair Play message:
        1. Ensure that on and off-ice officials, coaches and captains are aware of the Fair Play Initiative and Announcement which should take place before every game if a announcement system is being utilized. The Initiative and Announcement are outlined on page one of the CHA Rule Book, and require only 15 seconds to complete.
        2. When meeting with participating teams, emphasize the importance of Fair Play to players, coaches and other team officials, and insist that the principles of Fair Play govern their behaviour during all activities. This message can also be delivered to officials and parents. Fair Play Codes for athletes, coaches, officials, parents, spectators and association officials are included at the front of this guidebook and it is strongly recommended that you ensure that these are visibly posted for all participants by the beginning of your event.
    4. Emergency Planning and First Aid
      1. It is important that all people involved with your event to do everything possible to prevent accidents and injuries before they happen. However, while everyone must play a proactive role to identify and eliminate or minimize risks, everybody must also be prepared to react in the event of a serious injury. The following are some guidelines to help you implement effective Emergency Planning and First Aid at your event.
        1. Recruit only reliable, responsible doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, St John's ambulance attendants or other medical professionals such as a certified athletic therapist as medical support staff for your event.
        2. Ensure that each team has an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place and that someone familiar with your arena and community assists the Call Person and Control Person on each team with directing emergency personnel to the arena and ice surface. Review the enclosed outline of the Emergency Action Plan and ensure that medical support staff, who will be at the arena at all times, review each teams' Emergency Action Plan with team personnel. If your event does not involve individual teams, you should implement an EAP for your event.
        3. Ensure that every team knows the location of telephones, First Aid kits and stations, stretchers, and fire Exits within the arena facility.
        4. Provide each team with an emergency telephone directory including numbers for the doctor and dentist on call, the physiotherapist or certified athletic therapist, any emergency numbers (911 if applicable), including ambulance service, police, fire department and any other important numbers.
    5. Emergency Action Plan
      1. With your involvement in various physical activities, whether as a coach, trainer or participant, an encounter with a potential serious injury is a possibility. Recognizing this, it is essential to establish a plan for emergency procedures.
      2. Time, becomes of critical importance with a severe injury. An emergency plan should be established to deal with it in an organized and efficient manner. By pre-planning to handle an emergency and designating support duties to others, time will be utilized effectively.
      3. During a game or practice players at any level of hockey may become injured and require attention.
      4. Team and rink personnel should prepare for any emergency situation. It is recommended that these people receive as much First Aid training as possible.
      5. Ideally, teams should have a qualified trainer or someone on the bench qualified in First Aid procedures. It is recommended that medically trained personnel be available to assist in the proper care of an injured player especially in the older age groups where injuries may be more common.
      6. Whether an injured player will recover completely and properly depends not only on the nature of the injury, but the emergency care and treatment the player receives.
      7. The action plan must be pre-determined. Discuss who will be responsible for each part of the plan before the season and before each game.
      8. The Emergency Action Plan includes three main areas of concentration:
        1. Person in Charge
          1. Where possible, the person in charge should be an individual with specialized training in injury care.
          2. The duties of the person in charge include all of the following:
          3. Initially, when coming in contact with the injured player, take control and assess the situation.
          4. Instruct any bystanders to leave the player alone.
          5. Do not move the player, leave any equipment in place.
          6. Evaluate the injury. This may include anything from an unconscious athlete to a sprained finger. Once you have assessed the severity of the injury, decide whether or not an ambulance is required.
          7. If you are certain that an ambulance is not needed, then decide what action is to be taken to remove the athlete from the playing surface.
          8. If an ambulance is required, then notify your call person, give a brief explanation of the injury and tell them to make the call for the ambulance.
          9. Once the call has been placed, observe the athlete carefully for any change in condition and try to calm and reassure the injured player until professional help arrives.
          10. STAY CALM - keep an even tone in your voice.
          11. Make note of the time when the injury occurred and keep track, of all events until medical assistance arrives.
        2. Call Person
          1. If it is necessary or advisable to summon emergency medical services and transportation, a call person should be preassigned to call for emergency services.
            1. Know the location of all emergency telephones.
            2. Have a list of all emergency numbers in the city or town in which the athletic event(s) is taking place (i.e. in the trainer’s kit).
            3. These numbers should be written on a wallet size card and carried at all times (Example: ambulance, hospital, fire department, and police).
            4. If possible, telephone numbers should be permanently placed by the emergency telephone.
            5. Display specific directions of the best route to the arena.
            6. Quarters should be carried at all times if the emergency telephone is a pay phone. If quarters are not available call the operator or 911.
            7. Don't rely on numbers being placed by the telephone.
            8. Don't rely on the operator to transfer the call or messages. Stay on the line until you are sure that the message has been given.
            9. STAY CALM when giving information.
          2. Information the Call Person must give the Dispatcher.
            1. State that it is a medical emergency.
            2. Give the location - clearly and calmly.
            3. State what the emergency is. Is the athlete conscious? Breathing normally? Bleeding, etc.
            4. Give the telephone number from which you are placing the call. This is in case they have to phone back for more information. Have someone stay by the phone if possible.
            5. Give the dispatcher the best route into the arena.
            6. Ask for the estimated time of arrival of the ambulance to the arena.
            7. Report back to person in charge and confirm that you have made the call and give the estimated time of arrival.
        3. Control Person
          1. For the Emergency Action Plan to be effective, someone must be assigned for crowd control.
            1. Discuss the plan with other people involved.
            2. Ensure that team mates and spectators are not in the way of the Person in Charge.
            3. Ensure that the route for the ambulance crew is clear and available.
            4. If the person in charge feels it is a serious injury, inquire if there is highly trained medical personnel available (i.e. Doctor, Nurse) in the arena by using the loud speaker or intercom system.
