Divisional Directors Needed

Hawks Family - We need your help!

 

We are seeking volunteers to join the board for next season. Specifically, we are looking to fill the following Director Roles:

 

Recreation:

U9

U11

U13

U15

U18

 

Competitive

U11

U13

 

In addition to taking on the responsibility for a division you will have the opportunity to shape how we manage the Hawks and enable us to continue to build a community across the association as a key board member.

 

These are critical roles to enable us to continue to operate so we encourage you to step up. Support will be provided to enable you to get up to speed and to get your division going.

 

A few key duties will include:

·        Organizing during competitive tryouts/recreation evaluations, jersey distribution, bench staff for these sessions

·        Managing parents’ expectations during the above sessions as well as throughout the season

·        You are the liaison between the board and the teams in your division.

·        Attend board meetings (one per month – usually the 3rd Wednesday of the month) and submit reports as requested.

·        Communicate with Operations Manager as needed.

·        Liaise with Technical Director as needed.

·        Occasionally attend practices or games to ensure all safety rules are being followed.

·        Discuss at board meetings how the player experience can be improved (as/if needed).

·        Attend Central Minor and Metro Minor meetings open to directors (if possible).

·        Communicate to teams re: suspensions from HNS and monitor as needed.

·        Please have a current Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Search, Respect in Sport (or Speak Out if you have previously taken this)

 

Please note we are dependent on our volunteers for all roles. If a director is not able to be identified, we may not be able to run these age groups next season. So please think about stepping up to help.

 

If you are interested in applying or have questions, please e-mail Craig Robinson (president@halifaxhawks.ca)

Hockey Canada Updated Dressing Room Policy

NEW HOCKEY CANADA DRESSING ROOM POLICY – PLEASE READ.

 

We want to draw your attention to the new Hockey Canada policy for dressing rooms.

 

https://cdn.hockeycanada.ca/hockey-canada/Hockey-Programs/Safety/Downloads/dressing-room-policy-e.pdf

 

It requires all players to always have their base layer on in the dressing room both before and after their ice session.

 

Please note that this policy is not gender based.

 

If players need to change into / out of their base layer, then this must use a washroom to do so.

 

 This applies to all ages and groups in minor hockey and is not something that a team or individual can opt out of.

 

Thank you in advance for your compliance.

 

Craig Robinson

President
