OLYMPIC UPDATE & IMPACT ON 2009-2010 SEASON

As everyone is aware, the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are less than a year away. This will be a very important and exciting event for the city. As the various Olympic Federations bring their ice sport teams (figure skating, hockey, sledge hockey, and speed skating) to Vancouver, it means that there will be even more user groups that we have to share the city ice with.

Due to the Olympics, next season will look a little different than past seasons. We have been already working with BC Hockey, PCAHA, VANOC, and our ice providers to plan for next season. At a recent PCAHA President’s Caucus meeting, we were presented with the following possible scenarios for the 2009/2010 season: 

(1)    Push the start of the season up to as early as possible. The Rep season would start around Oct 1^st, two weeks earlier than normal and the regular season would end at around Jan 15^th. The league would try to fit playoffs and final 4’s in between Jan 15 and Feb 13. Provincial championships would then be played after the Olympics are concluded and all provincial championships would be played outside of the Lower Mainland.

(2)    The “C” leagues would start their regular season the 3^rd or 4^th week of September. This scenario might also have the Vancouver-based teams playing all their home games in the first half, which would mean an extra game time per “C” team in the first half of the season.

(3)  The Initiation season would also be moved to start earlier, but dependant upon the above scenarios and ice allocation.

(4)    The Midget and Juvenile scholarship games may be moved to March, after the Olympics are completed.

We will forward everyone more details as soon as they are available. In themeantime, especially with Labour Day being very late this coming September, please be prepared for an earlier start to the season (tryouts/evaluations) than we enjoyed this past season. Again, as more details become available, we will pass that information along. However, please keep this very import possibility in mind when looking at your end-of-August vacation planning.  

We are permitted by PCAHA, our district association, to register only those players who reside within our boundaries. Our draw zone is essentially the west side of Vancouver. More specifically, our boundaries run from the north end of Burrard Street to Broadway, east along Broadway to Kingsway, along Kingsway to Fraser, south along Fraser to 41st Avenue, east along 41st to Argyle, south along Argyle St. to the Fraser River.

SEE RESIDENTIAL BOUNDARY MAP

Hockey Canada Reg. F-10 States: A Branch or the Officers of Hockey Canada, as applicable, may take any disciplinary action dictated by the circumstances, against:
a) Any team found to be in violation of any Hockey Canada registration regulation, and, or;
b) Any individual found guilty of having falsified or forged any document that would make that individual eligible to play hockey in any IIHF member federation. 

-- Returning players who have moved out of our boundary should contact the office to request a player movement form to give to your new association. --  

UEL, UNA & UBC Residents Please note:  

We are currently reviewing our University Endowment Land Policy and expect to have it resolved shortly.  In the meantime, we wanted to advise you that once we have concluded our review, there is a possibility that the UEL fee charged in the past will be reinstated.  (see more in our policies for justification of charge) The estimated fee will be between $700-$1000.   We hope that those players whose families live within the UBC jurisdiction (students and faculty) will have their surcharge covered by UBC as in previous years.  For those families who live in the UNA, we hope that an agreement can be reached whereby the UNA covers the surcharge for those families as well.  Families who are not in either of those categories can expect a surcharge to be levied prior to the start of our 2009-2010 season.  We are currently determining how much that will be.  You will be invoiced for this fee after your registration.  Please see the attached spreadsheet which indicates which address falls within which category.  We will update you with further information as it becomes available.  Thank you for your patience

New Players who are siblings of players currently registered with VTMHA will have priority registration until the start of New Player Registration.  Please sign up on our registration waitlistbefore the start of New Player Registration.  (be sure to include registrant and current VTMHA sibling's name)
