2019 Registration

Vulcan and District Minor Hockey Association

“It’s All About the Kids” 

Registration Package 2019-2020

Hello Hockey Families,

 

Your child will be placed at their age appropriate level for registration.  If you feel that this is not the level your child should play at, please include a letter stating where they should be placed and the reasons VMHA should consider movement.  Please note that an OVERAGE approval (novice & up)must go through VMHA, Zone 5 and Hockey Alberta before it can be complete and therefore can take some time to put in place.  ***There will be NO OVERAGE allowed from Junior to Midget (players that turn 18 before Dec 31, in grade 12).  More information on overage can be found on the Hockey Alberta website at www.hockeyalberta.ca under “forms”.

 

If your child wishes to play for VMH, but belongs to another association (ie. Lomond, Siksika, Gleichen), a player verification form (release) must be completed by the parent and signed by their home association. (Even if they have previously played for Vulcan or if there is no team in their home association.)  These forms can be found on the Hockey Alberta website and need to be completed with the application form.

 

Registration deadline is Aug. 15, 2019 for ALL  players. 

 

Please mail, e-mail or fax completed registration packages by the above date.

As a representative of Vulcan and District Minor Hockey Association during games and practices, the members of this association expect players and parents to act in an appropriate manner.  They must follow direction given by their coaches and/or adults while in the area.

Unbecoming behaviour and conduct is something that Vulcan and District Minor Hockey is not prepares to tolerate.  This applies equally to players and their parents.  PLEASE GO OVER THE FOLLOWING POINTS WITH YOUR CHILD as this is an example of the type of conduct that will not be tolerated.

• SWEARING
• ABUSIVE LANGUAGE (to teammates, adults and opponents)
• DISPRESPECT OF COACHES OR ADULTS- ON OF OFF THE BENCH
• SLAMMING OF STICK (on the ice, against the boards, on the bench)
• UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUT (on or off the ice- at any arena)

 

Coaches will have the authority to discipline players that violate these rules or any other rules the coach may have set down.  For example, players may be required to miss a shift or a period, do extra laps or get dressed and go home.

If necessary, further action may be taken by the discipline committee on behalf of the Vulcan and District Minor Hockey Executive.  Penalties to the offenders will include suspensions, probations or a combination of both.

 

Yours Truly,
