    REF CLINIC  Nov 23, 9 am @ arena meeting room    
  PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD, WE NEED A MIN OF 10 PEOPLE FOR BOTH CLINICS.  KEEP RECEIPT OF PAYMENT.  
  Registration for both clinics are on line at  : http://www.bchockey.net/  
  If the potential attendee has not signed up prior to the clinic, they cannot attend unless there is a live useable Internet connection at the clinic site.  That would only be the exception, not to be a practice.
The process is not all that difficult or time consuming and I am attempting to give you the tools that might assist you in helping out any attendees from your association.  
 
  Hopefully tomorrow it will be posted on the Hockey BC website as they need that link to register.  
     
  To check this out go to: http://www.bchockey.net/  
  
  On the left side of the web page click on "CLINICS"

  Click on  "SPEAKOUT" and all the scheduled Speak Out clinics in the province will be posted there.

  At meetings held this past weekend in Richmond, the BC Hockey Executive Committee passed a motion which will effectively require all coaches to wear a helmet during team practices.  A directive was issued today to all member minor hockey associations in BC and the Yukon notifying them of the requirement, which will take effect on December 1, 2008.
  
 

  "The decision is viewed as a necessary step in the evolution of safety requirements for hockey participants, and has been in development over the past couple of years" noted BC Hockey Risk Manager Randy Henderson.   "We had put our plans on hold in anticipation of a national directive on the subject, but when we received word last week from the Hockey Canada Safety and Risk Management Committee that the release of a national policy was not imminent our Board decided it was time to take action here in BC."
  
 

  The decision sets out that failure to wear a helmet by a coach at practice will result in the pulling of BC Hockey's sanction of the practice.  Unsanctioned activities are not covered by the association's insurance policy.   The new policy will mean that all coaches who participant on-ice with their players will be required to wear a CSA approved helmet.  "This policy is being introduced with the coach's safety in mind" added Henderson.
