Minor Hockey Banquet - Thursday April 15 - 6 PM ESN 

Each team manager is requested to contact their team and develop a list of names and number of tickets required.  Managers are then asked to forward this list to George Daley on or before March 31st.   Only a very limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

Each Novice team is asked to select a Most Improved, Dedicated, and Sportsmanlike player.  Teams from Atom up are asked to select an MVP, Most Improved, and Sportsman like.  Please send these selections to George Daley at George.Daley@nbed.nb.ca as soon as possible.

Application forms for Spring Hockey can be found under the Spring Hockey tab on the Left. This is a privately run program which BMH supports through the posting of information and schedules during the program time period. Check back here for updates.

All team managers are asked to complete a team roster with jersey numbers included, and either drop it off at the minor hockey office or email it to George.Daley@nbed.nb.ca

Managers or coaches should collect all jerseys on the day of each team's last game.  Parents are asked to have all name tags removed at that time.  Jerseys are expensive to replace and we must ensure that all BMHA jerseys are returned at season end.

Year -end Information

1.  Teams participating in zone playoffs are expected to cover their own registration fee.  Any teams making it to provincial championships are encouraged to send the cost of the provincial tournament to the executive so we can decide on assistance.

2. Minor hockey will have no scheduled games after March 7th, unless part of a zone play down or tournament.

3. We are hosting the Atom AA and Rec zones from March 8th to 14th, it will effectively use up most of the ice time during that period.  The following weekend is a Gentlemen's tournament, again this will limit our access to ice.

4.  Minor hockey will effectively end on the weekend of March 21st.  Teams playing in tournaments after that date, may still access limited practices by contacting Scott Poupart.

5.  The Annual meeting and banquet are being organized for April.

6.  We had a 10 percent increase in our hourly rates this season.  We did not reflect this in our registration fee this season.  We will be looking at our current individual and tournament fee structure during the upcoming annual meeting.

Video and Photograph Recording Policy

The use of video and photographic recording equipment is not permitted in any Bathurst Minor Hockey dressing room.  Coordinators, team managers and coaches are expected to enforce this policy.  In the event of celebratory event, coaches may grant permission for limited supervised use, once players and parents have been notified.

Dispute Resolution and Complaint Process

The goal of hockey is the development of your players in a fun and safe environment.  In hopes of maintaining positive relationships within BMHA parents are asked to follow the following process.

1.        If parents or guardians have concerns dealing with coaches, players or game officials, they must approach the team manager to express their concerns.  It is requested that all individuals respect a 24 hour ‘cool down period’ where concerns are only taken to the managers 24 hours after the event. 

2.       The manager may possess ample information that may resolve issues.  If they do not, the manager may speak with the coach about the concern, or arrange a meeting with the parent and coach.

3.       Managers must inform Level Coordinators about all complaints.  If the team manager is not able to bring resolution to issues, then the Level Coordinator may intervene.

4.       If the Level Coordinator is unable to resolve the issue, then it will be brought to the attention of the Executive, and may result in intervention.

Abusive or Bullying Behavior

Any parent, player, or coach who is verbally or physically abusive to players, coaches, or other Bathurst Minor Hockey members shall be reported directly to the Executive.   Suspension and removal of permission to attend or participate in BMHA may result.  Physical abuse of any type will be immediately reported to police.
