Attention New Coaches and Volunteers;

 

There have been quite a few questions about how to create your profile in Hockey Canada.

Our registrar has opened an online registration which will allow you to easily create a profile and obtain a Hockey Canada Registration number.

For anyone who has NOT previously registered as a coach or volunteer in the past please click the link below to get started;

There are no fees attached to this registration.

 

We have noticed cases of volunteer information not being transferred to the New Hockey Canada Registration site.  We encourage anyone who has volunteered in the past to confirm your registration information still exists.   

 

This information is also included on the Volunteer Certification Information Page of the Chebucto Website!

 

Cheers!

Season Start Messages from VP Competitive and VP Recreation

Hello Chebucto Families,

Messages from Stephen and Tim....

As we approach the start of the 2021/ 2022 regular season, I just wanted to send out a quick message as teams start to embark on what hopefully will be a very successful and enjoyable year of competitive hockey.

First, I wanted to say a huge thank you to all involved in the 2021/ 2022 tryout process. For all volunteers, be it evaluators, on-ice and bench assistants, dressing room monitors and those working the check-in/ registration desk, these tryouts do not happen without you. Giving up your free time to ensure things are able to get done does not go unnoticed and your efforts are greatly appreciated.

To parents, for driving your children to the rink, ensuring they have everything, being patient as lists are generated, and supporting your children as the tryout process plays out, these efforts go a long way to ensuring the process is a positive experience for players. When players are coming to the rink feeling positive, they are able to go on the ice, perform well, and more importantly, have fun.

To players, who are the reason why the process is in place, for coming to each session, working hard, trying your best, and having fun, your efforts are applauded by everyone involved, and we hope you carry this on throughout the season.

Lastly, to all competitive teams and those involved in them, best of luck. I hope that you are able to compete, improve, have fun, and represent Chebucto in a positive manner throughout the year, no matter what age group and level you are at. Provided COVID does not rear its ugly head, let’s hope for a full season of games, tournaments and lasting memories for all of the players involved.

Stephen, on behalf of the Tryout Committee

Go Chebucto!!!

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who made the Recreation Balancing an awesome experience. I am sure the kids appreciate it. On behalf of the Rec Balancing Committee, we wish all the players, coaches and staff the best of luck with the 2021-22 season. Go Chebucto!

Reminder of Mask Discipline at Arenas

Hi Chebucto,

We are well into the start of our hockey season and I'm glad that there has been alot of support toward ensuring players are safe and we are adapting to the "newest" COVID normal.

To the safety reps, managers and coaches who have reached out I really appreciate the questions, support and commitment to keeping our players and parents safe and within the requirements of the HNS Rebound Plan.  

However, we have had several reports of inadequate mask discipline, and in particular large groups of younger players from our membership transiting the facility without masks which has been sighted by outside observation. We need to improve this immediately otherwise our membership will risk sanction due to increased risk of spread of infection within our association. 

Of particular concern is wearing of masks in our younger age groups not able to currently get vaccinated. This is U13 and younger. 

As a reminder, the HNS rebound plan and provincial guidelines indicate that masks must be worn off the ice including in the dressing room. To make this perfectly clear that means the players and on ice volunteers must endeavor to wear a mask right up until they are ready to step onto the ice, which is the point helmets should be put on, etc. Once they step off the ice they must endeavor to put a mask on immediately, and keep it on until they exit the facilities. See the exerpt from the HNS rebound plan below.

MaskDiscipline

 Players, parents, and volunteers can all help be vigilant here. Thanks for your help.
