MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD

I want to acknowledge that we are on the unceded and traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples throughout BC and Yukon.

On behalf of BC Hockey, I want to thank all Indigenous people in our Branch for sharing their land with us to play hockey. BC Hockey honours the traditional lands and homelands of all Indigenous peoples and communities across Canada, including First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

I’d also like to recognize all BC Hockey’s Life Members and thank

them for their continued dedication, inspiration and guidance as we reshape hockey in B.C. moving forward.

COVID-19 has forever changed our landscape, and we have made significant changes by working together. The new BC Hockey is committed to being diverse, inclusive, and most importantly, welcoming to everyone and anyone who may even like to try romancing the puck and experiencing part of the “Canadian Fabric.”

Our players continue to make us proud as they represent their communities and us from all areas of B.C. and Yukon. Our volunteers are incredible, and I can’t thank them enough for all they have done in the past and all the good work they currently do so unselfishly to make our game great and BC Hockey one of the top sports organizations in Canada.

Our BC Hockey office staff is second to none. Any Minor Hockey Association (MHA) anywhere in our Branch has direct access to

Chair of the Board BILL GREENE

2021-2022 BC Hockey Handbook

11

courteous subject matter experts who can provide helpful information to ensure success regardless of geographical location or size of the MHA.

This season we are witnessing the rebranding of the BC Major Midget League (MML) to the BC Elite Hockey League (BCEHL). The BCEHL is determined to provide additional opportunities for female and male players throughout the BC Hockey Branch. A new structure and a renewed commitment to further developing players and ensuring a high-level experience exist for all players.

I would like to reiterate a statement I made in one of my addresses to all of you and share my dream that soon, any first-year Initiation aged player anywhere in our Branch can experience the game with full gear and Hockey Canada-trained skilled coaches for free. I challenge you by asking, “Why not?”

As I approach the end of my term in June of 2022 as Chair of BC Hockey, I want to express to everyone that it has been the honour of my life to be involved with all of you in some capacity over my time in hockey. I want to thank the BC Hockey Board of Directors both current and past for their dedication to building a better pathway for the youth of today and future in BC Hockey. I want to thank the Provincial and Federal Governments for their guidance and assistance as we pull out of this incredibly difficult time.

Finally, I would like once again to thank you for your dedication to the kids who play our game, and remind all that there is nothing more important than the “local game.”

Be safe, and be kind to each other.
