Jersey Pick Up

Jersey Pick Up for players who are registered for Tryouts is this weekend and there are a couple options.

The Joe is Looking for You!!!

The Joe LaMontagne Memorial March Break Tournament is one of the largest tournaments in Atlantic Canada, hosting 150+ teams, playing 300+ games in 9 days, on five ice surfaces.

To host a tournament of this size requires a lot of time, effort, and dedication on the committee, parents and sponsors. In fact, "The Joe'' is in many ways an undertaking of the entire Cole Harbour community. Forty years of volunteerism is something our community continues to be proud of! 

Cole Harbour we are calling on you as we need your help once again. We are looking to fill the following roles: 

• Tournament Registrar
• Rink Manager & Runner Coordinator
• Sales & Fundraising Coordinator

For all those interested please send an email to thejoechair@gmail.com, with the role they are interested in, and why they want to be part of The Joe committee. Deadline to apply is September 30, 2022 at midnight-ish.

CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECKS/VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECKS 2022-23 SEASON

Options for CRC/VSC

For the 2022-23 Season, you have 2 options for completing the CRC/VSC: 

1) Backcheck through the Halifax Regional Police Please select the Vulnerable Sector Check option ONLY.  You will not be reimbursed if you select the wrong option.   You must complete all steps required - including entering the code received from the Halifax Regional Police to ensure that your Backcheck letter is fully completed.  Avoid delays or rejection of your CRC/VSC by following all the instructions.  If you typically require fingerprints to complete your CRC/VSC or if you need to declare a previous conviction, please do not use this option.  Once you have completed your CRC/VSC, please email a copy to riskmanagement@chbawings.org by December 1. 

2) Complete the CRC/VSC through the RCMP's Cole Harbour Detachment  Please print the letter from the Risk Manager CRC and VSC Volunteer Letter 2022-2023   (https://chbawings.org/uploads/coleharbourmha/menu_documents/8368.pdf) - to have the check completed. Once you have completed your CRC/VSC, please email a copy to riskmanagement@chbawings.org by December 1.   Please use this option if more convenient for you or if you typically require fingerprints to complete your CRC/VSC or if you need to declare a previous conviction.

Costs

Volunteers are responsible for the up-front costs and rostered team staff can be reimbursed from their team budget; rostered staff on teams without a budget (U7) can submit their receipt to the CHBAMHA Treasurer for reimbursement. 

New coaches, assistant coaches and managers

If you plan on volunteering for a team but have not volunteered in Cole Harbour before, please wait until you have been rostered with a team to begin the certifications process (CRC/VSC and other qualifications).

Early renewal of CRC/VSC

If you have a valid CRC/VSC from the 2020-21 season or later, you will not be reimbursed if you renew your CRC/VSC before the expiry.
