Boundary Discussion
At the District 4 meeting on Feb 7th, representatives from West Carleton and Richmond made a proposal for the members of D4 to consider extending their boundaries for both House and Rep B hockey to include some of the geography that is part of SMHA. At this time there is no motion on the table, just a proposal so please don’t read too much into this, but word gets around in the hockey community so best you know what we know and have a chance to weigh in on our blog so we can take your opinions into account.
Checking/Non-Checking Program Review
Thanks to everyone who completed the Program Review Survey - we had the best participation level ever for an SMHA survey! This is important as it means the results can be trusted to represent the views of the membership. The analysis is underway and we'll soon share the results with everyone - on the blog of course so you can comment on the results.
Coach Evaluation
It's also time for the annual coach evaluation survey. It's important that we all take time to provide feedback on our coaches. It helps them improve and it helps the Coaching Selection Committee pick the best coaches possible for your children. As always, the survey is anonymous and the summary results (not the individual responses) are shared only with the coach and with the SMHA president and coach selection team.
Enjoy the end of your season, best of luck in the playoffs and hope to see you all in person at the AGM
