July 2009
Welcome to July! Three
delegates from SAMHA attended the recent BC Hockey Annual General Meeting in
Vancouver the weekend of June 20th. There was some exceptional
workshops for the membership to attend.
SAMHA were recognized on several fronts
at the awards presentation. Dedicated coaching volunteers were recognized:
Dave Phillips, Tom Marsh and Keith Watson. These gentlemen received their
plaques at our Awards Night on May 4th. The Vancouver Canucks
Silver Skate awards were presented to all the provincial championship teams
in BC Minor Hockey. Delegate Rob Mailhiot accepted this on behalf of the
Salmon Arm Midget Female Techlectric team.
BC Hockey’s Most Promising Official went to Andrew
Wutke. This was Andrew’s first year officiating and it was quite an honor
being chosen for this award considering the many new officials in B.C.

Is your child playing minor hockey for
the first time? If so, your registration fee is $200. The early bird
discount does not apply in this case. Any pre-novice through midget
player playing minor hockey for the first time will be eligible for this
first time fee.

you wish to register under the payment plan, you will need to put down $100
