What other fees do players pay?
Fees cover all team registration costs, non-refundable amateur hockey insurance fees (Mutual Aid), ice time/arena fees and referee fees. Jerseys are provided, with a required deposit of $170 and must be returned at the end of the season. Hockey socks in team colours are required, and may be purchased from the association.
What about Rep team fees?
A $75 Tryout fee (non-refundable) is payable with registration. Successful players must abide by the VGIH Rep (Tier 1) policy and will be required to pay a $100 fee for player development (due after Tryouts) plus possible extra fees for additional practices, dryland training and player development. The Rep tryout process and policy will be distributed to all registered players.
What about team goalies?
Goalies supplying their own equipment are only required to pay 50% of the fees for their division, except for Juvenile, where all players pay PCAHA-determined fee.
What additional information is required for registration?
All new players to Vancouver Girls Ice Hockey must include a photocopy of the player’s Birth Certificate, two types of proof for Vancouver residency, and completed Photo Release Form to be kept on file for future seasons.
Where do I mail the forms?
Treasurer, Vancouver Girls Ice Hockey, 7766 Kinross Street, Vancouver, B.C. V5S 3K2. Do NOT drop your registration form and cheque at the Killarney Community Centre. Please ensure that all cheques are made out to “K.C.C.S.” (Killarney Community Centre Society). Please also ensure that all cheques are clearly marked with the player’s name and birth year.
Do new players need to be experienced?
Prior hockey experience is not required at any level. New players are encouraged to join the association and participate at a recreational or rep level of play.
As a new parent to hockey what can I expect?
The volunteer manager of your team will be there in person and online to answer all your questions. Female players can be assisted in the dressing room until Pee Wee age. All coaches, managers and team safety personnel are trained by Hockey Canada Respect In Sport and require Background Checks.
As a new player what can I expect?
You will receive skill instruction during pre-season dates to assist with the integration to your team. A highly recommended pre-requisite to new hockey players is power skating. Please refer to Key Information Skills & Development for options to take power skating. Ideally, the power skating would be taken in July / August prior to season commencement.
The coach, manager and your parents can assist with tying skates, and equipment issues as they arise. Once you reach the Pee Wee age, male coaches, and managers only enter the female dressing rooms once a female team volunteer has cleared the way and is able to accompany males during pre and post-game talks.
What about volunteer support?
Vancouver Girls Ice Hockey is growing the minor program significantly and requires more volunteers to ensure the continuation of the development of girl’s ice hockey in Vancouver. Parents are expected to contribute time in support of the association by taking on team coaching, management as well as Executive roles.
