Novice Tier 1 team this year, you need to select the
Non-Refundable Novice Tier 1 Tryout Fee ($100) on
your Registration. You may also contact the Registrar to add the tryout on after you have registered
up to August 15, 2016.

will require extra ice time, extra commitment, and
extra fees on your team (TBD).

September. These players will not participate in
regular evaluations if already placed on a team.

Player Evaluations
Please check under Important dates for the expected start date of
your child’s evaluations. If you are interested in helping
with Evaluations this year, please watch for the Volunteer sign up sheets in August.
Discovery and Jr. Timbits do not take part in Evaluations as Discovery is a learn to skate program and no
teams are formed and Jr. Timbits doesn’t have teams.
Sr. Timbits is planning on having Evaluations to place the players
on even teams, but this may change.
At Novice, Atom, and Peewee the purpose of Evaluations is to
place the children on teams with similar ability level players that
will play against similar tiered teams in the Hockey Edmonton program.
Dates and information on website under Evaluations.
Volunteer Deposit Program
Confederation Hockey is a volunteer-run organization, and as such, it
depends on the volunteer assistance of its members to function successfully. Volunteers are essential to maintaining and growing the Confederation Hockey Club. The more volunteers we have, the better our association becomes!
Overview of 2016-17 Volunteer Deposit Program:

Every family is required to complete volunteer commitments for 2016
-17 unless they have paid the volunteer opt-out fee on their registration.
The number of volunteer commitments for each family is dependent on
the number of players and which category they are in.
 It is important to note that we would rather have the family complete
a volunteer commitment and contribute to the success of the club than
pay the opt-out fee.
 Discovery and Jr Timbits player families are required to complete ONE
VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT per player.
 Sr Timbits, Novice, Atom, and Peewee player families are required to
complete TWO VOLUNTEER COMMITMENTS per player.
 There are no exemptions to the volunteer requirements.

 There is no roll-over of volunteer commitments from year to year.

to Peewee prior to the registration being accepted.

Goalie Equipment
Did you know that Confederation
Hockey has its own custom goalie
equipment that is available for use
by our goalies free of charge?
We can outfit you with chest protector, blocker, catcher, and pads!
You can use these pads for any ice
hockey, even outside of your
Confed team games/practices, for
example summer camps, clinics, or
extra development sessions.
Contact our Equipment Team at
equipment@confedhockey.org to
make arrangements to sign out
equipment.
Jerseys
Novice, Atom, and Peewee got brand new
jerseys for the 2015-16 season—lets do
what we can to keep them
looking good!
We ask that families not
allow coloured drinks in
water bottles to avoid
stains on the jerseys that will
shorten the jerseys live span
with the club.
Parents will be responsible
to replace any jerseys
ruined by coloured drinks.
Changes to Initiation - Discovery, Jr. Timbits, Sr. Timbits
Thank you for your patience in the last 6 months, as we have been meeting with the
hockey associations across Edmonton, to come to a final decision on the Initiation
program, as per the request of Hockey Edmonton.
The changes to make note of:
Discovery (Previously Initiation 1A) – this program is for brand new skaters, learning
to skate with hockey equipment and incorporate hockey skills throughout the season.
This will remain on Friday nights for Confed, have a paid instructor on the ice and be a
45 minute program. Ideally this will be for 2011/2012 birth years, dependent on skill
level.
Timbits Program (Previously Initiation 2A/3A) – this program has been split into
two. The Timbits Program is for 2011/2010 birth years, but also dependent on skill
level.
Jr. Timbits
The 1st Timbits program will be 1 hour Practice, once a week, on Saturday or Sunday –
this is called Jr.Timbits. There will be a Lead Instructor on the Ice for practices, with
several coaches assisting. The Lead Instructor position will rotate between the “on ice
coaches”, and they will use Hockey Canada’s Initiation Program Curriculum (available
for digital retrieval in the ProSmart system).
Sr. Timbits
The 2nd Timbits program will be two 1 hour ice times per week (on Saturday and Sunday) – 1 practice, 1 game – this is called Sr.Timbits. There will be a Lead Instructor
on the Ice for practices, with several coaches assisting. The Lead Instructor position
will rotate between the “on ice coaches”, and they will use Hockey Canada’s Initiation
Program Curriculum (available for digital retrieval in the ProSmart system).
During the Game session – there will be a game on each end of the rink, with the middle of the ice being used for active rest, drills the kids want to work on and unstructured small games.
We look forward to a GREAT 2016/17 Season in our Discovery and Timbits programs !
NAME BARS
Confed Hockey uses name bars for
Novice, Atom, and Peewee only.
Players were given name bars last
year to last during their time in
Confederation Hockey. All players
going into first year Novice and
players that are first year Confed
in Novice, Atom, Peewee will be
given a name bar this year.
If you are a returning 2004-2008
player that has misplaced your
name bar you may order additional
name bars with your registration at
a cost of $20 each.
Bingo Credit
Opportunities
Bingos are OPTIONAL.

credits towards future hockey
registration by working bingo.
Each single shift (5.5 hours)
worked will be worth $75.00 and
each double shift (7.5 hours)

2016-17 Volunteer Deposit Program FAQs
How do I find volunteer opportunities?
Confederation Hockey identifies those interested in Coaching and Assistant Coaching help during registration, so please note your
interest on your child’s registration. Many club opportunities will come out via email from Confederation Hockey and involve a sign up
process to participate in those opportunities. There will also be opportunities available for each team that you can sign up for once your
child has been placed on a team. Still not sure where to sign up? please email admin@confedhockey.org for information.
If I complete all my volunteer commitments, when will I receive my cheque back?
For 2016-17, after completing the minimum number of volunteer commitments your deposit cheque will be shredded or held for pick up
by April 1, 2017 depending on what you indicated on the 2016-17 Confederation volunteer deposit form at time of registration.
How are these volunteer jobs tracked?
The Parent Liaison will track the team volunteer commitments, along with the Confederation Administrator who is tracking the volunteer
commitments for the entire club. Parent Liaisons will submit a list of team commitments twice during the year directly to the
Confederation Administrator.
What if I have more than 1 child in Confederation Hockey Club?
For each player in Discovery or Jr Timbits you submit a $50 volunteer deposit cheque for one volunteer commitment. For each player in
Sr Timbits, Novice, Atom, or Peewee you submit one $200 volunteer deposit cheque.
Will I be contacted prior to my volunteer time as a reminder?
No, it is your responsibility to manage your volunteer commitment.
Will I be contacted prior to my volunteer deposit cheque being cashed?
Confederation Hockey will send out opportunities to volunteer to all members, but the responsibility is the family’s to ensure they have
volunteered so their cheque is not cashed. Our hope is we have no cheques to deposit.
Do donations, sponsorships, or gifts count as a Volunteer Commitment?
No, things like bringing snacks or other items to the team, team sponsorships, or event tickets do not count as volunteering.
If I pay out my volunteer does that excuse me from participating in any fundraisers for the club?
No, although we cannot make fundraisers, such as our Annual Raffle mandatory, participation in fundraisers such as these helps to
generate funds for our club and keep registration costs down as well as allow Confederation Hockey to offer the fantastic program we
have!
What if I help the Coach or Manager with part of their duties throughout the year, does that count as a Volunteer
Commitment?
No, although taking on some extra little tasks may be helpful to the Coach or Manager to help with things like gamesheets, raffle tickets,
or planning a party, those tasks are already accounted for under other positions and do not count as a Volunteer Commitment.
