DIRECTOR OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT-APPENDIX 1
Director of Player Development
Budget Proposal: Waiting for an answer from March meeting regarding approval for “Director of Player

Player Development Opportunities
Hockey School – Same Ice as last year. Meeting with TPH (Scott Jones) to discuss more detail, need
confirmation on ice time so these can be booked.
Goalie Schools – Meeting with Steve Mckechan with in the next few weeks to discuss a plan.
Checking clinics – Need to contact Jeff Allen to set up a plan.
Other Clinics: Suggested a set ice time for clinics throughout the season, ending January 1st, waiting on
the ice time so I can start planning clinics.
Coaches Clinics
Need to discuss as a board about coaching clinics; What clinics are we hosting and when?
Coaches Manuals - Asked last meeting to have an email sent to have these collected as I don’t have all the coach’s emails.
Not sure if this was done but I haven’t had any manuals returned as of now.
Managers Manuals - If I am to still distribute manuals to all managers, I will need to get binders for them as well and previous
managers to help with this.
NEW BUSINESS
360 Goalie Clinic: Just curious on the interest so far on the 360-goalie clinic. Also, a thank you to Jason
McLean for helping with this.
Power Edge Pro: Met with Darren Rogers (PEP), have a plan in place, just need to discuss with Kaylen
Burgess to have information transferred to the Web as well as Registration.
I would like to have full access to these registration pages please.
DIRECTOR OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT-APPENDIX 2
Power Edge Pro Summer Clinics
This program is for players that are registered through MTMHA. After July 1st, any clinics that are not full will be opened to the public.
2 Goalies per session. Goalies will pay $5 per skate. If more then 2 goalies are registered in any age group, the sessions will be shared. Example: Novice has 5 goalies interested. The development committee will make a list and try their best to make it fair. The Power Edge Pro programs is not designed for goalie instructions so to have multiple goalies on the ice makes it hard to keep them all busy. The goalies that are on the ice will face multiple shots and they can practice any skill that they have learned during these sessions.
24 SKATERS MAX. Each skater will pay $20 per skate. After the list is full the skaters will be put
on a waiting list and be contacted if there is an opening. No skater will be allowed on the ice unless a payment is made for that ice time.2-4 coaches are required for Novice and Atom Clinics. 2 Junior coaches are also required. 2 coaches are required for Peewee/Bantam Clinics. Having our own coaches help out wil decrease the cost of PEP coaches and it’s a great time to learn.
It is encouraged that age specific coaches attend these clinics.

Novice: July 18, 25; August 1, 15, 22 ( Wednesdays) 7-8pm 5 Hours of PEP Training
Atom: July 18, 25; August 1, 15, 22 ( Wednesdays) 8-9pm 5 Hours of PEP Training

Format Ideas:
- game gurantee as always
-10 teams in each division split into two groups - group A & B
-Top two teams from each group move into SF (i.e. A1 vs B2 and B1 vs A2)
- SF winners play in Finals; SF losers play in Consolation
Trophies/Awards/Gifts Ideas:

-Small MVP trophy for each team to hand out in each round robin game they play

-Medals for Consolation Winners
Pin Sharing Ceremony "Idea"
-Pin sharing ceremony for novice, atom, peewee divisions Friday, November 16th (after the day's games)
-In lieu of a luncheon for each team, we can do a pizza dinner for all teams 6:00pm to 8:00pm at Courtright
Silverdome
-6:00pm to 6:30pm will be a "pin sharing" ceremony - each team trades pins from their association for other
association's pins
-6:30pm to 7:15pm we allow teams to eat and design a "team sign" on bristol board provided
-7:15pm onwards, a few team representatives walk their signs in an "opening ceremony" kind of way
Sponsors
-Will look for sponsors amongst industrial leaders in our area (Kel-Gor, Shell etc) and small business sponsors
(Antonio's, Foodland etc)
-Vinel rollout sign can be bought from Qwik Copy (approx. $250.00) listing tournament sponsors - will be put
in front lobby
-Panphlets can be made with rosters and sponsors listed
-A "huge" tournament sponsor would be ideal and it will be my goal to get one!
Game Sheets
-Ideally, I would like prepped game sheets, similar to Riverside's Family First Tournament, where players are
on stickers and all the other info is ready; coaches just need to sign and initial
***When it's all said and done, I want the team's coming to our Tournament to have a uniquely fun &
competitive time! I want the tournament to be known as a well organized event! And most of all, I want
folks to be excited to come back next year!***
