Overview

OVERVIEW

Administration

The success of the Canadian Athletic Club is due to the continuing efforts of numerous volunteers who offer a substantial amount of time, expertise, and dedication to this quality hockey program. The affairs of the Club are conducted by an elected Executive Committee and by the Hockey Operations Committee who select the head coaches. Many of these volunteers do not have children in the hockey program and put forward their best efforts and intentions.

Because the Canadian Athletic Club must reflect the ongoing revisions of Hockey Edmonton’s Rules of Registration, the changes within Edmonton’s AA hockey program, and to maintain competitive standards for our teams, the information provided is a guideline only and subject to change.

Parent Volunteer Commitment

Parents will be required to volunteer, as required, for yearly club functions such as the Kurucz Tournament for U18AA, EBIT Christmas Tournament, Provincials, team activities, etc.

Team Manager

It is necessary to have team managers in place as soon as possible, so we ask parents with sons/daughters trying out to consider being a team manager. A managers meeting is held early in the season to review responsibilities to the Club and to the team. An interim manager may be named by the Coach to assist in the team’s activities until such time as the roster is set.

Team Budget

Player registration fees include two practice slots per week for AA teams and three for AAA teams. There are usually one or more regular season games per week. The members of each team will be responsible for expenses at tournaments and exhibition games.

Equipment

The Club will supply players with practice jerseys, game jerseys, pant shells, game socks, and other apparel.  Teams are provided with pucks and first-aid kits. New players to the club will be provided player/goalie bags.

Colours & Design

The Club has determined a standard design and colour scheme and has a rigid policy regarding team jackets, track suits, and clothing and controls the style, colour, and design. All orders must go through the Club’s Equipment Director. For more information, contact our Equipment Director.

Helmets, Gloves & Equipment Bags

Dark navy helmets, hockey pants, and gloves in Club colors form part of the teams’ uniform and are mandatory.
