HOCKEY NEW BRUNSWICK RESPECT IN SPORT PARENT PROGRAM

Mandatory for parents of all new registered hockey players.

Procedures:

1. A parent registers at the appropriate URL for the program: https://hnbparent.respectgroupinc.com
2. Immediately on completing their registration, the parent is displayed the Child Management Page where they can add the first name, last name and date of birth of each child they need to have associated to them.
3. The parent completes the program
4. Immediately on completion of the program, the system will talk to the HCR and do a look-up based on associated children only.  (If there are no children associated, no information will be transmitted).  The look up will be based on the Branch ID (which is why it is important the user registers at the appropriate URL), the child's first name, last name and date of birth.
5. If a match is found, the HCR will tell us which Minor Hockey Association the child is affiliated with (this is known as the Office ID).  Our system will then talk to the HCR again and update the appropriate child record using the correct Office ID.  The information placed on the Child Athlete's record is the parents certification number and the name of the parent who completed the program.
6. If no match is found, a new record will be created for the Child Athlete and on it will be the Parent Program certification number and the name of the parent who completed.

-Tryouts are held over a period of approximately three weeks.  Players are evaluated and teams are selected by a draft process.  Special requests cannot be entertained (i.e. to play with other children, play for specific coach, etc.).
-If chosen to a competitive team, be prepared for an additional fee of up to $400 almost immediately.
-Competitive teams generally have a mandatory early morning practice at 6:00am through the week.

-Most competitive teams will also travel to a minimum of 3 tournaments throughout the year (which usually means overnight in hotels).
 
U7 & U9 PROGRAM
The FYHA provides an entry-level hockey program for 4-8 year-old children which is based on the Hockey Canada U7 & U9 program. The children are divided by age with the 4-6 year-olds forming the U7 level and the 7&8 year-olds forming the U9 level. The specific objectives of the program are:
-To have fun while developing a positive attitude towards hockey;
-To introduce concepts of fairness and good sportsmanship and ensure that players maintain clean play and discipline at all times;
-To develop individual skating, puck control, passing, and shooting skills in the above order of priority;
-To introduce at the second year U9 level (U9 Major) the team approach in playing, including positional play and the concept of offsides.


RECREATION TEAM BUDGETS
Recreational teams are not required to pay additional fees. However, it is recognized that teams do participate in tournaments. In order to cover these expenses, coaches need to discuss the method of payment with parents prior to commitment to events involving additional fees.  Most teams need only cover the cost of a maximum of five tournaments. The maximum player contribution cannot exceed $200. The team budget limit is set at $2,500 with an extra $1,000 cap on additional fundraising over the base budget with prior approval by the division coordinator. Teams have the option to fundraise all or a portion of the funds included in the team budget. A draft budget must be submitted to the division coordinator by November 30 with the signature of all parents/guardians who attend initial parent meeting.  The budget must detail a breakdown of anticipated expenditures and revenue sources. Any budget amendments due to changes in circumstances must be submitted to the division coordinator for approval. There is no obligation of any player not wishing to participate in tournaments to pay extra fees towards a team cost. 


COMPETITIVE TEAM BUDGETS
Competitive teams are required to pay additional fees for FYHA competitive fee ($3,300). The competitive fee is to be paid by December 15th. As a result, these teams require that parents be responsible for additional funding. To limit the financial obligation of parents, the maximum player contribution cannot exceed $400 per player. The team budget limit is set at $6,000 with an extra $1,000 cap on additional fundraising over the base budget with prior approval by the division coordinator.  Teams have the option to fundraise all or a portion of the funds included in the team budget. Competitive teams are responsible for preparing a budget within the limits outlined above. Items which may be included in the budget, but at the discretion of the parents, are: FYHA competitive fee (referees, extra practice times, league fees), crests for jackets, name bars on jerseys, team apparel, tournament fees, extra ice costs, etc. The budget must detail a breakdown of anticipated expenditures and revenue sources. Any budget ammendments due to changes in circumstances must be submitted to the division coordinator for approval. There is no obligation of any player not wishing to participate in tournaments to pay extra fees towards a team cost.
