DeDication in Honour of GeraLD (GerrY) taYLor

Gerald (Gerry) Taylor was born in Long Pond Manuels and at an early age moved to Bell Island where he lived for the next twenty five years. He and his wife Rosemary moved to Mount Pearl in 1966 where they raised their five children. While living on Bell Island, Gerry played in the Junior and Senior Hockey Leagues as well as with the Bell Island Senior All Star Team. Moreover, he played with the Feildians team in the St. John’s Senior Hockey League and enjoyed a very successful playing career at all levels. His well-rounded talent for the game made him an asset in every way possible to all teams that were lucky enough to have him play for them. Having experienced sport as an athlete, Gerry understood first hand, how important the contributions that builders make to the sporting community are. With this in mind, he turned his energy to the administrative side of the game dedicating decades to the development of hockey players at the minor, junior and senior levels in Mt Pearl and throughout the entire Province. Holding executive positions on local, regional and provincial hockey boards, Gerry was instrumental in moving the game forward in our Province and he continues to be part of the St John’s Junior Hockey League executive to this day after an amazing 65 plus years in the game.

We certainly can’t do justice to all of Gerry Taylor’s accomplishment in the game of hockey in this forum but here is an abbreviated list of the highlights in his outstanding career.

Gerry Taylor is a gentleman’s gentleman. His passion for the game of hockey made the game better for the people in this province that played it and his work and dedication to the sport is simply outstanding.

cHairPerSon’S MeSSaGe

On behalf of Hockey NL’s Minor Council let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2017-2018 minor hockey season. This season, as always, will be an exciting one for so many young hockey players in our province. As hockey volunteers and guardians of our sport, it is our responsibility and challenge to deliver a hockey program to our players, ensuring a safe and fun environment for them to experience the game. There is a necessity for us to provide a program that meets the needs of all participants in our ever changing society and there is a genuine requirement for us to be flexible to the needs of our diverse population. We need to be accessible to all and willing to change and adapt. If we do we have a real chance to make a difference and grow the game.

“The Game is Better, When we are in it Together.” is this year’s minor hockey slogan. Strength is in numbers with a common goal. Too many times we see an individualistic approach to sport, where the team is divided and therefore the ability to succeed is diminished. My challenge to you is to work towards a common goal that is in the best interest of all. We can accomplish so much as a group when we put aside our individual agendas. Good luck to all associations with your hockey programs. As chairperson of minor council I look forward to working with you all for another minor hockey season in an attempt to foster and promote the game. Put emphasis on skill development, it is the building block of our sport. You can’t run before you can walk.

In closing I wish to thank all of you for your continued support. To the volunteers, who are the cornerstone of our programs, your dedication is unparalleled. To the players, I hope you all have an enjoyable season full of memorable experiences and success. Remember, “Its better, when we are all in it together”.

PreSiDent’S MeSSaGe

On behalf of myself and the Officers of Hockey NL, I would like to welcome all players and coaches to the 2017-2018 hockey season as we prepare for an exciting season ahead.

This year we are excited about our new Novice Half Ice Hockey. Our focus is our Novice Program and to make sure we offer the best quality program for this level of hockey. We have to make sure we offer proper teaching methods at this level to prepare our players for the future of the game.

This year we are excited to have a AAA Bantam and Midget Female League. We wish all teams’ success and we hope that the League will continue on at this level of hockey.

The Breakaway Foundation had a successful season last year. They funded in excess of 115 players this past season and we are expecting more of our membership to take advantage of this program.

My message is always to focus on team work. I have seen over the last six years of my presidency the many challenges we face with social media and personal attacks. I think it is important that we all work together towards resolving issues instead of personally attacking others. Resolving issues will only help to make the game better.

It is always an exciting time within Hockey NL as we strive to offer the kids of this province the best possible experience within the sport of hockey. These initiatives, of course, are not possible without the ongoing support of the many volunteers who work daily to execute them.

To all the players, coaches, officials and off-ice volunteers a very sincere thank you. I look forward to working with you throughout this season.

Regards,

Jack LeePresidentHockey NL

tHanKS to tHe voLunteerS

Minor Hockey Week is a week set aside by Hockey NL to celebrate and to show appreciation to those who make participation in Canada’s National Sport possible for our children. The least we can do is pay public tribute to the men and women who spend so many hours organizing and operating the many leagues and games for our children.

Hockey provides healthy exercise that will improve the body, discipline the mind, as well as teach co-operation, team play and respect for rules.

Hockey NL urges everyone, particularly parents, to join the coaches, managers and organizers to make sure that everyone has fun. Let’s put fun back into hockey. It’s a game not a war. The right attitudes are just as important as the physical skills.

Thank You

The HNL Female Hockey Committee would like to welcome all the players, coaches, female representatives, officials and volunteers to another exciting year of female hockey! I’m sure we will have a full season for our players to enjoy this wonderful sport, as well as experience a ton of fun, build new friendships and develop new hockey skills!The female hockey program has been growing all across Canada and this growth continues throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Introducing our young female players to hockey through the u9 (Female IP/Novice) program has been a success over the past year. This year HNL will continue to support and promote female hockey grassroots through a new Female IP/Novice initiative. Female IP/Novice camps will be held throughout the province to allow our young players to experience female hockey within the new IP/Novice structure. This will be a year of developing and revising the female program to ensure continued growth with promotion, retention and developing a sustainable program for our female hockey players. There will be some re-structuring of female provincials and moving away from the Mega tournaments as the number of female teams has grown over the last few years. The new structure will involve more mini-megas and round robin provincial tournaments allowing the smaller communities to host and promote female hockey in their area. Over the summer the Female Hockey Committee has committed and worked hard to ensure a stronger AAA program for all divisions – Midget, Bantam and Peewee. Starting with early coach selection, roster deadlines and the leagues schedules finalized to ensure the success of this program so that our female players have the opportunity to continue to develop their skills playing at a higher level within our province. We are excited to be hosting the Midget AAA Atlantics this year by Mt. Pearl Minor from March 30-April 1, 2018. This will be an amazing weekend of high level and fast female hockey. We encourage everyone to come out and support our NL teams! The NL Winter Games are being hosted in Deer Lake, NL during March 10-18, 2018 with female hockey in the second week. This is a great opportunity to display our talented female players between the ages of 13-16 years of age. We look forward to seeing our players participate and enjoy the spirit of the games!We would like to thank all the volunteers that take their time to promote and develop female hockey programs and players throughout our province. The passion for female hockey continues to grow and with it comes great individuals that continue to build and promote our female hockey program.I wish everyone a fun, exciting and safe hockey season. I am sure I will see you all at the rink!

5. Hockey canada tie-Breaking System

tie Breaking Sequence

two teams tiedIf two or more teams are tied at the conclusion of a round robin series, then the following procedure will be used to determine the final ranking before the semi-final and final games are played. In the event that teams are tied for a playoff position, the following procedure will apply:1.1 The winner of the round robin game between the two tied teams gains the higher position1.2 The team with the most wins in the round robin gains the higher position.1.3 If the two teams are still tied after 1.1 and 1.2 have been applied then the team with the best goal average gains the higher position. The goal average of a team is to be determined in the following manner.

Total number of goals for divided by the total number of goals for and against.Note: All round robin games are included

Example: 10 Goals For 4 Goals Against

Percentage 10 10+4

Note: The higher percentage gains the higher position.1.4 If the two teams are still tied after 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 have been applied, the team with the least number of minutes in penalties throughout all of the round robin games gains the higher position.1.5 If the two teams are still tied after 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 have been applied ,then the team which scored the first goal in the game between the tied teams gains the higher position.

1.6 If the two teams are still tied after 1.2, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 have been applied, a single coin toss will determine which team gains the higher position.

three or More teams tiedNote: The three-team tiebreaker is used to determine the seedling of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd seed. If any step in the tiebreaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The three-team tiebreaker will continue to determine the seeding of the two remaining teams. At no time will teams using this formula go back to the two-team tiebreaker.2. If three or more teams are tied, the point record established in the game among

the tied teams only will be used as the first tie breaking formula in deciding which team(s) shall advance.

2.1 The team with the most wins would gain the highest position.2.2 If the teams are still tied after 2.1 has been applied, then the team with the best

goal average gains the highest position. The goal average of a team is to be determined in the following manner: total number of goals for divided by total number of goals for and against.

Note: All round robin games are includedExample: 10 Goals for 4 Goals Against

Percentage 10

10 + 4

Note: The highest percentage gains the highest position(s).The exercise of 2.2 establishes the team or teams with highest position(s) by percentage. These teams will advance. If there are still teams tied, they go to the next step. They do not go back to the “Two Team Tie Breaker”.Example:A. Team A - .714 = 1 seed – Advances Team B - .500 = 3 seed – Does not Advance Team C - . 650 = 2 seed – AdvancesB. Team A - .714 = 1 seed – Advances Team B - .500 = Still tied with team C – go to next step 2.3 Team C - .500 = Still tied with team B – go to next step 2.3C. Team A - .650 = Still tied with team B – go to next step 2.3 Team B - .650 = Still tied with team A – go to next step 2.3 Team C - .500 = Does not advance2.3 If teams are still tied after 2.1 and 2.2 the team(s) with the fewest goals against

(all round robin games played) will gain the highest position.2.4 If teams are still tied after 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 the team(s) with the most goals for

(all round robin games played) will gain the highest position(s).2.5 If teams are still tied after 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 have been applied, the team

to qualify would be the team(s) that received the least number of minutes in penalties throughout all the round robin games.

2.6 If teams are still tied after 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 have been applied, a coin toss shall determine the winner. In a 3 team coin toss, the odd team gains the highest position.

Initiation Program (IP) Hockey

Cross-Ice Guidelines Rationale: To build on the changes brought in at the Initiation Program level with regards to the sizing of ice space, equipment and other areas for the youth hockey development structure. Hockey NL has mandated that ALL Initiation Program hockey games beginning in the 2017/17 season, are to be played in a cross-ice setup. The smaller ice surface will support more competitive, fun and overall better development for our youth hockey players. The intent of this package is to cover off areas with regards to the implementation of the Cross-Ice program for Initiation Program Hockey. Hockey Canada Cross-ice hockey benefit video CLICK HERE Video Message on IP from Hockey Canada CEO, Tom Renney CLICK HERE What is the ideal IP set-up for practice? What is the IP ice set-up for games? All games at the IP level will be played in a cross-ice set up. More ice set up options on Page. 5

105 2

What pucks should be used blue pucks, black pucks?

For IP Blue 4oz pucks will be used for all practices and games. How do we keep score?

At the IP level, we shouldn’t be focusing on the score but player skill development and the fun of the game. However here are some options to keep score.

The score can be kept on score flip cards if more than 1 game is taking place at that time. If hosting a jamboree, the score can be kept simply filling out game sheets and the bench

coaches can track the score. At the IP level, just let them play! No need to keep a running score, remember it’s about skill

development not the score! How long should periods, shift lengths be?

For one-hour time slots, you can play 2 x 18-20 minute periods (2-minute shift lengths). In our model on page one, during a one hour practice you can have a rotation game zone with

multiple skills stations. What about the officials, do we need them?

For IP practice with game zone you can have a coach assist with the cross-ice game. Have a young official be in uniform and drop the puck and get used to acting like an official

but do not call penalties. If a young player does continually commit penaltie(s) direct him off the game area for a change and have his coach talk to him about that behavior.

Have the young official drop the puck at the beginning of the game. If you want to drop the puck after each goal, have the young official do so or simply throw the puck in the corner and let the kids keep playing.

The young official will get the opportunity to get the feel of the game, how to skate to keep up to the play and with the smaller area how to move to keep out of the play. All of these officiating aspects help ensure we develop & promote experiences for on-ice officials, which is an investment or the game as a whole.

What about off-sides, icings?

For cross-ice hockey there are no off-sides or icings, just let the kids play! The players will have ample time to learn these rulings at the later stage (Atom).

What do we do after a goal (face-offs?)

At IP level, you can designate an area or draw a line using bingo dabber that players on team that scored have to skate back to give team who was scored on time to regroup. If using a coach/official they can place puck in designated area for play to continue, be flexible!

If hosting a jamboree style, officials can drop puck and set-up face off or use designated line ruling as suggested in bullet 1.

106

What size nets should we use?

Recommended for IP – 2 x 3 – 3 x 4 or smaller. If you don’t have the smaller nets, try flipping net over using bottom size. Use regular size nets if no other option is available.

What coaching levels do you require for IP?

Coaches are required to have Coach Level 1 Trained to assist at the IP level. CLICK HERE for the HNL coaching requirements document.

Should there be full time goaltenders?

For IP, no full time goalies. When using the smaller nets 2 x 3, goaltenders are not necessary.

What if we don’t have the boards, dividers?

If you don’t have the boards, use the dividers. If you don’t have the dividers, use coaches to put puck(s) back into play. Use pylon to divide

the zones. Should games still be 5 vs. 5?

Improvise! Try 4 on 4, 3 on 3. Depending on the numbers available. Whatever keeps the players moving and engaged. Cater to your needs!

If for example you have 15 players, could split into two games, with buffer zone. How much do you smaller nets cost? Prices will range on shipping costs, how many you’re ordering (Starting at $500). More information on Page. 4 How much do foam dividers cost? Prices will range on shipping and quantity ordered. Standard foam divider set will start at $1500.00. With foam dividers there is an option to have screen windows added to the divider this would allow the potential to put sponsor logos on the divider. This can help drive the cost down for the purchaser.

• Cross-ice vs. Full-ice: Puck Touches 2X More, Pass Attempts 2X More, Shot Attempts 5X More, Passes Received 6X MORE!

• More children get a chance to play hockey. • Hockey IQ, or understanding the principles of the game, is being developed at a young age. • More children will experience a feeling of success when playing hockey. • The same exciting and fun environment as in a “real” game is created. • Both more and less gifted children will benefit from close/tight action on the ice. • Children are excited and motivated to continue playing hockey. • Hockey will be more appealing and rewarding to a wider range of children and their parents. • Group sizes become smaller which means learning and teaching will become more effective. • The close feeling of belonging to a team will motivate a child to participate with even greater

enthusiasm. • More repetition/frequency in drills in one ice session. • More frequent line changes in the game means more ice time for each player. • Children remain active between their shifts with various activities in the neutral zone. • The feeling of being an important part of the action increases because of the small size of the

rink. • The children have more energy with which they can improve their skills when they are skating

85 feet across the ice surface as opposed to the 200-foot length of the ice surface. • Playing on a smaller surface allows for more puck contact resulting in improved puck control

skills. • Decision-making skills are enhanced as more decisions must be made more frequently at a

5

higher tempo. • Individual technical skills develop more quickly. • Scoring skills are enhanced since the players have more shooting opportunities and the child

sized goal nets challenge the players to shoot more accurate. • More repetition for goalkeeper’s which improves reading of the game and reaction to changing

game situations becomes more effective. • The game is full of continuously changing situations. • The speed in playing situations increases, which will require quicker mental and physical

reactions by the players this is because there are no unnecessary breaks in the game. More options for ice set ups:

Novice Hockey

Half-ice Guidelines

Rationale: To build on the changes brought in at the Initiation Program level with regards to the sizing of ice space, equipment and other areas for the youth hockey development structure. Hockey NL has mandated that ALL novice hockey games beginning in the 2017/18 season, are to be played in a half-ice setup. The smaller ice surface will support more competitive, fun and overall better development for our youth hockey players. The intent of this package is to cover off areas with regards to the implementation of the half-ice program for Novice hockey. Ice Surface Layout: With certain ice time restrictions and/or jamborees taking place at the Novice level a 4 team playing structure is possible, however 2 teams playing at the same time with a development zone is the recommended ice surface layout. Using dividers or half-ice boards, two different options are:

1. 2 teams playing: Divider at red line/or far blue line (Picture #1 Below) *Can use other half of ice for buffer zone and development zone for other teams/players to practice skill work.

2. 4 teams playing: Divider at red line and have two games taking place at one time (Picture #2 Below) *If using buzzer system, game & shifts must start at same time.

2 Team Set-up 4 Team Set-Up

110

2

Net Placement: 2 Teams Playing: One net is to be placed on the goal line (original crease markings), the second net is to be placed on the red ice line, using the centre dot for guide marking of placement (net centre of dot), this will allow for play to proceed behind the nets in each zone. Net Placement: 4 Teams Playing: One net is to be placed on the goal line (original crease markings), the second net is to be placed 5 feet in front of the centre ice red line using the centre ice dot as a guide marking. Divider would be place behind the nets on the centre ice red line to divide into two separate ice surfaces. Dividers: Dividers must be used to separate the ice/zones, half ice boards are encouraged to enhance the experience but are not mandatory. Nets: Smaller nets are encouraged for the Novice age group, however if not available Associations can use the regular size net. Pucks (Blue 4oz & Black 6oz): The blue puck is to be used throughout the Novice hockey season. Black 6oz pucks can be introduced at the last half of season in a practice setting, not to be used for games. Benches: Depending on ice set-up being used, teams may have to share bench(es). Game Warm-Up Time: The recommendation is to provide a 2-3 minute warm-up prior to the start of each game. Game Time & Shift Length: Recommended game times are 2 x 18 minute stop time periods. Shifts are to be two minutes in length and a buzzer will be utilized to signal a shift change, the clock is to stop the time during the shift change(s). Face-offs: Shift Change Face-off: A face off will take place after each shift change, utilizing the one of the ‘4’ face off dots in the respective zone. The official will determine what dot the face off will be held, determined where the play finished at the buzzer. Goaltending Covers Puck Face-off: When the goaltender covers the puck, and is un-playable the official is to blow the play and drop the puck on the left or right side of the net/dots. *When 4 teams are playing, space will be tighter in the neutral zone due to the nets being moved up, and the official may need to have the face-off just passed the neutral dots on the left/right side to allow more room for each team to set-up.

111

3

Goal or End/Start of Period Face-off: Face off is to be taken in the middle of playing surface. This can be identified by the official, suggestion is to use a bingo dabber or ice marker to label a dot close to the middle of the playing surface. Puck over the divider face-off: In the event that a puck travels over the divider, an official will retain the puck and a face off will take place at the dot closest to where the puck went out of play. Off-sides and icing: There are NO offside or icing calls for a half-ice game. Penalties: If a player(s) takes a penalty, that player is to be taken off to his/her respective bench and the team that receives the infraction call will play shorthanded for the remainder of that shift only. Scoring: 2 teams playing can use the main arena scoreboard. 4 teams playing, can utilize the flip scoreboards used for volleyball/basketball etc. Scheduling: Ideally Novice groups would be scheduled following IP groups to allow limited transition of dividers etc. Playing Numbers & Roster Size: The game structure will consist of 5 vs. 5 plus 1 goaltender for each team. Hockey NL understands the unique challenges of roster size consistency throughout the province. The recommendation is 12-14 players at the Novice level with 1 rotating goaltender. Officials: The guideline is a minimum of one official per game to a maximum of two per game. These officials are responsible for goal/penalty calls, face off determination etc. The goal is to help develop our youth officials and communication skills essential for official development.

Frequently Asked Questions: What about not learning offsides or icing, will that hurt a player’s development? No, a player will have lots of time to learn offsides and icing as they progress to the Atom level. The recommendation is that coaches teach the players in the last part of the season the fundamentals of icing and off-sides but the main focus in strictly on the players skill(s) development. It’s encouraged that coaches teach their player(s) to be engaged in the play and play within their respective positions. What about goaltending at the Novice level, where do we draw the crease? A recommendation is to use the bingo dabber to mark the crease. Dimensions to be used will be determined by the net size. Recommend start at goal post, draw out 3 feet and draw back to far post. Are we allowed to have full time goaltenders? Currently there is no mandate at the Novice level for goaltenders not to be full time. However, we recommended that the goaltending position is rotational and all players have an attempt throughout the season. Please submit any questions to [email protected]
