What do the numbers tell us?TRENDS ONLY – the numbers alone don’t tell us where individual skaters have gone.• Girls may switch from the youth program to the girls

program and vice-versa• Players going to and returning from Tier I programs (Jr.

Gamblers, Jr. Admirals)• Player transfers in/out for one season • Families moving out of AAHA boundaries• Players entering the High School program• Players who stop playing hockey altogetherThis information is being studied more closely to follow the movement of individual skaters and to determine the actual growth and loss we are experiencing throughout the program.

Avalanche

Program Operations Update

•Welcomed back Goalies, Inc this season – Continue to

improve our goalie training and support

•Teams practiced 2-3 times per week on average

•Pre-season Gamblers game at AFIC to raise funds for our

program – SUCCESS once again! • This should continue again in 2019

•“Learn to Play” program has grown to 43 skaters

Avalanche

Program Operations Offseason Focus•Champion Center

• How will this affect available practice times?

•Tournaments• AAHA will be hosting additional tournaments at Champion Center

• Jan 24-26: Squirt A/B (tentative)

• Feb 21-23: Peewee A/B (tentative)

• Girls Winter Classic and Monsters on Ice to move to Champion Center

• AAHA not hosting any 2020 State Tournaments

• Exact impact on volunteer requirements TBD

Avalanche

Program Operations Offseason Focus• Scheduling

• Master Game Scheduler and Master Practice Scheduler• Create procedure for coaches/team managers when adding new

games/tournaments• Master Schedulers need to be kept in the loop of all schedule changes

to prevent last minute cancellations and empty ice

• DIBs• More frequent updating of completed credits• Clarification of DIBs roles, credits awarded, and who can and cannot

create DIBs positions• Improved procedures to prevent late season cancellations

• Bantams moving to high school have no incentive to pay if invoiced• Final determination of credits per family still needs to be made for ‘19/’20

Avalanche

Program Operations Offseason Focus

•Sportsmanship/Zero-Tolerance Awareness• Improvement needed with behavior of coaches, parents, and kids in

AAHA

• It all starts with the adults!

• This also applies to behavior towards other AAHA members and

teams

• How can we change this culture?
