Whalers 50/50 Communication 2021/22

Whalers 50/50 Communication 2021/22
 
Welcome back everyone to another Whalers hockey season. Last year we ran a successful 50/50 and did extremely well. We are hoping to build on that success and have incorporated your feedback into our fundraising framework for the year. 50/50 credits from last season applied helped reduce registration costs by over $27,000 for raffle participants. In one case paying the entire registration cost for a single player. We hope to add to that this year. There will be some changes to our ticket prices and we will be incorporating a second draw for a Pro Hockey Life gift card after each main draw.
           
Like all good fundraisers it’s important to receive feedback and continuously adjust the recipe to build on our success year after year. This year the ticket prices will be in line with the feedback we received.
 
·        3  for $5
·        7  for $10
·        15 for $20
·        50 for $50
 
The top ten fundraisers for each draw will be placed in a second draw following the main one for a $100 Pro Hockey Life gift card.
 
We have also had to implement a threshold on how many tickets an individual sells in order to have it apply towards their registration. Due to the immense administrative cost of adding all the credits to the system a player will have to raise a total of $25 minimum worth of credit to have it applied. With the ticket sales breakdown giving 36.5% of the sales to the individual you would have to sell roughly $68 worth of tickets over the course of the 6 draws throughout the season. For those that do not reach the $25 minimum credit threshold your credit will be diverted to the Mary Beth Chaulk fund strengthening support for our Whalers Community.
 
Special note for U18 players. You will be receiving email notifications for the raffle such as information and your unique URL (Link) to sell 50/50 tickets. If you end up playing for a high school team and wish to opt out of fundraising emails please let us know.
 
I wish you all good luck this year! Please feel free to email myself at fundraising@whalers.org for any questions related to the draw or for team fundraising inquiries. I am here to help and like always your feedback is appreciated.

Rec updates october 8th

 

Recreation Update
 
A warm welcome again for our Recreation participants.  Below you will find the ice times for Recreation for next week.  We will commence the Balancing process starting Wednesday, October 13th and hope to have most teams balanced by October 17th.  Some exceptions may apply for the U15 and U18 groups, as we are waiting for final try-outs to be completed.  Teams for U11 and U13 practices will be posted by Monday, October 11th.  For U15 and U18 practices, all registered players are asked to attend.
 
Squads for balancing scrimmages will also be posted early next week, as soon as we get final confirmation of those participants coming to Rec from the Rep Try-out process.  
 
Finally, should your participant wish to be placed on a team with a friend, please make this request through the google document below.  We will do our best to accommodate these requests, but given we are also trying to balance teams, not all requests may be able to be fulfilled.  
 
 
Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Divisional Coordinator, also listed below.  Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and thank-you to all of the volunteers involved!

Updates on Hockey NS Rebound Plan 2.0

Happy Friday Whalers

Please find below a message from Hockey Nova Scotia in regards to the new Rebound Plan 2.0, please take a moment to read through.  With the moving to Phase 5 earlier this week, Hockey NS rebound plan has been updated and one of the important changes parent and players will be happy to hear is that Covid pre-screening forms are no longer required to be completed.  We do ask that players still do a quick pre-screen before coming to the rink and if not feeling well or have any symptoms we ask them to not come to the rink and to go and get tested.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Earlier this week, Nova Scotia has transitioned into a modified Phase 5 of the provincial reopening plan. As we noted last week, Phase 5 plan begins cautiously. While some restrictions have been lifted, others have been maintained.
 
With these changes in mind, we have updated our return plan. Attached to this email, you will find Hockey Nova Scotia - Rebound Plan 2.0
 
Rebound Plan 2.0 is an entirely revised document. We encourage you to review it in its entirety.
 
The new plan also links to the Hockey Nova Scotia COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. We ask that you also take the time to familiarize yourselves with it.
 
As we cautiously prepare to lift some of the restrictions that were in effect last season, we must continue to work together and follow the protocols and advice of Public Health. The safety of our entire membership remains our top priority and we all have a role to play.
 
Let’s continue to work together respectfully as we prepare for a new hockey year in the hopes of making it the best possible experience for those who love this great game.
 
Yours in Hockey,
 
Amy Walsh

Coaches/Managers Meeting and Credentials

Coaches/Managers Meeting and Credentials

 
Welcome back coaches, managers and team officials!  We are getting ever closer to naming our teams and the assignment of coaches and their staff for the 2021/22 season.  We can not thank you enough for your continued support, time and efforts both on and off the ice.  
 
With league play/games (Rec and Rep) estimated to start November 1st and team practices/activities commencing sooner, we would like to remind coaches and team staff of the requirements needed in order to be rostered to teams.  This includes the CRC process and the Hockey Nova Scotia Respect in Sport program.   There will be no exceptions to this policy.   You can find more information regarding the requirements on our website at:
 
 
Please familiarize yourself with this information and please ensure that you get all of your accreditations prior to November 15th.  We will be asking Divisional Coordinators to follow up with each team (Rec and Rep) to ensure all team officials meet or exceed the requirements needed. 
 
If you require any coaching certifications through Hockey Nova Scotia, you can find more information at:
 
 
Clinics fill up fast, so if you plan to coach or are new to coaching, please register for a clinic now and ensure that you get your designations as soon as possible.
 
We will be hosting a Coaches/Manager's meeting for all coaches on Monday, October 18th at 7pm, location to be confirmed.  This will be to familiarize all coaches and teams of DWMHA policies and answer any questions you may have with respect to the 2021/22 season.  We will send out a sign-up sheet closer to this date, but please circle it in your calendar.  Only one coach and manager per team will be required to attend.
 
Welcome back!  We look forward to seeing you at the Rink!!
