PLAYER MOVEMENT - The deadline for requests for players to play up or down a division (player movement) is May 15th.  Applications should be submitted to the Administrator (tbirdhockey@vancouvertbirds.ca) and a copy must be submited to the appropriate VP as well on or before this date.  Please see the VTMHA Player Movement Policy for more information (http://www.vancouvertbirds.ca/Text/1131494921062-9822/pC/1131668791000-6758/uploadedFiles/1281903496948-5961.pdf)  Please direct any questions and copies of your requests to the VP overseeing the division in which you are requesting the move to.  VPRep - vprep@vancouvertbirds.ca; VP House - vphouse@vancouvertbirds.ca; VP H1 to H4 -vpinitiation@vancouvertbirds.ca.

Please note that in addition to the considerations outlined in the the Player Movement Policy, the availability of space in Hockey 2 to Hockey 4 and House may be a factor in granting player movement.

HOUSE BALANCING: Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association (PCAHA) has set the deadline for team balancing to December 1st.   The cooperation of all players, parents and coaches is required to ensure that the task can be completed as quickly and fairly as possible. For this very reason the DRAFT policy for all divisions from Hockey 3 and above was recently revised by the Board and will be STRICTLY adhered to.
Please Note: We do our best to accommodate soccer at the Hockey 1, 2, 3 & 4 divisions. However, because of the large number of House teams at each division and the ice constraints that we are faced with it is NOT possible to arrange our teams around soccer for the Atom aged and above players.


EQUAL ICE TIME:  PCAHA demands that all players regardless of playing ability receive equal ice time. This rule is strictly adhered to at House. The policy for Rep teams is applied more generally on a seasonal basis rather than game by game.


ZERO TOLERANCE: Our Association has a zero tolerance policy regarding Harassment and Abuse. Signed Codes of Conduct are required of ALL our coaches, players and parents. If you require more information please contact our Risk Manager/ Harassment & Abuse Officer,.


EQUIPMENT:  Any Association hockey equipment that is intentionally damaged in any way will be billed to that player. Name bars and letters that are not removed without damage to the jerseys will result in forfeiture of the jersey deposit.
