For all scorekeepers, timekeepers, and DJ’s. Please read the off-ice officials manual that our Referee in Chief Dave Maedel has developed to help everyone gain a better understanding of the roles and expectations of the volunteers in the box. There is a lot of valuable information in the document including rule explanations in the appendixes. So grab a coffee or tea and take a few minutes to read this document. CLICK HERE to read it. 

Thank you to Equinox Creative for a great photo day this year. The digital photo files have been sent out to the parents. It was emailed out to to the email address used when registering the player, so if you did not get it, that email address is where it will be. If you don’t have access to that address, check with your team manager.

With the digital files you can get your own prints made and you can share the photos on social media and by email. If you are interested in a memory mate like what was used to be handed out you can order one through this link: https://square.link/u/lW5KjMFU

As some of you have seen, at Equinox Creative they also offer other photo sessions, both individuals and to teams. There are examples on their site at http://equinoxcreative.ca/. They can recreate any or all of them, or make your own ideas come to life! These sessions will give you awesome photos that capture the kids in their element.

Contact rutger@equinoxcreative.ca for more information or booking. If your team does not have enough players but you are interested in having photos taken of your kids let them know and they can see if there is another team or combined group where your children can join a session.

The October Newsletter has been released.

The regular PMHA game jerseys are the black and yellow sets, distributed by team managers at the start of the season and returned at the end.

In addition, teams have the option to purchase a 3rd jersey through  Hometown Victoria.. This jersey is yours to keep and comes with a matching pair of hockey socks. Cost will be just under $100 per set (including tax, excluding printing of logos/names).

  • 3rd jerseys may be worn in games.
  • Sponsor logos are permitted, but all designs must first be approved by the PMHA President (president@pmha.bc.ca).
  • Orders must be placed through your Team Manager

The jerseys will be produced by Projoy, the same Canadian company that already makes PMHA’s official jerseys. Hometown will prepare the final manufacturing template for a quick turnaround once the design is selected.

We need your input!
Hometown has provided two design options (see images below). Please cast your vote for your favourite by Sunday, September 7th.

EDIT: The winner of the vote is the all white version depicted on the right. The tally was 59 votes vs 39.
