Attached are web buttons that Hockey Canada sent out that we¦re requesting our MHA¦s put on their website, linking to Hockey Canada¦s Applications webpage (www.hockeycanada.ca/apps). Hockey Alberta hopes that this is something you can communicate throughout your organization as much as possible ahead of tomorrow¦s stream.
 
HOCKEY ALBERTA BODYCHECKING SURVEY
 
We want to communicate to you that we¦ve recently re-opened our Body Checking Survey that we originally created around our AGM in June. It¦s a short, 12 question survey that will provide valuable information to the Body Checking Committee. We ask that you push this survey out to parents, players, volunteers, etc in your organization as well. The survey can be found at www.hockeyalberta.ca on the main page or directly, here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HockeyAlbertaBodyChecking.
 
If you need any additional information, feel free to contact me.
 
Thank you,
