Recreational Hockey Calgary is now being run by an all volunteer committee. Over the next year, RHC will be going through the legal process of becoming an association with guidelines and bylaws. This association will be like any other hockey community association and will be run by volunteers. The following volunteers have presently stepped forward for this current year – Craig Robillard President; Phillip Carr Vice –President; Alan Bishop Treasurer; Laurie Remenda Registrar; Heather Thomas Secretary; Janet Hutchison Pee Wee Coordinator; Leslie Warner Midget Coordinator; Brian Pedlar Jr Coordinator.

 All information and correspondence pertaining to RHC registration, teams, schedules, tournaments etc. will be through the RHC web site only.  Do not phone Hockey Calgary for RHC business as Hockey Calgary staff will redirect your call to the RHC web site.

Registration for 2008-2009 RHC season is now open to past players from the 2007-2008 season from June 20 to July 1. Only after that date will applications for new players to RHC be accepted. Names will be collected and compared against last year’s list.

 Only online registrations will be accepted. If you have already sent in a cheque, this form of payment will not be accepted.  Payment will be by MasterCard or Visa only.

 Cost for the upcoming season will be $500. This fee will cover the following items: regular season ice, Hockey Calgary Registration fee, referee fees, jerseys, pucks and puck bags, storage, online registration and banking fees. No water bottles will be provided in the future. In order to keep costs down, this will be the last year that RHC wants to buy jerseys in bulk. At the end of the 2008-2009 all jerseys must cleaned, collected and will be placed in storage. If a player’s jersey is not returned at the end of season, they will not be allowed to register for the following season until a $30 fee is paid. .Socks will be bought every year.

If there are any RHC jerseys from previous seasons from any division not being used, RHC will appreciate to collect them at the beginning of the 2008-2009 season and will be placed into storage will be  used in the future. As well, the return of pucks and puck bags will be appreciated at the start of the season.
