2026-27 CRUSADERS COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT

Congratulations to the future CRUSADERS COACHES.

Thank you for volunteering your time to better our players.

You are receiving this email and we have redesigned the sign up for the AGM to address multiple members of a family attending, assigning voting rights and also weighted voting during the meeting. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is required to ensure a fair voting process and proper weights assigned to votes as Zoom has some system limitations and we are using alternate voting platforms. Please read carefully the information provided and the new link is at the bottom of the page.

Important: AGM Registration and Player Representative Declaration for the AGM

As we prepare for the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), we will be using an electronic voting system to manage our ballots. To ensure a smooth and secure process, all members who wish to attend must register and provided declaration by April 29th at 4:00 PM.

To attend, you must be a member in good standing. This is defined as follows in the WCMHA constitution: A member that is not currently suspended, and does not owe money to WCMHA or other hockey association(s) within Hockey Canada

How Voting Works According to the WCMHA Constitution, voting is allocated as one vote per registered player. If a player is under 18 years of age, the vote is exercised by a "Player Representative" (usually a parent or guardian).

You must be present in the AGM in order to vote.

Action Required: Household Declaration Because the electronic system allows for weighting value on a ballot rather than the "one person/one vote" protocol that is standard in Zoom polls, households with multiple family members attending or multiple children registered must decide who will cast the ballot(s).

When you cast your ballot, when you are voting for a role and if you have multiple votes, they will all be given to the selected candidate. If you wish to be able to split then you can do that by splitting what parent represents what child.

If you have one child: Please decide which parent/guardian will act as the Player Representative.

If you have multiple children: You may assign one parent to cast all votes, or split the representation (e.g., Parent A represents Child 1, and Parent B represents Child 2).

We kindly ask that you discuss this within your household and submit your declaration via this form. The email address you note on this form will be the one used to vote with, so remember how you signed up to vote.

Why Registration is Mandatory This information is required to audit our membership list and ensure the correct "weighting" is applied to your electronic ballot. This ensures that every player in the association is fairly represented.

Deadline: April 29th at 4:00 PM In order to allow our team time to verify voter eligibility and set up the secure balloting system, we cannot accept registrations after this time.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us run a fair and efficient election.

April 7th at the Canadian Tire Center the U15B1 Warriors laced up against the U15B2 Warriors. What an amazing end of the year experience for both teams. Game MVP's were Rylee Baird for B2 and Evan Guenther for B1.

Have a great summer!

What an incredible season for our U10 Crusaders! This group battled hard all year and earned their spot in the league semi-finals, a true testament to their teamwork, growth and determination.A big thank you to Coach Kevin Baird and the entire bench staff for their leadership, dedication and commitment to developing these players both on and off the ice. We would also like to give a shoutout to for hosting an amazing year-end celebration and for generously sponsoring our team. While it’s a bittersweet end to the season we couldn’t be more proud of this group for giving it their all every single game.
Go Cru! 💙💛'
