An update for Tournament Sanctioning from BC Hockey January 2010:

Just  to follow up on the item mentioned at the last District meeting in regards to tournament hosts and responsibilities, the MHA tournament application form has been recently updated now. The point below is the addition to the form:
-  "It is the Tournament Hosts responsibility to verify that all participating teams are properly registered and sanctioned with  their appropriate Branch or Federation.  Please contact your Divisional/District Director should you require any assistance".
In short, if you are hosting, you should be asking the teams coming in to your tournament for a copy of their HCR rostered team. In the case of out of Province / out of Country teams, also a letter from their approving body saying it is okay for them to attend as well.

If you are planning on attending any tournaments, you must get prior approval from BC Hockey.
IMPORTANT:  The following conditions must be met or disciplinary action may result.
1. Local league and play-off commitments have been met.
2. The event is sanctioned
3. All opposing teams are apporpriately registered members of a Hockey Canada/BC Hockey recognized Organization.
4 All original game sheets will be mailed to appropriate people upon the team's return. 
5.  If permission is granted to travel outside of Canada,personal insurance must be obtained, as Hockey Canada will not respond a primary coverage.
