The Team Manager is a central figure in creating the flow of communication – not only within the team(players, parents and coaches), but between the team and all support systems such as the Minor HockeyAssociation, Division Managers, League Managers, other teams, referees and officials. By taking on theoperational aspects of the team, the manager enables the coach to focus on player development and on-iceinstruction to provide the players with rewarding hockey experiences.Every team will organize themselves slightly differently to best function in their surroundings, however,there are still many tasks that all Team Managers will need to complete regardless of what team they workwith. It is these tasks that are discussed in the Hockey Canada Team Manager’s Manual, launched in September2007 as part of Puck Drop ‘07’s Volunteer Week.The Team Manager’s Manual is available as a free download off the Hockey Canada website, and can be foundunder the minor hockey / volunteer section.This manual provides information to aid Team Managers in the smooth operation of the team throughout theseason.

The team is there to support and, through delegation, a‘divide and conquer’ approach can be extremely efficient.Numerous appendices including templates, samples and a glossary of terms have been integrated into the manualto assist the Team Manager in pre-planning and organization. The appendices are active documents that can bedownloaded and customized to fit your own team needs.Enter numbers and information into pre-made contact lists and player medical forms, incorporate team logos,utilize meeting and game checklists, and preview samples of team rosters, injury reports and stats sheets.The downloadable format ensures that the appendices remain current; new appendices may be added to thedocument based on requests received by Hockey Canada.One user describes the manual as a “great tool and much needed in our minor associations.

I think the below article highlights the need to change that thinking and let your player explore and learn about playing all positions. With the way hockey is evolving and systems are changing, I believe it is more important than ever for them to be able to play all positions. Bourne identity antagonist. They will learn so many things by doing this including timing, spacing, read and react situations, what works best and what doesn't work.
