Philosophy of Summit Hockey

Summit Hockey allows boys and girls to participate in recreational and competitive ice hockey programs. In addition to individual and team skill development, Summit Hockey seeks to foster the development of the “whole” child, including such life skills as sportsmanship, mutual respect, integrity, responsibility, teamwork, and friendship.

Governance

Summit Hockey is governed by a Board of Directors selected according to Summit Hockey Bylaws, each holding one vote. Approximately one half of the Board of Directors is elected each year to provide for overlapping terms. The Board of Directors elects the officers who serve a one or two-year term. The officers comprise the Executive Committee and conduct day-to-day business of Summit Hockey while the Board of Directors is responsible for policy decision and management.

Each Board member assumes supervisory responsibility for one or more organizational functions. Board members also serve on one or more Summit Hockey Committee such as (and not limited to): fundraising, budget and finance, and conflict resolution. All Board members, managers, and coaches must register with CAHA and provide a confirmation copy on file with the association.
