Welcome to calgary55plushockey.com

This is to update you on the situation regarding our Executive. We called for members to put their name forward if they wished to assume the available positions. We received one name for the position of Secretary and one for Commissioner.

As there were no additional persons putting their names forward for the above positions, the individuals named will be acclaimed and no vote will be required.

The executive will be as follows after our March AGM.

Commissioner Greg Klotz
Treasurer/Webmaster Don Walker
Secretary Ken Burton
Registrar Robert Crawley
 

I became Commissioner in 2018 and have enjoyed my experience and am pleased with the way the league has developed. I need to thank several people who have made my job a lot easier. In no particular order.
 

In 2017 Kevin D'Amico took over as Treasurer from Red Armstrong. The next season Kevin had shoulder issues and was unable to continue playing hockey.  Even though not playing in the league he agreed to stay on as Treasurer and continued in that role until this year. I truly appreciate all the work Kevin has done to keep our finances and reporting to the Alberta Government in order. Kevin has also worked with the city to procure and maintain all the ice contracts. He went to the city and procured ice for our Shouldice team when the city cancelled their rental at the Shouldice rink on very short notice.
 

Don Walker took over as secretary in 2018 and has handled that position perfectly. The previous webmaster was ill when Don volunteered to work on our website. With very little accurate history and a lot of work Don has created what you see today. Don also maintains the website and uploads any information we require.
 

Robert Crawley has the most time consuming job of all and has been our Registrar for the past 3 years. The league registration and CARHA Insurance go hand in hand and Robert manages to keep those two items up to date.  The coordinators have helped a great deal by providing accurate information and updating the Google Drive documents on a regular basis. Robert has introduced several systems to help keep track of this important information.
 

Bryan and Jane Alcock who were Commissioner and Registrar/ Webmaster until 2018 have always been available for questions and support and Allan Bon Bernard has provided advice and historical information which has helped with directing the league.

I also need to thank all the coordinators who make this league run. Without their efforts we would not have the organization we enjoy.
 

Now I need to thank the members who have agreed to stay on the board and those who have stepped up. Greg Klotz agreed to put his name forward a year ago and, in order to create a smooth transition, has worked with myself and been involved in all facets of the league since then.
 

Ken Burton has agreed to take over as Secretary and Don Walker  will move to Treasurer.  Don will also continue to look after all things Web related. He is a glutton for punishment apparently.
 

I hope you will thank these guys for stepping up when you see them at the rink.
 

I am hoping we all get back to the rink this spring. Next season has to be better than this one.

Regards

Alan Barrett

Commissioner
