2. There are three (3) mandatory items required as part of the Membership Application process:

   • All applicants are required to submit their Constitution, Bylaws and Regulations as verification for Bylaw 203 and 213; this can be uploaded at time of application.

3. Name Changes:

   • Organizations that adjust their name from the previous season will be flagged during the review of your membership application for consideration by the BC Hockey Board of Directors.  During this process our office may be in contact seeking any necessary information required in the approval process.  An organization that wishes to change their name at any point after the May 31 should notify our office immediately in writing, stating any background information for the name change.

4. Personnel Changes:

   • Should an organization have a change in personnel during the season we ask that you please advise the BC Hockey office so that our records can be as up to date and accurate as possible.

5. Certificate of Good Standing:

   • A section has been added to the Membership Application asking to submit a recent Societies Act Certificate of Good Standing, this can be uploaded at time of application.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated assistance in dealing with this process.  If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact the BC Hockey office, 250-652-2978 or info@bchockey.net.
