May 30th

(The Pas) - The U15 (formerly known as Bantam) NorMan Wolves held their annual awards banquet on Saturday, May 24th at the Wescana Inn, in The Pas.  The event was well attended, and included former and current WHL players Chase Bertholet, Evan Herman and Jomar Cruz, who spoke to the team.  Team members from Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas, Norway House and Cross Lake came together for one final event of their season to celebrate the year and give out awards.  Families enjoyed a meal together, and a traditional Indigenous dance by the Michelle-Thompson family.

For a full listing of the award winners and photos, please visit facebook.com/groups/normannorthstars.

In addition, an announcement was made regarding the team name.  At the recent Annual General Meeting of NorMan Regional Minor Hockey Association, the U15 Program was informed that in order to maintain continuity, the program would be renamed the NorMan Northstars U15, after the U18 (Midget) program.  

The team now is fundraising for new jerseys by auctioning off the previously worn Wolves jerseys - which many talented players have donned over the past decade.  This will be done online via email, with updates on the U15 Northstars Facebook group and Instagram.

For any more information, please contact:

Head Coach - Andre Murphy, or 22/23 Manager - Brenda Conaty, who can be reached via email: u15normanwolves@gmail.com

Hockey Canada and its Members want to ensure that we have a safe space for raising concerns.   To help with that, Hockey Canada has established a new, fully independent, and confidential reporting mechanism for all individuals regarding any incidents involving Hockey Canada sanctioned programming. This reporting mechanism is known as the Independent Third Party led by Brian Ward and Erin Durant.   The role of the independent third party is to: receive all hockey related maltreatment, sexual violence, harassment, abuse or discrimination complaints against someone affiliated with Hockey Canada analyze complaints in light of Hockey Canada and Member policies and determine how they are to be managed and the proper jurisdiction; where applicable, ensure matters are properly reported to law enforcement or child protection services; retain investigators and dispute resolution panels who are also independent of Hockey Canada; work with Canada’s Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner and the Member associations to ensure no gaps in complaint coverage and that all complaints are handled in accordance with applicable policies and that decisions are documented in writing.
