Branch - Start of a New Season Checklist

At the start of each season, some items need to be reviewed to make sure they are up-to-date or need to be set up for the season. Below is a checklist for you to follow with links to the detailed user guide for each section.

Organization/General: Check general information for accuracy.

Organization/Users: Review users and roles to confirm if they need to be modified.

Organization/Staff: Review staff and update if necessary.

Settings/Organization/Background check: Review and update if necessary.

Settings/Organization/Documents: Check if new documents can be requested during the registration process.

Settings/Categories: Categories are set by Hockey Canada. Branches can activate the desired categories so that they are accessible to sub-organizations.

Settings/Team restrictions: Review/create/update team restrictions.

Catalog/Waivers: Last season's exemptions will be retained, but you can update them if necessary. Create new dispensations if necessary.

Catalog/Questionnaire: Create questionnaires.
