We are considering putting together a CHBA hockey team in the Fall, subject to interest. This team would compete at the beginner/novice level, which means you should be able to skate, (you have all summer to learn) but no hockey skills are required.

There are a total of 14 games in the season - one game a week at one of four arenas in Greater Victoria. All players must have full equipment. Games start at 9:30 pm or 10:30 pm.

The cost to participate is $280 per player with a maximum of 18 players and 2 goalies. If we get a large group, we can base participation on a “pay as you play” basis, which means you're not committed to play the entire 14 games.

The purpose is to have fun and enjoy some recreational exercise for CHBA members - both men and women. If you are interested in participating, please contact the CHBA office as soon as possible.

For more information on the hockey league, go to www.victoriahockey101.com

CHBA-BC is asking builders to fill out a Residential Trade/Occupation Survey to provide better labour/skills data for the future. An electronic version of this survey is available online at www.surveyconsole.com/console/TakeSurvey?id=191922

Survey participants are eligible to enter a draw for a $250 Home Hardware Gift Card, provided the survey is completed by 4:30 pm PDT, July 31, 2006.
