Policies and Procedures

Canmore Minor Hockey Association © 2026

The purpose of the Canmore Minor Hockey Association (CMHA), in partnership with its members, is to promote the game of hockey through skill development, quality leadership, and understanding of teamwork and good sportsmanship, in an atmosphere of fun and positivity for all children. By enlisting the best volunteer-based coaches and support staff available in the Canmore region, it is the goal of the CMHA to foster personal excellence in each child, regardless of their skill level, and to increase individual self-esteem and dignity of all participants. All members of the CMHA pledge to incorporate a Safety-First approach into all aspects of the game of hockey.

Did you know that Canmore sits on the traditional territory of the Iyarhe Nakoda, also known as the Stoney Nakoda Nation? The Iyarhe Nakoda, meaning "mountain people", have called the Bow Valley home for generations. They are made up of three First Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney. Their deep connection to the land, water, and wildlife continues to guide how this region is cared for today. The traditional Nakoda name for the Canmore area is "Chuwapchipchiyan Kudi Bi", which means "shooting at the willows". As we gather to play the sport we love, we take a moment to recognize and respect the stories, traditions, and people who have always been here. It’s one small way we honour the spirit of community, respect, and reconciliation.
