Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association

What Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association does

Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) is a not-for-profit community society incorporated in 1963 under the BC Society Act, delivering organized minor hockey programs to youth aged 4–21 in Coquitlam, British Columbia. The association operates as a Tier 1 member within the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association (PCAHA) under BC Hockey and Hockey Canada, offering tiered age-division programming (Mini C for 4–5 year olds, U7, U9, U11, U13, U15, U18, and U21) split between recreational ('C') and competitive ('A') pathways. CMHA serves over 1,200 members, runs entirely on a volunteer Board of Directors with administrative support staff, and delivers all on-ice programming at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex under a municipal partnership with the City of Coquitlam.

The technology footprint is modest and entirely third-party: registration, scheduling, and member communications run through TeamSnap, while player qualification and transfers are tracked via Spordle (formerly the Hockey Canada Registry). The association's broader ecosystem includes a healthcare partnership with Strive Health and Performance and Complete Concussion Management Inc. for concussion baseline testing and Return to Play protocols, plus sponsor relationships with local businesses, Prospera Credit Union, and provincial and municipal government partners.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) tiered player registration fees ranging from $730 (U21 early bird) to $1,075 (U11 regular), with early bird discounts, tryout fees, jersey deposits, and installment billing; (2) sponsorship revenue across Title, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Community, and Tournament tiers, managed by a dedicated Sponsorship Coordinator; and (3) event fundraising, including the annual Coach vs Coach Game benefitting SHARE food bank. A $100 per-player deposit is required at registration, and financial assistance is available through KidSport, Jumpstart, Athletics for Kids, Hockey Canada Assist, and the CMHA Foundation Fund.
