Competitive Player Evaluation and Selection Questionaire

Nanaimo MHA introduced a revised Player Evaluation and Selection Policy for the 2009-2010 season in an attempt to bring fairness and openness to the selection of players for our competitive teams. Revising the Policy was always meant to be a dynamic process and a committee has been tasked with the responsibility of revising the Policy and improving on the process for the 2010-2011 season.

The NMHA Board of Directors and the committee is seeking feedback from coaches, parents and players on ways in which the Policy and process can be revised to better meet our objectives.
