Red Deer Minor Hockey Association (RDMH) will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the upstairs meeting room of the Pidherney Centre. All members are encouraged to attend and participate in this important event, which includes the election of directors for the upcoming 2025-2026 hockey season.
Each family with at least one player registered for the 2025-2026 season is eligible to vote, with one vote permitted per family. A membership fee of $1.00 (loonie) will be collected at the door for voting eligibility. The AGM provides a valuable opportunity for members to stay informed about the association’s direction, ask questions, and contribute to decision-making processes.
During the meeting, elections will be held to fill five (5) Board of Director positions, each with a three-year term and one (1) Board of Director position for a 1 year term. These positions are essential to the leadership and operation of RDMH, and we encourage interested members to consider standing for election.
Any member who wishes to run for a position on the RDMH Board of Directors must complete and submit a nomination package by Friday, June 6, 2025 at noon.
Nomination package can be found on our website under the AGM tab.
Your involvement matters. Attending the AGM and participating in the election helps ensure the continued strength and success of minor hockey in our community. For further information or to request nomination materials, please contact the RDMH office at the email above.
