With the goal of improving our communication with the parents of Wild players, we are taking the initiative to send email updates as required. In the past, we have asked our team managers to send association updates via email but will now relieve our managers from this task. Given that our main vehicle of communication is our web site, our email correspondance will generally include links to more detailed information on our web site. Note that you may have received some of the info below from your team managers earlier this year.
1. Team Liaisons
We have assigned one Wild Board member to each team to act as a Team Liaison. The primary functions of the Liaison is to improve communication between each team and the Wild Board and to increase our visibility and communication with parents and staff. The Team Liaisons are:
Min. Bantam: André Tondreau (risk@wildaaa.ca)
Maj. Bantam: Marc Richer (registrar@wildaaa.ca)
Min. Midget: Michel Brunet (equipment@wildaaa.ca)
Maj. Midget: Gaetan Perriard (leaguerep@wildaaa.ca)
The expected responsabilities of the Team Liaison's are:
1) Be the first point of contact for both staff and parents when there is an issue that cannot be resolved at the team level. The team liaison will attempt to mediate the conflict to a satisfactory resolution. If this cannot be achieved, he/she will bring the issue to the Board for conflict resolution.
2) Attend approximately 1-2 games per month throughout the season. At these games, the Team Liaison will have a brief chat with the coaching staff to discuss any potential or actual issues or concerns. The Team Liaison will also arrange with the Team Manager to facilitate a brief meeting with the parents prior to the game to explain the role of the Team Liaison and invite them to provide any feedback, both positive and negative, regarding the team as well as the association. The Team Liaison will notify the Coach and Manager in advance of his/her attendance to the games.
3) Arrange for the completion of the mid-season and year-end evaluation forms in November and January. The evaluations from the players will be organized before a practice whereas the evaluations from the parents will be at a game. The Team Liaison will advise the Coach and Manager approximately 2 weeks in advance of these evaluations so that the Team Manager can provide adequate notice to the players and parents.
Team Liaisons will report back to the Board at our monthly meetings.
Should you have any questions about the team liaisons, do not hesitate to contact our VP of Hockey Operations.

4. Wild Alumni
