Distribution of Funds

Associations and Major Teams

? Funds will be paid throughout the year via application through SMHA office

(Contact SMHA office for application)

? At year end, after the CBMHP expenses/bills have been reconciled,

associations will receive their players account totals for distribution.

Player Accounts

Parents must submit a request form to release the player account money

throughout the year. SMHA office checks with the Secretary/Finance

person/Treasurer of the Association or Major Team to determine if the player has

outstanding balance. Cape Breton Minor Hockey Partners will only release player

balance after their amount owing to the team is paid in full.

Family Accounts

Player accounts (Siblings in different organizations)

Families with siblings in different organizations will identify under

which player the tickets will be submitted during initial ticket distribution at

the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the association amounts

will be split equally among organizations for each player. For example, 2

children in the family playing for Cape Breton Minor Hockey Partners,

CBCMHA, BFHA = 50% shared cost of association earnings; 3 children =

33%; 4 children = 25%, etc.

Families with children on a major team and an association, the major

team player is considered independent of the association and therefore the

association player(s) must sell the minimum amount of tickets required by

their association.

Breakdown of ticket sale:

Association Players:

50% goes to the prize, 25% goes to the player, and 20% goes to

Associations (Goalie development, referees, player development, lower

registration fees, etc.), 5% goes to administration fees (cost to print the

tickets, lottery license fee, online fees, etc).

Major teams:

50% goes to the prize, 40% goes to the player, and 10% goes to

administration fees (cost to print the tickets, draw workers, lottery license fee, banking fees, etc)
