This league has more people watching finances than any Minor hockey team or league I have ever been involved with and I have been involved with a lot, over 20 years in Minor hockey with both boys and girls. My understanding there is an HEO Minor person assigned to just that and works with the treasurer of the league.
We do not get given a specific line item for Head Coach, the amount published in the budget covers more than one staff member, and as I have mentioned before ours get paid direct from league. Thus not every Head Coach or Assistant would get the same in the league. In fact much of the budgeted items are dealt with directly by league that the teams have no involvement in at all.
What is unique to this league is that financially it is treated like an Assocition with all 12 teams reported as one entity, even the 73’s do not get a separate statement at the end of the season for what is spent by our Midget team, in fact under Hockey Canada it may even be an Association based upon the way I see the teams registered with HC. The combined financial report has been published for both seasons after being vetted vigorously by HEO Minor. It is a different set up than what people are used to.
