A couple of updates as we wrap up the 2022 season and move towards the 2023 season.   

The AGM, which wraps up the 2022 season will be held on January 25 2023 at 7pm at The Beer Institute. 1346 Water Street Kelowna BC.  Please plan to attend or send a team representative.  At the AGM there are Board positions available for election.  The positions for election are listed below.  Anybody that would like to run for a non executive position is encourage to put their name in the hat at the AGM.  The KMSL constitution stipulates that only an existing board member can run for an executive position. Up for election this year are:

 

President:  IAn Watson -Will let his name stand for re-election

Treasurer:  Miles Laing -Will let his name stand for re-election

Registrar:  Chad Bigattini -Will let his name stand for re-election

Division 1 rep:

Nathan Samaddar. -Will let his name stand for re-election

Division 2 rep: 

Nic Moretto -Will let his name stand for re-election

Division 3A rep: 

Devon Fairs  -Will let his name stand for re-election

Division 3B rep:. 

Vacant

Division 35+ rep: 

Jusitn Lebbon -Will let his name stand for re-election

Division 45+ rep: 

Jeff Nice    -Will let his name stand for re-election.

 

It is important that each team in good standing sends a member to the AGM.  The KMSL constitution requires us to have a quorum in order to conduct our required business so please have a team member attend.

 

The Board will work really hard to move the league back to our pre-COVID divisional alignments - meaning  Division 1,2,3A,3B, over 35 and over 45 for the 2023 season.  We will publish a rough divisional layout in late January immediately after the AGM.   

 

Registration for the 2023 season is now open.  You can email your application and pay your deposit electronically to our league administrator at kmsladmin@hotmail.com. The registration form is at www.kmsl.ca. under media/misc then documents.

 

Teams are strongly encouraged to select a team nickname.  For example Sterling “Hawks" or Encora “professional football club”.  These nicknames can follow a team while sponsors can change yearly.  The KMSL administration and accounting have extreme difficulty tracking performance bonds, fines and players when team names constantly change.   A permanent nickname would  go a long way to reducing our administrative time and expenses.  If you can, select a team nickname and keep it constant moving forward.
 

 

A reminder to ALL players, managers and officials of the KMSL:  discrimination of any kind on account of race, skin colour, ethnic, national or social origin, religion, or sexual orientation is strictly prohibited and punishable by lengthy suspension or expulsion from the league.  The board members and staff of the KMSL strive to create and operate a safe and inclusive league, free of the issues above.  Discrimination has no place in our league and will not be tolerated.
