Two Hockey Alberta officials were presented with awards for 15 years of volunteer service at a recent officials committee meeting.

Craig Decoursey and Dave Shaw have both dedicated their time on and off the ice to the sport of hockey for multiple years, and have rightfully been credited for their years of service.

Craig Decoursey

Within the committee both regionally and provincial Craig has held or been involved in almost all roles including but not limited to Committee Chair, Development Coordinator and Regional Chair.  Instructing clinics and the focus of supporting our grassroots programming was a primary focus while involved at the HAOC level after our transition under Hockey Alberta.  This passion project has transitioned him into the RIC Role supporting the AEHL/AFHL as these leagues continue to evolve.

Dave Shaw

Dave has been involved both on and off ice within the officiating and minor hockey programs within Alberta.  Specifically on the officiating committee side of the program he has been the Chair leading through the transition to working more collaboratively with Hockey Alberta, and now supporting it during the last 8yrs within the South Region.  As a life member since 2023 and currently holding the role in supporting female hockey in western Canada as the RIC for USport Canada West Dave’s continued support of the officiating program has been supporting at all level and corners of the province.
