Ice bills for December in the amount of $8,457.50 were submitted for payment.  Jesse reported there Lester Park is the only association that is behind in their payments for ice time.

 

The scoreboard is working somewhat; some panels are not working yet (5 digits).  No quotes yet on the cost of a new scoreboard.  The County has indicated they would help with the cost of replacement if necessary.

 

Jesse is going to submit a list of improvements to the County.  Some of the items on the list will include: exterior and interior painting; fixing the concrete wall outside; larger storage building; improved stairwells; elevator for handicap accessibility; hand dryers for the restrooms; and a vent/air exchange for the locker rooms.

 

Tournament Director’s Update:

It was reported that the Girls’ tournament will need volunteers.  The PeeWee tournament went very well.  Volunteers are needed for the upcoming Bantam tournament, as well as for the Squirt tournament.

 

We will host the PeeWee District A tournaments in February and will be looking for many volunteers for that.

 

Todd submitted a letter with concerns he has with regard to tournaments and lack of volunteers.  That letter was distributed and team leads will be contacted to call upon parents in their teams to cover volunteer positions for these upcoming tournaments.

 

A.C.E. Coordinator:

We are still waiting for information on the power skating clinic.

 

A coaches meeting is being scheduled for the last week of January.  Greg will ask Amy Poe Johnson to come to the meeting to show the coaches use of the weight room equipment.            

 

Concession Stand:

Everything is going well in the concession stand.  It was determined that refs for the tournaments will be paid out of the concession stand funds, at the rate of $8.00 per game.

 

Old Business:

Ø                  The girls’ hockey program has begun!  They are skating on Sunday evenings.  The first night six girls participated.  We are trying to get the word out about this program so it can grow.  We are hopeful that there will be enough participation and interest by registration next fall. 

Ø                  Angel Poe-Johnson is waiting to receive information so she can start our new web page.  Jesse will work with Angel on the initial start up and when he has approved it, the new page will be launched!

Ø                  There will be a skate sharpening class held in the very near future.  It is hoped that several people will learn to sharpen skates and be available during tournaments.  We will be posting the skate sharpening hours so everyone will know when they can bring their skates in for sharpening.

 

New Business:

 

Ø                  The Association is going to have a float in the Winter Frolic Parade on February 8.  Anyone interested should meet at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church parking lot by 5:15 p.m.  You should wear your TH Hockey Association jersey.

Ø                  Tanya will meet with our new accountants on March 31 to discuss the gambling account.  The cost of the accountants will be approximately $5,000 - 7,500.
