Arena Manager’s Report:

Ø                  Jesse asked if the January 2006 ice bills had been paid.  Shelli will look into it and pay them if they have not already been paid.  He also gave Shelli the ice bills for November and December 2006 for payment.

Ø                  The Board and the Association would like to thank Agate Electric for the many long hours worth hundreds of dollars which was donated during the remodeling of the kitchen.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Ø                  The Squirt tournament is scheduled for January 19 - 21, 2007.

Ø                  The B1 Bantam District tournament is scheduled for February 16 - 24.  We need to provide people to work the penalty box/clock and run the concessions.

Ø                  The Duluth PeeWee tournament, which is hosted by the Aerial Stars, is scheduled for February 23 - 25, 2007.  We have agreed to have the concession stand open.

Ø                  The girls’ hockey league has started and appears to be going well.  Other area schools have asked about joining and information will be provided to them.

Ø                  Jesse ordered the protective nets and hopes to receive them this week.

Ø                  Jesse also indicated there is available ice time.  It was decided that next year, if there is available ice, the Association may donate the time and have a community skate.

 

Tournament Director’s Report:

Ø                  Travis reported that the PeeWee tournament was great!  There was some controversy over a ref’s call to eject a Proctor player, but the remainder of the tournament went well.

Ø                  The skate sharpening was a huge success and it is hoped that someone will be available to sharpen skates for each tournament.

Ø                  Travis indicated this will be his last year being the Tournament Director.  He’s hoping someone will step up to the task for next year.  If anyone is interested, please contact Travis or any Board member.

 

Concession Stand Update:

Ø                  Kristi met with the Department of Health on this date. The biggest concern and requirement is that a hand sink be installed.  Greg indicated this shouldn’t be a big problem to install.  There were some other minor violations, most of which Kristi has already taken care of.

Ø                  Kristi indicated this will also be her last year of running concessions.  She is hoping someone will step up to the task for next year.  Julie Smith is planning to continue which will make this responsibility less daunting if it’s shared.  If you are interested or know of anyone who is, please see Kristi or a Board member.

 

Old Business:

Ø                  The Blackwood’s fundraiser was moderately successful with $1,600 worth of gift certificates being sold resulting in $400 for the Association.  Nick Hendrickson was the highest seller and will receive 8 tickets to a UMD hockey game from Blackwood’s.
