Arena Manager’s Report:

Jesse reported that the weight room is coming along very nicely.  It will cost approximately $2,000 to purchase interlocking matting for the floor.  It was determined that the entire floor area in the weight room does not need to be matted.

 

Jesse has started to put the ice in.  There is one huge problem and that’s the lack of a dehumidifier in the building which causes the ceiling to drip onto the newly laid ice and, because of the stain on the ceiling beams, it blackens the ice.  Jesse then has to paint over the colored spots.

 

Jesse has installed new hinges on the east doors so they how open and close nicely.  It was decided that we will continue to use paper towels in the bathrooms because of the cost factor of installing hand dryers.  He has installed new lighting in the bathrooms also.

 

A working weekend is scheduled during the power skating clinic for anyone wanting to put in some of their hours.

 

Jesse will install signs on the front of the building indicating a smoke-free zone within 20 feet of the building.

 

The first 2 weeks of ice time is posted on the board.

Tournament Director’s Report:  Todd Hansen has volunteered to be our Tournament Director, which the Board greatly appreciates. Todd will talk to Jesse about the updates to the position since Todd last held it.  Todd would like to have an Assistant Director at each level.

 

There will be Squirt, PeeWee and Bantam tournaments only.  Todd will work on having EMTs at the tournaments.

 

Todd has requested we purchase a set of walkie talkies for use during the tournaments.  They will be purchased.

 

Concession Stand Update:

Julie Smith will be in charge of the snack shack and Jesse Mickelson has volunteered to help her. 

We will again contract with Bernick’s Pepsi for the coffee and cappuccino with Bernick’s donating the slushy machine.

 

Amy will post the concession sign-up sheets in the next few days.

 

A.C.E. Coordinator:

Greg Nordean reported that the schedule has been established for the Power Skating Clinic with all of Group C attending and almost all of Group B attending.

 

A referee clinic has been scheduled for all second year Squirts and above can referee. It will be held on November 1 in Silver Bay from 5 - 10 p.m.

 

Greg will be meeting with the coaches and trying to arrange a meeting with all parents.

 

He has asked for some posterboard to be posted for coaches announcements.

 

Greg has one or two coaches that need to attend classes.  There is a Level 3 class set for Oct. 28.

 

He also requested that our meetings be moved to start at 7:30 p.m. because of previous commitments with the fire department meetings.  This was agreed upon.

 

He also requested a large dry erase board that can be hung from the plexiglass for the coaches to write on.

 

Each level of players will be given a bag of pucks that they will be responsible for collecting after each practice.

 

Old Business:

Ø                  501C3 status - we are unsure where this is at.

Ø                  We are looking for a coach for our girls’ hockey program.

Ø                  Bantams: they will be called the North Shore Bantams.  Socks, breezers and home and away jerseys will be purchased and split 50/50 with Silver Bay.  A motion was made by Sandy and seconded by Tim to approve up to $2,000 for this purchase.  Motion approved.

Ø                  A huge Thank You to all who helped with hockey registration!  It is a big job and is much easier to handle with many helpers.
