Arena Manager’s Report:

Jesse reported that the weight room is finished. Greg N. will check on dates with Bodies in Balance for training of coaches in the weight room. Speaker wires will be installed in the weight room.

So far, there have been no problems with the ice.

Building maintenance: Jesse will make a list of priorities for improvement on the building. Once compiled, we will ask the County for assistance with these improvements.

The scoreboard is still not operational. We should know by Dec. 12 if it is repairable or not. Much work has been done on it, but with no success.

Tournament Director’s Update:

Todd reported that emergency personnel must be present if there are more than two teams participating in a game, at any level. Squirt level and up must have an EMT available in the building.

For each tournament for PeeWees, Bantams and Squirt levels, an assistant director needs to be in place. For the PeeWees, it will be Travis Kempffer and Roger Schramm; Bantams it will be Shane Homstad and for the Squirts, it will be Greg Nordean.

A.C.E. Coordinator:

Coaches will be meeting after the holidays. Discussed so far is the desire to give some sort of certificate for those players with perfect attendance at practice. Greg will create a reward of some sort.

Ø Sandy has been in contact with Eichelle & Schilling Association and they have agreed to be our accountants for the taxes and gambling. Esterbrooks will process payroll for the Association.

Ø We believe we have a coach for the girls’ hockey program. There will be no Association fees; however, there will be ice fees which will be divided among the participants.

Ø There are still approximately ten kids with candy bar money still owing. Please get this turned in ASAP!

Ø Angel Poe-Johnson has agreed to be our new web creator for a yearly amount of $600.

Ø Silver Bay needs $3100 to cover the cost of the uniforms for the Bantam team and for tournament costs.

Ø We are contemplating another Power Skating clinic. Sandy will check into the possibility of some time in February 2008.

Ø The Association is going to have a float in the Winter Frolic Parade on February 8. There will be further discussion at the next meeting.

Ø Tanya will look at the cost of placing pull tab machines in various facilities.

Ø It’s Hockey Weekend Across America in February. The Association will look into participating in this in some way.

Ø This year marks the 60 year anniversary of the THYH Association. Sweatshirts will be sold but only by pre-sale. More will be discussed at the next meeting.

Ø There is some concern about whether there will be enough volunteer opportunities for parents to get their hours in. Shelly is looking at additional possibilities and will bring them to the next meeting. A reminder to parents to continually check the board for opportunities and sign up for them right away. So far, there have been several games where there weren’t enough volunteers. The season is quickly coming to an end and those without their time in will be charged $10 for each hour not worked.
