·         Hockey cards received for the Spring IP kids were distributed during the last IP session.

New Business

·         Our costs for the upcoming season will increase by roughly $10 to cover an increase in per player costs to register the kids and to buy an improved quality of jersey.

 

=> Motion made by Pat Heldt to set the fees for the upcoming season at $340 for House and $225 for IP.  Motion seconded by Ken C.  Motion passed unanimously.

 

·         Pat Heldt led the discussion on a possible adoption of the USA Hockey “Cross-Ice” program for Mini-Mites.  The program was initiated 2 years ago by USAH to help develop the skills of the younger players, while decreasing the focus on competition at the youngest age group.  This program will be reviewed in detail at the July 8th board meeting.

The next House Board meeting is July 8th, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. in the Loft. 

There being no other new business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m..
