a local website chat forum. Mark will
hold a parents meeting at his tryouts to disclose and discuss the remarks, with
Mark Kennedy and Joe Reynolds in attendance to address any concerns parents may
have. A motion was made by Bob Felser to
have legal counsel pursue opportunities that would reveal the instigator of the
comments, motion 2nd by Mike Frey.
Motion unanimously approved.
An ad for the Fall Face-Off Tournament was placed in Hockey
weekly, and coaches from last years’ LCAHL teams have been notified of the
event. Commitments have been slow to
date.
Six or 7 players have committed to the Bantam AA team. Mark Kennedy will contact the coach to review
the status of the team.
Coaching applications were reviewed for B level teams. Coaching assignments will be made after the A
and AA tryouts.
Players will be notified immediately that they must attend the appropriate A or AA tryout and be cut from that team in order to be eligible for the Buckeye or B teams. This guideline is intended to prevent our organization from competing against itself for players.
Coaches / team members are being asked to clean out lockers as
new lockers are being assigned. Locks
will be removed from lockers if need be.
The concept of synthetic ice was reviewed and will be
investigated and discussed with Tom Kline.
Promedica would like to be a sponsor for SMAHL. Thank You!!
