TEAM APPAREL
Ed Sherman and Mike Graves presented two options for team apparel. Cleves' is the supplier. A navy melton cloth/leather jacket was presented with the Acadia logo in red and the position and name on the two sleeves. Lettering on the back of the jacket designating the team is an additional cost. The cost of the jacket is $120.00 plus HST including the lettering described above. A navy track suite with red lettering was also presented. The cost of the jacket is $35.00 and the cost of the pants is $17.00 plus HST and embroidering. Motion to approve the apparel described above and the prices was made by Ed, seconded by Harold and unanimously approved.
ICE TIME
Additional ice time has been located between Kentville arena and Acadia for the AA and AAA teams. All of the House and A/B teams will have one to two additional practices per season with Darren Burns and/or Jim Midgely and/or Mike Alcorn, and Axemen players at Acadia on Tuesday nights. The shared practice time for the AA and AAA teams will focus on skills with six to seven coaches on the ice and five to six stations with drills working on player development. Sharing the ice time with the AA and AAA teams, frees up additional ice hours in arenas for House league teams. As a result, there is an additional hour of ice time Monday night at 7:50 p.m. and second hour at 4:30 p.m. on Thursdays in Canning and Wednesday night at 8:30 p.m. A motion was made by Larry Rodrigues to approve the ice schedule prepared as of October 20th, 2004. The motion was seconded by Harold Fisher and unanimously approved.
REP FEES
Ed Sherman has presented the structure which was reviewed in detail. The Rep fee structure is based on 22 weeks of hockey and a total cost per team for 22 weeks of $9,070.00 including ice time and time keepers. The would be divided between the total number of players and from that would be deducted the registration fees paid to either KAMHA or East Kings. The balance would represent the players' Rep fees due to Acadia Minor Hockey Association. It was noted that some adjustments would have to be made in relation to additional costs for time keepers at the Midget and Bantam level. The motion was made by Lynn Connors that the Rep fees as presented by Ed Sherman with the necessary adjustments to be made be approved. The motion was seconded by Larry Rodrigues and unanimously approved.
COMPLAINT ARISING OUT OF SELECTION OF PLAYERS FOR PEE WEE A TEAM
Lynn Connors reported on her lengthy discussions with the parents of the child who was not selected for the Pee Wee A team but returned to the Pee Wee B team. Lynn reported that, from her perspective, it would be beneficial to try to bring closure to the matter to set up a meeting with the parents with an individual involved in the evaluation process. A general discussion occurred during which time concerns were raised about whether or not this meeting would result in some type of resolution of the issue or create further conflict. A resolution was made by Ed Sherman that the parents receive the cut off mark for the Pee Wee A team and the final accumulative score for the child in question. This motion was seconded by Mike Graves and unanimously approved.
50/50 TICKETS
Sheila Bower-Jacquard reported that the weekly winner would be announced on air as opposed to being drawn on air by AVR/ Magic 97. She advised that T J's Convenience Store in Aldershot is carrying tickets and the store was receiving $.25 per ticket sold and the owner is providing half of that to the employee who sold the ticket. Three local Pharmasaves are also carrying tickets as well as Cleve's in Kentville and New Minas with the same financial arrangement being $.25 per ticket as being given to the store who sold them. Ticket sponsors will be advertised on the KAMHA website. Sheila advised that she required a team list so she could start the ticket sale process. In KAMHA, parents will receive a credit for 90% of the tickets sold, the Acadia Minor Hockey Association will receive 25% of the tickets sold, and East Kings will receive 50% of the tickets sold.
Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
