A/B/C Meeting
6:30 Heather’s Concerns
A LEAGUE
games have been pretty even Puckheads being at the wrong level?? No, they just have a short bench
and are tired.
Red Army/Northlanders/Puckheads….need to do some recruiting of old members back to league
Referees: I know there are some A players that have reffed. I’d like to get them back This seems to be a struggle at the A level and I’m working on it; I always prefer 2 refs. Encourage former referees to come back at least for one game every so often, recruit high school players to referee
B+ LEAGUE
Fundies dominating everyone…too many A players?
Maximum of three players from the next highest league can play down on one team. We’ll adjust
this spring.
Other three teams seem pretty even
B- LEAGUE
Very balanced Would like to see a few more players…three teams have 10 and a goalie, would like 11
C LEAGUE
Rink Rebels could play up as a team, one guy seems to dominate (Biel)
Discuss with the team to move ½ team up, leave ½ team down or all move up. Very balanced
otherwise
6:35-6:45 Meet with A/B/C teams amongst yourselves, come up with people/team concerns
6:45 A/B/C regroup – what needs to be done for each league to ensure balance and satisfaction
ALL LEAGUE MEETING
6:50 TAGS – why we changed to printed tags, what I’m trying to accomplish; permanent structures? Take
responsibility from scorekeeper, put back on players Offer deals at local businesses, looks more professional. $1 replacement cost
BUDGET
Explain difference from past year to this year Hand out budget so people can see where the money i
going
BOARD
Need a volunteer from each level to serve on the board Not difficult; usually just a sounding board for discipline issues, figure out my compensation package, listen to people complain about me
Ben Elliot (C), Steve Elmer (F), Nick Hulst (E) and Dick Pfarrer (D) have volunteered, could still use A/B+/B- reps.
ARENA ISSUES
Lighting – dangerous, creates liability issue
Skate Sharpening – no one in arena to use the BladeMaster anymore
Please direct all suggestions to d.brighton@cricearena.com and if no response the next level will be m.silva@uscellularcenter.com
7:00 OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DISCUSS D/E/F Meeting
7:10 Heather’s concerns
D LEAGUE
Outlaws way to aggressive for D league, other individual players too aggressive
Foxes plan on dropping down in January, Goaldiggers will more up.
E LEAGUE
Bulldogs beat everyone, have won the last three seasons, but feel they aren’t ready to move.
Top team in the league will move up to D next fall, lowest team in D will move down.
Well balanced
F LEAGUE
Seems to be going well; teams will be re-rostered for the 2nd half of the season
Teams will be switched out after the Instructional classes tonight.
7:15- 7:25 Meet with D/E/F teams amongst yourselves, come up with people/team concerns
