4. NEW BUSINESS
a. Equal Ice (AAA & ATOM) - The coach of our Pee Wee AAA team has been reminded of our fair play policy. Brian has done some monitoring. Brian and John met with a parent who had a concern about the amount of ice time his son was receiving and had raised the issue. They were unable to resolve the conflict. The matter has been referred to Kevin Matheson of Hockey NS. In the meantime Brian will contact the parent and will advise him that he will have to abide by these set conditions: Drop child off. Do not go in dressing room. Address the coaching staffing in an appropriate manner.
b. Canteen Report & Financial - Carrie and Cathy advised us that there is one more high school hockey game and they have stocked up in advance of the upcoming tournaments. The canteen bank balance is $3,034.56. Brian advised the executive that he has many inquiries about the canteen from the general membership and is unable to give concrete answers. He requested cash flow tightening and a profit & loss balance on a monthly basis. It was identified that there is huge potential for leakage as the canteen is manned by volunteers most of the time. Lengthy discussion was deferred to another time. Carrie provided the association's cash flow statement for the period Feb 5-Mar 2. With projected expenses taken into account, we estimate a surplus of approximately $5,000.00.
c. Girls Support - Brian was informally asked for a donation to Female Hockey's Provincial Playoffs being held at Glooscap Arena. David made the motion that East Kings Minor Hockey support the Female Hockey Team by a donation of $1,000.00 maximum, for referees and trophies. The motion was seconded by Peter VOTE: YES 8, ABSTAIN: 3
APPROVED
d. Rep/equalization Fee - Some teams have advised Brian that our Rep Fees are not accurate since they did not use referees as projected, lost ice times due to Christmas and New Year's Eve or storm days.
Chris made the motion that: All Rep teams that didn't use "non billed" ice due to circumstances beyond their control should be reimbursed the unused portion. "Non billed" is the term used to identify ice paid for separately by a team. VOTE: YES 6, NO 0, ABSTAIN 5.
APPROVED
e. Extra Practice Ice Time for AA - John made the motion to recover his lost ice time by utilizing ice for 2 practices per week for the next 2 weeks. VOTE: YES 10 ABSTAIN 1
APPROVED
f. 50-50 End Date - Chris provided the executive with a Revenue and Expenses Statement for weeks 1-19. It shows a profit to EKMHA of $6,062.10. He also identified that ice time is finished for many teams and the pot has been dwindling. He made the motion: That East Kings Minor Hockey make March 9-Draw 20, 2003 the last draw. VOTE YES 1 NO 10
