OMHA/Shamrock Report –Luke

There was discussion regarding crossover games with the Alliance (which would not have any implications for PSMHA as it was BB and above). 

Form has been submitted requesting ice time allocations for Shamrock Scheduling.

‘Gender neutral’ training for team officials, will be mandatory this year

Other attachment for coaching credentials, what we need for each level 

LMLL Report – Bob

No June or July Meeting

Small committee looking into rules for tyke

Sent new rules to Pat and Cindy (ie cross ice, seeding, refs)

 

IP Program Report- Kevin

No meeting in June or July

 

Financial Report- Alex (attached)

Little activity this month, have Karen and I established as signors for the Libro account, need to close out RBC

So far decent use of e-transfers, still some cc – but reiterate no cash!  Suggested put this on the website – especially as there appear to be people who checked yes for rep, but only show 700 in their invoice – so they didn’t add it to their cart.  Alex to have Candice confirm.   

Motion to Accept Norm 2nd Todd - Carried

Coaching Report-Scott                      

Coaches have stepped up for most teams/age groups  

45 coach reviews completed last year.  All reviewed and all are good from those who applied to coach again this year. 

 

Equipment Report-Norm

Equipment room dehumidifier not working.  Have notified Central Elgin and no response yet.  We pay to rent that room, so we should get it fixed.  Suggested by Todd to get quotes to see if we can have it included in the capital budget for next year.  Paul Ronayne, Gas Tech, Hughes…

 

Lead-time on socks is 8 to 10 weeks. Consequently, I am seeking board approval to purchase team socks this week. 

Estimated cost:

Small:  $18.50

M:         $20.50

L:          $21.00

XL:       $21.75

 

Last year's order quantity was the following; 

30 - small

30 - medium

20 - large

50 - XL 

TOTAL  = $2,677 plus HST

 

Current sock inventory in PSMHA:

S:     2 pairs.  (21"-22")

M:    5 pairs  (25"-26")

Int:   9 pairs (27"-28")  older style.

L:     20 pairs  (27"-28")

XL:   20 pairs  (29"-30")

 

Worst Case Purchase Volume:

Enough for two or three teams per age division. That's 30 to 45 socks per age group, less our current PSMHA inventory.

45 small - Tykes 

40 small - Novice

40 small - Atom

40 medium - Peewee.

20 large  Bantam / Midget

55 XL    Bantam / Midget

 

TOTAL = $ 4,748.00 plus HAT

Will also need some pucks and potentially some training aids (stick handling), will not buy or provide water bottles.

Program Development-Rob

No Update – all set as per the plan.

 

Fundraising Report- Amy

Pepperettes are good to go and looking at Little Ceasers (similar to pepperettes, good return, not a huge administration burden, those who want to use can, those who don’t can opt out) Nov 1, Dec 1, Jan 1 are target dates, will hand out to coaches as soon as they are selected.  Teams and players have the choice to participate.

Keep waiting list to see how many we lose to rep elsewhere before deciding if we need another team.     

 

Midget – Motion for Rob 2nd by Norm 1 rep and 2 local teams, Max roster size 16, can take up to 45 skaters any others stay on wait list pending NRP tryouts as we don’t want to accept more and end up adding them to local teams that are already full.  Anticipate losing 1-3 players to NRP 

 

Juvenile – Too soon to tell, but need to remove the no late fee comment on the website.  Need to ensure they pay outstanding fees from last year before agreeing to allow them to play this year.  Roster size 20 min, by Oct 15 or no team.
