HELD ON Wednesday, February 18, 2009 AT
GEMINI SPORTSPLEX
Present:
Milt Agate, Tara Bolton, Heather Muldoon, David Stokes, Adrian
Tamminga, Steve Luciani, Sheila Pelleboer
- GROUP D
All members present discussed
the issue of aggressive play at length. Feedback from two coaches who
could not make it but provided e-mail correspondence were also tabled
at the discussion. Solutions ranged from the cancellation of the remainder
of the season for this group to suspensions and fines for certain aggressive
players only. In the end it was decided that a letter would be drafted
by Heather and presented to every player on Friday night. The letter
would outline the concerns of the league for player safety and remind
all players of the spirit of this league. Adrian and Milt would be refereeing
this Friday and would speak to each team before their respective games.
Suspensions would be handed out if necessary to players whose play was
determined to be overly aggressive by the referees.
Coaches were to be reminded
that they had the support of the executive to sit or even suspend players
whose play was disrespectful, dangerous, and unacceptable based on the
ethos of play fair, play safe, and have fun.
