  1. Equipment Inventory

It was mentioned that we need to do a complete inventory on all equipment for the league.  It was suggested that executive consider an equipment meeting in early August 2009 to assist Tim Wright catalogue the current inventory and decide what additional items should be ordered for the upcoming season. 

  1. Ice Contract

    Steve Luciani noted that the request for item time was sent to the Municipality of Strathroy Caradoc and SCYH plans to start the 2009/10 season the weekend after Thanksgiving and wrap up the season the weekend of March 26th/27th, 2010.  It was noted that there will likely be a two week break over Christmas holidays. 

  1. Cleaning of Equipment

    It was suggested that Executive consider professionally cleaning all SCYH equipment at least once per season.  Professionally cleaning the equipment will extend the useful life of the equipment.  In addition it was suggested that bottles of Febreeze be placed in the goalie equipment bags. 

  1. Pizza Party

    Executive agreed to continue with the end of the year pizza party for 2009/2010.  The upstairs of the arena will be booked for the last day of hockey for all teams to celebrate their year end. 

  1. Rockets

    Management of the Strathroy Rockets was approached to have their players join in some practices with SCYH players throughout the season.  Rockets management agreed to have their players participate and agreed to give tickets to their games out to SCYH players. 

    9. Referee Clinic

    It was agreed that SCYH would again host a referee clinic for approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours.  It was noted that extra skaters to play/practice would be required to assist with the clinic.  It was suggested that advertising for this clinic should be done early and possibly included in the registration newspaper ad.  Steve Luciani agreed to look into possible dates for this clinic. 

    10. Sponsorship

    Executive agreed to advertise for a Sponsorship Co-coordinator Volunteer to investigate the possibility of local businesses sponsoring jerseys.  It was noted that sponsorship of jerseys would have to be on a long term commitment as the jerseys are re-used from year to year. 

    11. Spirit Wear

    Executive felt that spirit wear was an excellent initiative during the 2008/09 season and agreed to continue on offering these items for the upcoming season.  It was suggested that items be offered as early as possible during the season. 

    Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. 

    Next Meeting: Thursday, August 20th at 7:30 p.m. at Crabby Joe’s.
