Season Operating Plan

 

 

v  Position of President will be changed to Director. Director will oversee day to day operations of league. Since Shawn has traditionally overseen the refs, his acceptance of position as Director was on the condition that he over sees all disciplinary issues and is responsible for issuing discipline. It was decided that his authority would be to issue fines or games suspension up to 20 games. For suspensions sought over 20 games, Executive approval would be required.  Vice President will Act in place of Director in the case where Director is away for an extended period of time, or in the case an immediate decision is required. Allowing one person to deal with discipline should allow more timely and consistent resolves to incidents.

v  Objectives  established  for the Director to achieve are as follows:

Ø  Find opportunities to reduce league expenses.

Ø  Make necessary changes that will attract more players/teams to participate in the league.

Ø  Organize the Executive to function more efficiently.

Ø  Effort will be made to achieve Objective #1 as it will assist in the development of the yearly budget. The budget has to attempt to reestablish the $5000.00 float. It is estimated that it will take two years to reestablish the float.  Objectives # 2 should be completed by the end of the season. Object #3 is targeted to be completed by the end of next season.

 

v  Account Update – Joel.

Ø  Joel was not present so no account update was given.

Ø  Shawn informed present that Bell, BP and Troyer were paid in full. D. Hall Flames had submitted half their fees and

v  League Waivers:

¨       Insurance provider to be CARHA ( Canadian Adult Recreation Hockey Association)

¨      Minor aged players’ waivers must be delivered to Joel prior to November 5th, 12pm.

Bell representatives were asked to get the message across to player in question that behavior must change or League will have to take necessary step to prevent future incidents.

Ø  Additional rules have been implemented t attempting to reduce rough play or infractions associated to aggressiveness.

                 - Reps are reminded to review League rules on website.

v  Penalty Accumulation: At the beginning of next year (2007-2008) a 30 day trial will occur. The trial would consist of the following rule: Once a team has accumulated six penalties in a game, the seventh penalty would result in that player who was assessed the seventh penalty being ejected from the game.  The same would continue with any additional player issued a penalty.

 

§  In the meantime, players who in the opinion the President and teams or referees are conducting themselves during game in a manner which does not reflect Spirit of Recreation Hockey, (I.e. accumulating numerous misconducts over the course of a season) will be sent a letter from the league advising the player advising that he/she is under notice which means the player would receive a severer penalty should the player face a disciplinary review at a future time.

 

v  Rule Clean Up Initiative: The following has been amended or changed:

 

Ø  Misconducts: Player who obtains a Game misconduct in the last 10 min of a game, or OT will receive another game misconduct. Rule presently read “Misconduct instead of “Game Misconduct”

 

Ø  Fighting Procedure: When a fight occurs, the ref shall, at his discretion, order the teams to enter the conflict for the purposes of removing/restraining their players. Any player/team who at that point participates in a/the fight will receive a Third Man in penalty. Any such incident will be reviewed and may result in a minimum $100.00 fine in addition to any other suspension issued.  When a team is ordered to break up a fight by the referee and the team refuses, the incident will be reviewed and the team will be subject to a minimum $100 fine in addition to any other disciplinary action.

 

Ø  Tournament Tie Breaking Procedure. Motion made by Blue Haayer, second by Steve Legge. Motion Passed

 

§  Tie breaking procedure will be:

¨      Goals for and against

¨      Penalty minutes.

 

§  In the case of a three way tie, entire round robin will be considered.

 

 

v  Spending Authority: Arrangements will be made to have Joe Duscharme added to the league’s account signing authority and Joel Chevalier removed

 

v  Year End Tournament

 

Ø  Format: Four Game Round Robin: 1 through 4 move on to semi finals

Ø  Prizes: Shawn to arrange to have MVP prizes order

 

v  Other Topics: Shawn presented the idea of the Rec teams obtaining sanction under BC Hockey in order to be able to play against the FNMHA Midgets in exhibitions games. Games would be non-contact and played under BCHA rules. If teams did not want to do this, then maybe players could sign up for such and team would be made from a combination of the different players/teams. The cost per player would be approximately $19.00. It was agreed that Shawn would discuss with FNMH and see if such would be considered. If agreed it would start next season.

16-17 year old players in the League: Discussion was held regarding having midget level players in the league.  There is concern regarding the potential for young players getting hurt during play.  This has been discussed in the past and there was no interest at that time.  At this time there is no interest in having the under 18 players in the league.

 

Playing for other teams- If there are 10 or less players, the team can pick up players.  As long as the guys are registered in the league, you can play for other teams.

Information Transfer/ League Planning

                  Weldon will not be President of the league next year.  Assistance with the start up of the league has not been available, and the workload is high at the beginning of the year. Data input for the stats is time consuming- and is done on line at the CARHA Site.  No assistance was provided by the head referee with the scheduling of the referees.  There is still player information missing from registrations after repeated requests for the information.

 

Statistics- Based on the above conversation regarding the amount of time that is required to compile individual player stats, the team reps agreed that only the team stats will be the only stats recorded this year.  No individual stats will be kept.  Kai Potter offered to compile the statistics for the league.

 

Refereeing

Blue Line Icing Call- agreed to continue with the call.

No change on the faceoff- more consistency needed in the calls for in the ref.

May need help with picking up games after Christmas- majority of the Bell games are not filled because most of the refs are from Bell.

 

No complaints from the Referees

 

Hand Shake at the end of the game- decision made to keep gloves on for the handshake.

 

 

Team Reports

 

No issues reported from the Teams

 

Meeting Ended: 8:35 pm.

 

Next meeting will be called by Weldon via e mail.
