Reports/Discussion Confirm that Y is allowing us to keep the second shed. Almost time to order new jerseys; maybe consider new logo.

Motions

Action Items

New jersey committee: Paul, Ian, Dave, Maggie Working on contracts Attended the July TVHL board meeting to listen in and be a part of the discussion regarding some of the changes being proposed regarding state tournaments. There were a number of organizations present or on conference call. The general consensus from all seems to be positive. No one seemed to think that this would be perfect right out of the gate. Keep in mind these changes would only effect peewee and bantam A. All other leagues would run similar to years past. I saw in the minutes John plans on attending the schedulers meeting, awesome. Us taking a more proactive role in this league can only benefit. I also brought up the mite league. Making the suggestion of running it as three cross ice games, instead of the two half ice. They seemed to want to keep the half ice,
