Redistricting in the Metro back on the ballot. Highly likely that Dist 8 redistricts in 2007-2008. Should we host a Dist 8 hockey tournament?

Concern do we need a committee or add a team to accommodate a girl that doesn’t make the varsity team and isn’t U14 eligible. Recommendation is that this goes to a committee for debate and recommendation to the board.
- Total Hockey Contract – Rick Singerhouse. Needs clarification from Dean to understand what players can do on dry land. Eight year lease. $45,000/year after 3 years lease cost goes up by CPI in Metro Area. HHA pays $75 per player non varsity.
