Reports-
President- introduced Merle a new PeeWee B coach this year
- Herschel, Traci, Susan and Jason attended the District Meeting last night in Eveleth
- Locker Room Monitors- have to follow the guidelines according to Safe Sport, so we an association need to come up with a plan to get Locker Room monitors—no cell phones in the locker room either-- male over 18 can do safe sport and pass the background check—or we need to look at hiring- Tom brought up the kids to need know who the locker room monitor is before they even step on the ice-- discussion was had about putting in place rules and consequences for misbehaving in the locker room and become strict about these rule--
Right now it is ok to have the locker room monitor outside of the room
