New Business:

Gordie gave update on restructuring & the cost of travel with hockey. 

No Atom AAA, AA the highest.

There will be “C” Teams – League Champions. The Provincials at the Top levels only (AAA).

AA – B there will be a Day of Champions. It will be 1 day with 1 game North Conference is from here to Amherst.

Has been a hard time trying to get associations to host Provincials. This format there is no cost to the associations.
