Call to Order: President John Whitlock calls meeting to order at 7:47. Minutes from the March 2008 meeting were not available.  Minutes will be available at a future Board of Directors meeting.

Presidents Report – There is no update on Kasabuski Arena.  SYH still needs to stay involved in the proposal process so that the kids interest is protected.  SYH hockey is looking to maintain the 13 hours of practice ice Monday through Friday from 4:50pm -8:20pm.  Congratulations to all the teams at their tournaments.  Bantams A’s won the gold medal at Lake Placid.  The Mite A’s lost in the finals at Waterville Valley.

Treasurers Report – The payments have gone well.  Most have been paid.  Finance Committee has done a great job in resolving balances and this will continue through the summer and fall.  Estimated tuition for the 2008-09 season is $1500 due to the rink potentially raising the rates.  All tuition should be paid in full by September.  The final tuition will be confirmed when the rink rate is set.

Our existing shirts are approximately 5 years old and will need to be replaced in the near future and we should budget accordingly.  The Mass Hockey by law concerning two treasurers next season should be started which will be a good beginning to a turnover of the existing duties.  SYH has paid for a credit card machine.

Ice Coordinator- Practice ice will be done a weekly basis due to playoffs and when teams finish their season.

PW/Squirt Director- We are still waiting for the Squirt and PeeWee evaluations from the coaches and the director will follow up this week.

Bantam Director- Director brought up question concerning a Midget team next season.  We will take registrations to hopefully have a team.  Congratulations to the Bantam A’s and the acknowledgement of our two Bantam players addressing then PeeWee B’s about preparing for the future.

Mite Director- Congratulations to the Mite A’s and B’s on a very successful Waterville Valley tournament.  Our Mite level performed well and continued to show that the level is developing well.

The X-Ice program was a great success. The players have showed great improvement from the beginning of the season.

Fundraising- A motion is made by Bill Cross to have the banquet at the Bostonville Grille and let the E-board decide how to organize.  Seconded by Bill Granara.  Motion was passed unanimously.

Equipment Manager-  All equipment including shirts with nameplates removed should be returned immediately.  Please call the director to set up a dropoff.

New Business-  A motion is made by Dave Aiken to add a $20 registration fee for tryouts to cover costs of ice and potential payment booklets.  Seconded by Bill Granara.  The motion was passed unanimously.

There was a discussion concerning alternates similar to what other teams have in the area.  The potential alternate would only play if a team was short, i.e. player was sick or could not play.  He would be limited to 8-10 games during the season.  He would be eligible for tournaments.  He would be eligible to practice with the team.  He would not be eligible for league playoffs.  Topic was tabled for next meeting.

Motion to Adjourn- Bill Granara makes motion to adjourn. Ron Ruzkowski seconds motion. Motion carries unanimously.  Meeting is adjourned at 9:42pm.
