Shirley moved the minutes from last fall. Kindersley seconded. Cd . Bruce informed all that he had touched base with Saskatoon and they will stay communicating and may have more discussion after the SHA meeting. Some issues to be dealt with are the communication when it comes to provincial play off time and the setting of dates. There is a possibility of interlocking play on a weekend as a tournament format. Communication within your centre is very important.

Bruce, finishing his 11^th year as President, reported that this was a very tough year due to unnecessary arguments between team personnel. There should be no condescending remarks made to other team’s players. Decisions are made so they are best for the league as we are here for the kids and the game is to be decided on the ice. We will not accept unacceptable displays by coaches and team personnel. If there is blatant abuse you will be fined and suspended. Compliments go out to the Midgets as very few complaints from them and not a lot of penalty matters to deal with. Thank you to team managers and Robin Harper and Dale Willick. Congratulations to Humboldt Pee Wee and Bantams and Prince Albert Midgets on winning the league titles. Congratulations to Warman Bantams on winning Provincials and competing in Westerns.

Please read all memos you receive and send qualified people to the scheduling meeting. Bruce will suggest the deletion of goal judges at the fall meeting. Referees will not be neutral but will be appointed. You must learn to adapt to what the referee is calling. As to the age they need to be for Pee Wee, Bruce will look into it and get back to all at the fall meeting. Remember you are committed to the league and tournaments should not be scheduled during playoffs.

If someone wants to change the league scheduling or provincial play-off format or any proposed amendments to the constitution please submit to Bruce by August 18, 2008.

The SHA meeting will be held June 6, 7 in Regina.

The C.F.H.L. Annual Meeting will be September14, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at Shellbrook High School.
