Dramatic changes can be difficult especially after years working with a completely different model. The Board has adapted well. I believe there is a steady and positive progression throughout the Members. It gives me pleasure working as a team for the betterment of our participants and the game. Not only have we concentrated on governance, but we also continue to examine the rules and regulations that are necessary to provide and promote fun, safety and skill development. We must offer programs that respect those who play, coach, and officiate, as well as the many others involved both on and off the ice - our wonderful volunteers.
