-More community attendance during the week -Novice – no ½ ice -Higher registration fees and less fundraising -Equal player time @ novice -Clearer coach expectations(philosphophy/expectation) create a coach committee for a neutral party for communication between parents , coaches, and executive -Fair play policy – what level is appropriate to “sit” atheletes -Charge for door admission -Continuous glass for better viewing -Outside evaluators for tryouts – mentioned 3 times -Higher fees for students to work canteen or a more limited menu more appropriate for volunteers -Able to voice opinions but feel we are not heard. Feel no consideration is give to concerns voiced -Too much hockey -Smaller canteen menu -More canteen exemptions for coaches or no shifts at all would be better as we do lots already coaching -Outdoor tournament
