Schwan Super Rink - Blaine 3 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In last year’s President Message I talked about a thorough review of our current youth hockey model in Minnesota and what activities the Board of Directors would be addressing during the 2008/2009 Season. As most of you are aware, Minnesota Hockey made a change to the previous Residency Rule replacing it with the new Participation Rule. The Participation Rule was designed to better accommodate players who want to have the opportunity to play with their school mates. This change was our first attempt at trying to recognize the needs/wants that our constituents expressed in the recent survey, specifically the desire of many to be able to play where they go to school rather than being forced to play where they live. As stated in the article posted on the Minnesota Hockey website, the rule that was passed resulted from months of discussion and negotiation among the District Directors. The current rule is almost certainly not the "last word" on this subject. The impact of this change is being studied closely, and the rule will be thoroughly reviewed after the 2009-2010 Season is complete. In addition it is important we monitor the registration process to ensure that voids or specific issues that were overlooked are identified and addressed. The review of Minnesota's youth hockey model doesn't stop with the Participation Rule. In the coming year, the Organizational Discernment Committee will be looking at our State Structure, District Configuration and Seasonal Structure, just to mention a few items that have been affected by the demographic changes in Minnesota. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the countless volunteers who share the passion for our great game of ice hockey. Without your passion and dedication there is no Minnesota Hockey. We are a leader in the United States and we need to keep striving for betterment of the individuals participating. Thank you for all your support. See you at the rink… Dennis Green President, Minnesota
