New Business:

− Social Media • It was brought to Matthew’s attention there was a posting in a Thompson-centric Facebook group regarding the Midget AA playoffs. Cross Lake complained that the reffing was one-sided, they called the King Miners cheaters, said that they did not deserve the trophy, etc. There was a lot of swearing. Matthew has sent the post to Norman Hockey to deal with. • We need to be certain parents are aware of the social media policy.

− Transition season • Dennis would like to start the transition season right after the Jack Burden Memorial Novice Tournament, which is held March 14-16. • There are 3 hours open during spring break. • Dennis would like to use ice times already allocated to novice the week following the novice tournament.
