CCYHA Board Meeting

November 8, 2023

Flight Adventure Park

Attendance: Trista McConegly, Ashley Courier, Katie Moore, Eric Manning, Josh Manley

Trista – President 

Call the meeting the order 6:08pm

October 11th, 2023 – minutes approval-Unanimous pass.

Motion, Trista – to approve budget spending for Cyclone hat from Kathy’s Kreations as a Holiday gift for 10u travel, they had teams cancel games and it left extra room in their budget. Second, Ashley

Vote – unanimous pass. However, CCYHA BOD would recommend in future circumstances using the excess budget towards hockey development for the players.

Also noted that CCYHA will get a kick back in fundraising by purchasing the hats from Kathy’s Kreations.

Maris, Columbia’s head Official, sent an email to the President requesting an assignor fee. Basically, CCYHA pays Maris a little fee for assigning referees to all our games. This is not common practice, Charleston does not do it but Greenville does.

The current CCYHA board was unaware that fees were paid to Maris as an Assignor, last year 2022.

The board agreed to the fee he was paid last season but requested that it will not be paid until a proper invoice is sent from Maris to the president/treasurer emails.

In the future an invoice must be sent for record keeping.

No October Ice Bill sent from Flight yet.

Hockey Fights Cancer was successful and raised $803 in one day to the American Cancer Society.The players wrapped their sticks, there was a table with a cash box for folks to drop money. There were Helmet stickers, and signs you could write who you fight for and they were posted on the wall for the next 3 weeks.

Summer Skates- store open receive 25% kick back on full sales.

A 12u Travel parent put in as volunteer Treasurer and sent a letter of interest to the president. CCYHA has been advertising for the Treasurer position since June 2023 and finally a volunteer stepped up in November.

Motion Ashley– To approve Cindy Warnix as interim Treasurer. Second Josh. Vote -Unanimous pass.

Per by laws we will advertise letter of interest in the Spin for 2 weeks.

Neck Guard – House required neck guards from beginning as did 10u travel coach Scott White. CCYHA supports all coaches.

Neck Guard discussion surrounded around supply and demand issues as well as if CCYHA mandated who will police the wearing of the neck guards, as this is one more thing for volunteer coaches to worry about.

If our governing bodies mandated protective equipment, then that is end of discussion and everyone would just have to do it and referees would then have to police the wearing of them like they do mouth guards.

All Board members agree an educational campaign on importance of wearing Neck Guards needs to be created and sent to members, Josh Manley was nominated to come up with some information to share with members.

It was proposed that CCYHA should buy some neck guards and make them available to purchase.

The idea to customize the neck guard covers with Cyclone logo was brought up.

Motion , Josh – make neck guards mandatory in the CCYHA association for all players and to be worn the way the manufacturer indents. Effective immediately.  Second, no second motion. The motion failed to carry.

Motion – Ashley – Spend $500 on neck guards for members to purchase. Second Josh, unanimous motion passed.

• Sizes youth and junior.

Josh – Vice President Report

Discussed with members and spoke with coaches about complaints and suspensions. Everyone is aware of their code of conduct and what is expected of them on, off ice and in rinks.

Eric – Coaching Director Report

A few coaches are missing some coaching requirements. They have until December 31, 2023, to complete.

Ashley – Registrar Report

Discussion on paying more money for the older teams 14u and up occurred as they are required to have 3 and 4 referees which significantly eats into the budgets. Discussion about increasing the fees for 14u and up travel teams but no motion was made, the discussion was tabled until a later date.

All rosters are complete just waiting for final CEPs from a few coaches. If any coaches want to add a player they must send it to Ashley by December 31, 2023 or the player cannot be added.

Katie – Youth Coordinator Report 

Holiday party Dec. 8th right before youth hockey with Fusion.

THFF – was a success at least 15 participants showed up to try  hockey.

Team and individual pictures should be ready soon for House and 10/12 travel. 14u/16u travel will be later because they took pics later.

Gameday hoodie order should be coming in soon.

Flight has requested that the video viewing be limited as it is lengthy, and they do not want to keep showing it. Trista stated, flight said they will lock the upstairs during home games in hopes that this will cut down on the temptation of kids meandering, however, they also are requesting that parents watch their children and keep them in the rink unless they have a game card, need to use the restroom, or are sitting in lobby working on something. No games of tag or running through the lobby are supposed to be happening.

Treasurer: Budget is looking good, we have a little over $100,000 in the bank, however NO ice bills have gone out yet so that will impact that number significantly. All travel uniforms have been paid for and dispersed, there are some extras in the ER as well as socks. House Budget proposed by Bryan Moore is fiscally responsible. CCYHA has had to close house as the ice has roughly 60+ players on it for Tuesday practice. This is the first time in CCYHA history that this has happened. Katie Moore stated that the Retention rate is about 98 percent from last season.

Reimbursement on coaches’ certs has started but will not be complete until they have all Certs done. Rob stated since the association is moving towards everything being their own Team, we may need to reevaluate reimbursement of coaching certs to possibly come out of Team Budgets, since CCYHA does not charge a per player due, however, we may need to in order to continue to pay for coaching jackets, certs, etc or have those fees come out of the team budget.

Scholarships distributed $2,700 went out. How is scholarship advertised to the association? Make it more aware to association.

Sibling, goalie, and military discounts are 10% after first child pays full. No multi discount on one player meaning you can not do military and goalie discount for a player.

Referee fees Travel Games: $50 14u, $45 12u, $40 10u. Maris fees. House will need referees when they scrimmage other associations, but these can be volunteers, however all requests for referees MUST go through Maris.

Secretary -Laurie has resigned from secretary but wrote in that 30 people voted and many thought it was pointless to vote since there were NO opponents. Moving forward we may want to have people use their own phones to VOTE and check off those that have as they do in regular poll voting. Mrs. Burgoyne stated that in the Election process nothing is wrong with using your own device to vote if the voting occurs at a sanctioned and congregated time like a practice. So, the association is looking at doing this for the next election process. Mrs. Courier brought up that CCYHA needs its own association I-pad to use for elections and Game sheet (CHL Games). In the past, team managers have had to bring their personal devices to be used with game sheet to record games for CHL. We will need a sign out sheet for the I-pad and protective cover.

Brittany Feaster (Goalie Coach called in)- she shared a document with board and head coaches via email laying out a game plan for the 1 hour of practice for goalies 8u+/10u travel and 12/14 travel. Goalie Parents will be notified of practice dates and times. There are 2 committed shooters and Mrs. Feaster will be in touch with Head Coaches if she needs more. House Goalies, she will work on some instruction before they play a scrimmage. She needs markers for creases. Matt shared a point evaluation sheet for goalies. They will do an evaluation on each goalie at next practice and then again at the end of season. This will be a guide to see progress over next 22 weeks.

October Saves make a pledge to our 14u Bradley Williams as he is raising money for breast cancer. A flyer will go out through Gamebeast and Sports You where you can click a link and either make a flat donation or make a pledge per puck save through the Month of October! Thanks Bradley Williams, for giving back and good luck on all your saves throughout October!

Goalie needs goalie sticks, 24, 26, 28 and either regular or full right sticks. Also need bigger leg pads like 26. Mr. Robinson is donated a size 28 and a 31. 2- 24 goalie pads and 26 pads still waiting to receive from last year grant, we are told they will be in sometime in November. Need to do an equipment list of items needed. Goalie helmets.

Coaching Director- transitioning over to Eric Manning, sharing passwords, email, and coaching pictures. Things Duane was not able to complete- coaches lock code please share with coaches. Need to do the caster wheels for the big wood box. Foam barriers the blue have duct tape on them and need to be repaired. Wrestling mat tape way stronger than duct tape (suggestion provided by Bridget Remillard). May need to get another cart for new foam barriers coming. $500. Intermediate net needs new net.

Hooks have been given to Flight to hang. New foam barriers coming in about 6 weeks. Need more cones, do not get the soccer ones get the rubber cones. Coaching certs are going well, cep training takes a bit but does not need to be completed until December 31 st . We have NO code of conduct from coaches. But those have players in program sign the associations code of conduct. Make all coaches that do not have players in program sign one. May need a master list of coaches with emails and phone #”s.

Youth Coordinator – working on bulletin boards, getting contact information up for coaches like pictures, putting hockey socials up. THFF November 5 th and February 25 th . 11:15 am. Association photo discussion who, what, and when? We used Billy with Midlands Photography last year, you had to buy a package. Katie has a woman named Helen who is with Calico photography. She can take photos and then upload to families so they can print what they want. Helen does not have a green screen so they would just be done on the ice. Katie is comparing prices and offers will report back in October and try to get dates set for photo shoots with association. Request to have a photo of all travel and all house or all association on the ice.

House is going well; the ice is packed but Chris and Bryan have been working well together designing practice plans. There has been positive feedback in comparison to last year! House Crew is Working on getting scrimmages lined up with other associations however other associations do not start house until October. So, scrimmaging other associations will probably NOT start until November.

Registrar- 100% of player membership has been claimed, parents need to keep sending USA hockey volunteer #’s to Registrar and complete Safe Sport Certification if they want to be in locker rooms. Coaching Director needs to send USA Hockey #’s of any new coaches to Registrar to be claimed.

Need to do an equipment list of items needed that can be purchased with Grant money approved by CAHA some items we know we need, Goalie helmet, regular helmet, goalie sticks, larger gloves, larger shin pads, blue pucks, more foam dividers, and another cart to store foam pads.

Almost all Equipment Renewals have been paid still have about 10 parents that need to pay.

Working on making a list for goalie equipment sign out as those can NOT be rented out this year.

President: bylaws have been updated an approved so will be posted to website within month and new print out of bylaws for each board positions binder. Positions available that require election: Secretary, Registrar, and Vice President. We also need an Equipment Manager.

Next Hockey Social will be at Terror Falls Farm, you get 4 haunts for one price $15 looking at dates either October 7 th , October 22 nd , or October 28 th or 29 th !

Cyclone Merchandise – Craig with Kathy’s Kreations said he will have the weblink up for ordering by Monday September 26 th .

Miscellaneous

The board has a disinclination to spend money on advertising on the boards or ice at FAP because of the current ice situation and the fact that we do not feel valued. Recommendation was to ask them to donate the space to the youth hockey program, FAP should support the youth hockey program here.

We will make changes remotely and hold discussion remotely and then get together as a Board for a final vote. Registrar believes we do not have to have a final vote as we already approved in the April meeting to change the bylaws. Once the approval to change occurs we don’t need to revote on the changes it is more about do you agree or disagree with the changes. No formal vote is needed on the changes being made as we already voted to change by laws.

Will set date for Travel Acceptance party once warmup samples arrive

Youth Hockey Coordinator

THFF was a success with 30 on ice participants. All are in USA hockey, families contacted regarding LTS and LTP next steps. We already have 2 signups. We have had 6 people sign up for either LTS or Bridge

Learn to Play will start in September. There is still some concern regarding ice time. Will look into running LTP on ⅓ ice on Monday if space is an issue on Saturdays. It must be held every week.

Coaching Director

Chris Mehltretter was moved from 12U second team coach to Head House Coach for all House players 6-14U excluding 8U+. Alyssa Mehltretter will be the House Team Manager.

Registrar to ask Katie Moore and Alyssa Mehltretter to work on the coach’s wall updating pictures, around the bulletin boards.

No Coach Certifications were delivered this month. Coaches were notified once and Coaching Director will do a monthly reminder.

Safesport training will be encouraged for all members in the 2022-23 season. This is required for Volunteers and for entry into locker rooms. It would also get us more votes in CAHA. Registrar to blast out the information to members. Also bring QR code to any gathering in an attempt to get everyone signed up.

Coaching Director would like to talk to Coach Novotny about taking the lead and responsibility on Summer Camps. Need to buy ice and determine if these are Saturday day camps or weeknight camps. These camps would be an additional fee for members to cover costs. Non Members of CCYHA would potentially be charged extra . Secretary to talk to 14U coaches regarding checking clinic.

Ice practices are scheduled and most team requests are accommodated. Times will be similar to last year. Game scheduling will be tough with competing organizations. Treasurer and Registrar were able to get some games scheduled with dummy opponents. We are very limited since we are sharing ice time with Infantry, Figure Skating, Fusion, and USC. There is no guarantee we will be able to get additional home game times. Travel teams are going to have to schedule CHL games first, then friendlies. May have to make up for games with tournaments. Coaching Director to update coaches on the situation and the plan moving forward.

Miscellaneous

2022-23 Tryouts were reviewed for what went well/what needs improvement. Registrar complemented the coaches on the quick turnaround. All agreed the process was much smoother this year as far as timely notification and ease of registering on GameBeast. We discussed the typo on the 14U offer email sent through GameBeast, One recommendation from the Vice President was to hold more tryout times to effectively evaluate bubble players. Also to evaluate goalies. Coaching Director recommended filling roster at 10U level – 16-17 skaters in order to develop kids for the health of CCYHA. This is what Coach White did this year. We also talked about whether we should reward loyalty and how.

The Youth Hockey Coordinator unofficially tendered her resignation citing her many responsibilities both professionally and personally. The official letter will be forthcoming within the week. All members of the BOD thanked her for her years of service and the many great things she accomplished.

President made a second motion to vote to charge $25 for each LTP session. Treasurer seconded. Vote failed (how many?).

CCYHA BOD Emergency Meeting Minutes November 23

rd 2021 5:00 PM

Present: President Kirby Brownfield, Vice President Matt Robinson, Treasurer Rob Cunningham, Secretary Laurie Gammons and Registrar Trista McConegly At 5:00 pm on Tuesday November 23, 2021 the President made a motion to use the GroupMe platform to discuss and vote on two upcoming motions. The motion was seconded by the Secretary.

Discussion ensued regarding a 10U Cyclones travel player requesting to play aa Thanksgiving weekend tournament with the Carolina Rage Hockey Club. The parent of the player stated that they were directly requested by a parent associated with the Rage. Approaching a player from another organization is a clear tampering violation.

At 5:15 the President made a motion to escalate the tampering issue to CAHA for review. If the motion passes there is a $250 fee to the Director of Disciplinary Actions that is refunded if the review is not unfounded. Action taken by CAHA could include fines, inability to play in CAHA tournaments or removal from the league depending upon severity. Motion was seconded by Secretary. Motion passed unanimously. President then made a motion to vote on the temporary release of the 10U player to the Carolina Rage for one tournament over Thanksgiving Weekend. Registrar seconded. Motion failed 2-4. 10U player will not be released to play for the Rage over Thanksgiving weekend.

President to alert the Carolina Rage board and the 10U parent.

CCYHA will post the process on the website and create a form for future transfer requests such that they can be done without violating USA Hockey rules.

Meeting was adjourned at 5:50PM on November 23, 2021.

b) Coaching Director inspected the foam barriers and indicated that they have long term repairs using duct tape. Also looking into a storage and transport device to abide by a rink manager request to stack them neatly and to reduce wear and tear from setup/teardown. Will look into getting a grant to purchase foam dividers and a way to store them. In the meantime we will fix what we have with Duct Tape. Ryan indicated that the foam has been on-site for around 15 years. He also indicated that the hard dividers were a grant purchase with 50% funding from CAHA, 25% from rink management, and 25% from CCYHA.

1802 call to order. Treasurer, YHC, Pres, CD present

Added Ryan Petz to meeting via phone to discuss ice scheduling history and process. Ryan did not understand why we are having issues scheduling weekend games. He asked us to talk to Chris again and we pushed back stating how recently we were denied. Ryan agreed to talk to Chris on our behalf. CCYHA is considering scheduling fewer home games and more tournaments since ice scheduling is a large challenge.

Registrar update – Rob

Liam Lingenfelter needs birth certificate and statement of good standing from prior team

Rob will provide FAP staff with roster of entire association to check FAP waivers.

Treasurer update – Rob

New budget format was explained and line items were explained in depth. Finances are good. Lengthy discussion on how costs are allocated between house/travel programs. Currently there is a lot of confusion on why travel budgets have significant margin and house has a significant shortfall.

Discussion about Saturdays where multiple travel teams are home without games. The biggest challenge is finding ice on Saturday when everyone is home. Agreed on buying as much ice on 9/18 as rink will allow. Managers will get an accurate count to determine how many kids will be attending. If we can’t buy ice, playing time will be low but will be a learning situation. Rink authorized 1 additional hour during the meeting. Crisis averted but there are many dates in the future that we need to address. YHC has the dates and will work with Ice Schedule to purchase ice.

Secretary candidates have been notified about the election results. Chris Powell was not able to attend the board meeting on short notice.

Treasurer

Budget update

Projections had been removed from the budget spreadsheet. It was requested to restore that for planning purposes

The history of the scholarship program was discussed. VP requested permission to approach FFF to get scholarship as a blank check to the CCYHA versus money direct to the applicants. This is better for FFF as this would be a contribution to a 501c3 entity and better for the CCYHA to have control of the awards.

Tryouts were charged for 2 ice cuts. Just FYI

Week 8 of bear league did not have an ice cut and the treasurer will make sure it is not included in the final bill.

Registrar

Travel roster status is good for all 3 teams. There are 3 players/coaches needing a new USAH number and only 1 birth certificate still needed.

There was discussion that if girls didn’t make the 12U team, could they play on the 10U team. We found out the answer was “no”.

A discussion was held about players committed to other teams (especially competing organizations) participating in non-travel events. The board was mostly comfortable with this and no action will be taken.

Youth Hockey Coordinator

It was suggested to get a table of like 4 laptops for the first house event so that we could literally walk parents through the registration process instead of asking them to handle it themselves. Some house registrations have been successfully entered. The board recommended the YHC push the house and LTP registration links via ALL current communication platforms.

The Webmaster position description was read and discussed. A number of issues with the current website need to be addressed.

It was suggested to prioritize the updates so that the Webmaster is not overloaded.

Rob volunteered to work with head coaches and team managers to enter game and schedule data, to allow the webmaster to work on the website

Pages that are less important or significantly out of date should be turned off until core pages are updated

A new position was suggested by the VP, content manager. This person would be a single point to control all of the media communications (gamebeast, website, facebook, the spin, etc.) under direction of the board of directors as a whole. This person would review media suggestions and uploads and control the content. Questionable content would be provided to the board for a decision on posting or not.

A motion was made to create the content position separate from the webmaster. CD – 1st, YHC 2nd

A motion was made to assign Johnny McConnegly as the Webmaster. CD – 1st, YHC 2nd

A vote was made to assign Wesley Grose as the Ice Scheduler. 5/5 votes in favor.

Discussion about the lack of pucks identified a recommendation to change the locks on the equipment box. CD will purchase new locks and provide new codes to the head coaches. Pucks will be purchased and distributed directly to head coaches for travel practices and will be returned at the end of the season.

A motion was made to purchase coaching equipment discussed via email (colored line jerseys, white boards, pucks, and a bag). Pres 1st, Registrar 2nd

A vote was held on this motion. 5/5 votes in favor.

A motion to adopt this schedule was made. Pres 1st, Registrar 2nd

A vote to adopt the motion was passed, 5/5 in favor.

CD took an action to determine weekday goalie coach schedule.

A motion to discuss the weekend schedule was made. Pres 1st, Treasurer 2nd

The schedule proposed is as follows: Saturday 9:40-10:40 LTP, 8U scrimmage

Saturday 10:40-11:40 10/12/14U house scrimmage

A motion was made for the following: Saturday 1040-1140 will be a challenge if all 3 travel teams are home on a given Saturday.

We will continue to allow travel teams to participate in the house scrimmage unless it will reduce the ice time of the house participants significantly.

Attendance will be managed based on travel schedule.

If no travel teams are home, the number of participants available may prompt cancellation of the ice purchase.

A vote on this motion was passed, 5/5 in favor

Discussion on the draft 8U parent communication. The communication was read aloud.

President
At the prior meeting, a proposed code of conduct was read. It needs to be sent out to the board again for final review and vote. KB motioned to review final code of conduct and vote via groupme. TK seconded the motion.
Treasurer
The current bank account balance should support coach certifications. That said, the 12U coach is looking for tournaments.
We discussed refunds for 10U due to covid cancellations. All preferred to find hockey by end of March or send remaining funds to CCYHA general fund to cover future expenses for the benefit of the organization.
The ice rink locker room fees were all paid for 2020, but took 7 months to collect. This supports our scholarship program. The total in 2020 was $2864.
Flight is considering managing locker room fees to send CCYHA scholarship money. Also interested in covering house coach certifications with CCYHA covering travel coaches.
Taxes – filed through 2020. 2018 fed fine dropped. 2019 pending. 2018/19 pending at the state level as they only look after federal is solved. All have been requested for reduction. Maximum fine of $6000 remaining. It was recommended to keep this accountant on retainer for future years. According to the accountant, the 2018 issue started because they were not involved in that filing. Duane and Kirby filed 2019 based on 2018 which was in error.
TK suggested that after a certain date in future years (3/31 for example) that all money from team budget goes back to CCYHA that can be requested for specific purposed.
Kirby will ensure that 12U team party and finances include 12U dev and standard team party budget covers food, drink, etc. 10U will stay within budget or make a specific request to Treasurer and/or President for anything beyond.
Registrar
84 players are claimed in USA hockey rosters plus 13 adults (travel coaches, team managers). Coaching director will send Katie list of all coaches with USA hockey registrations to increase that number.
There was a lengthy discussion on registration issues with USA hockey and learn to play. Shayna to check and see if CCYHA can collect fees for all future registrations and CCYHA send funds and names for rink employees to check names. Shayna agreed to test this with power skating this spring.
YHC
Spring league can go up in numbers based on relaxed COVID restrictions (>50 on ice).
Bear league is alraedy popular with many asking about schedule for 2021. In 2020 the rink took the risk on the ice. There was discussion on CCYHA purchasing ice for bear league and considering a “cub” league for younger kids.
We should expect and increase in ice costs to $300/hour after May.
Discussed numbers, cost, jerseys, etc. to run this league. 6 weeks in June/July, 1 hour per week. June 8th. Proposed $150 for the league.
Power skate starts 4/12, right after spring break.
Coaching Director
Gamebeast – no presentation tonight based on time. This is a competitor to SportsEngine which has had issues this season with the phone app, notifications, scheduling, and RSVPs.
Head coach applications will be due 4/30. KB motioned, DT seconded. DT to communicate to coaches. The purpose of this is to have the board approve coaches prior to tryouts which are expected in early June.
KB motioned to set travel deposits after tryouts a $400, due 14 days after tryouts.
Shayna suggested that for rising 10U players that the CCYHA prep the parents for the tryout process and travel hockey as it is different than other sports.
TK recommended that all players that make the team are required to pay the tryout fee regardless of if they show up to tryouts. KB motioned that all players that attend or that make the team but did not attend, pay the same tryout fee. TK seconded.
YHC and Shayna to determine final date. 1 hour per team, 3 hours to purchase.
Spring Leagues has 4 coaches registered, 3 of which are certified. Coaching Director has the action to recruit.
Vice President
disciplinary committee follow-up. For this issue, it was by the book. We reported to incident to police (RCSD) immediately. It is expected that the accused will be charged as the investigator considers the complaint substantiated. The accused once denied but then admitted the accusation to police. It is expected to result in counseling and will be determined by a judge. USCSS (safesport) needs to be notified. CCYHA will not take any action at this point and the player remains suspended from all CCYHA activites. Flight is following CCYHA and continuing to suspend from the facility.
CCYHA will look at adding locker room monitors as volunteers to help prevent this in the future. We need to work on this before the next season starts.
CAHA grants- DT to finish grow the game grant. KB/RC to finalize advertising and THFF grant submissions.
TK will resign if we find a good replacement before he leaves or will stay until leaving the area. We recommended resigning in April meeting for adequate turnover. There are two current applicants that will need to be considered by the membership.
Player award patches. RC motioned to limit placement of patches to right sleeve below numbers. DT seconded. Players may also put these awards on their warmups. KM has the action to file with USA Hockey for award patches. These awards are for players achieving a hat trick, playmaker, or shutout at any point in the season.
Laundry list
Development program discussion. When the dev program was initiated we didn’t have the problem of >25 kids on the ice for travel practice. There has been much discussion and ideas about how to support the development program without hindering the travel program. All board members need to think and strategize on their own, then present ideas at April meeting.
There is the potential to take over house program from flight. Flight might be willing to incentivize takeover of house program to reduce their liability and keep all youth hockey with the CCYHA. There was a discussion about adding an 8U team to the CCYHA and the impact on jamborees, player fees, and practice schedule. Having all youth hockey managed by CCYHA has pros and cons to be discussed further. First the finances must be established where CCYHA can purchase approximately 10 hours of ice per week during the season.
KB motion to close meeting at 2112, TK seconded.
A motion was made by KB on GroupMe 3/19/2021 to allow GroupMe to be a forum for a vote for a price per team of year end gifts/Party. Seconded by KM

Duane submitted this issue to the chair of diversity and inclusion at USA Hockey. Discussion of the 14U roster and new additions resulted in an agreement that some redundancy to the process of recruiting and rostering players needs to be added.

Communication from head coaches and team managers should include both the registrar and treasurer.

Coaching clinic to be classroom style, focus on the game for our coaches that haven’t played (parents). Kirby wants to push this. Kirby will contact Ryan about pushing this. Tommy wants to include disciplinary committee and will talk to Ryan if we have a meeting. This could be a time for CD to piggyback stuff for coaches. Duane talked to Ryan on Friday (12/11/20) and took the action to determine a date. 1/3/20 was proposed. Ryan will attempt to secure some ice so there is off and on-ice activities.

Non-parent coaches requested certification reimbursement. There is enough money in budget to cover, and at this rate we expect to cover all coach fees this season. Two coaches were granted reimbursement without needing a vote.

Schedule during holiday house break was discussed. Head coaches have complete authority for December practice ice and the funds come out of team budget. Duane and Lou to discuss half ice for these practices. Both coaches agreed to practice on off weeks (12/16/20 and 12/30/20).

Determine the communication strategy to parents about potential changes to the development and travel programs.

NC mask mandates. CHL supports swapping games to play where ice is available and in SC where there are no mask mandates. Board should push team managers to schedule ice at Plex.

We will negotiate with the Fit, Flight n Fun management to allow for bake sale/cook out type events in the future.

-The president discussed developing play up policies and protocol in the interest of player development, organizational best interests, team best interests, and family interests.

This situation occurs only at the 10U playing up at 12U level.

Emphasis was put on providing clarity to all parents involved, communication between coaches, and a decision based upon the priority of CHL games of the rostered team, Tournament games of the rostered team, Exhibition games of the team at the play up level, and then exhibition games of the rostered team.

CAPITAL CITY YOUTH HOCKEY Special BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES
CCYHA Board Meeting Minutes 8/31/2019
Meeting called to order at 0845. Attendees include Kirby Brownfield, Duane Twining, Kim Storfer, Joe Shea, Jason Hughes.
The first order of business is to discuss the recent announcement that the U18 team is being released. Kirby provided the background. The first practice was held and 3 or 4 players decided to abandon their contract and join another team. Without these players, there are not enough left to field a team. The decision to release the remaining players from their contracts was communicated to the parents earlier in the week. Obviously the parents were upset at this decision. There were requests for refunds, and to go after the players who abandoned them.
Refunds of 100% of the team registration fee, including deposits were sent to the parents in good standing. Some have asked for reimbursement of funds spent on jerseys and clothing with team logos. The CCYHA required each player to purchase a jersey and socks. The team manager advised parents to purchase other clothing that is not fully understood by the board. The following items were discussed in detail:
• Refunding parents for jerseys and socks.
• Refunding parents for other clothing.
• Waiving all non-refundable amounts per the player contract and also waiving transaction fees.
• Requiring jerseys and socks to be collected by the CCHYA prior to a refund.
• Reuse of jerseys and efforts needed to remove or replace customization.
• Using funds in excess of the U18 team fees paid to the CCYHA to fully refund jerseys and socks.
• Responsibility of other team clothing and whether the CCYHA should provide any refunds.
After discussion a motion Duane motioned that the board vote to use any funds obtained from the families not in good standing to reimburse families in good standing for jerseys and socks. Kim seconded; Jason and Joe voted in favor.
Duane motioned that the jerseys and socks be refunded up to the point at which all money collected by the CCYHA was used for refunds. Refunds would be disbursed after jerseys and socks were received by the CCYHA for use in future seasons, noting that some effort would be needed for customization. Kim seconded, Jason and Joe approved. Kim suggested that a shipping tracking number be recommended to parents such that they understood that they were responsible until jerseys and socks were received by the CCYHA. All agreed.
Kim motioned that the CCYHA offer a full refund for jerseys and socks, using CCYHA funds to cover the amount in excess. Duane seconded. Jason and Joe approved.
Duane motioned that no additional refunds be provided for clothing purchased in excess of CCYHA requirements. Kim seconded, Jason and Joe approved.
Kirby took the action to communicate the board decisions to the U18 parents after providing all board members opportunity to review the communication language.
The next order of business was the resignation of Joe Shea as Youth Hockey Coordinator. Joe is moving and will not be able to support the board in that capacity. The board accepted his resignation effective immediately. Joe agreed to turn over the email account password.
Jason made a final request to purchase on and off-ice equipment for coaching. Since the budget has been passed, he did not need a vote, but wanted the board to review his proposed purchase. Duane took an action to review and update the budget with actual numbers. All members took an action to review the equipment request before the end of the labor day weekend.
Duane took an action to setup the elections for all the interim board members and other applicants.
Kirby sent the board the current financial status of the association and provided a brief summary.
