GB: There was no one from our group at the meeting because it wasn't going to be on the agenda. I requested Mr. Timm remove the item so there was nothing to discuss. I don't have the results. We had D10 process and handle all surveys and Mr. Timm only informed me that the count was almost the same a...

Not satisfied? Put one or two of us on the hockey committe. Why not? Why the threat? You also better get on the same page as the admin director. Who is on the hockey committee? Perhaps you could direct me to the minutes where I can find that. Appears from looking at your past meeting turnout from th...

Really, selfish agendas. How about answering the above post on the breakdown and votes of the past board. Go back up and read how evenly the board was split on voting positions and then explain to me what evidence you have. Give me some examples. I enjoy your subjective ramblings about how this boar...

Blue and Gold:

I agree. You are upfront about where you stand. While we have some disagreements, we also are in agreement on a number of issues. I also respect the fact you privately contacted me so that we could visit one on one instead of firing off from behind cover.

I should come to more of your meetings? Doesn't seem to me that many members who have kids attend, not even when I'm on the agenda. Why? Trust you that you put your time in? Why should I? Private message me and let me know what you do for SCYHA and don't bother saying you coach. What do you do above...

To the above poster: Didn't know about the camp. Would have been happy to help. Coached in the association not only when I had a kid in the program, but when I didn't. Was that for the kids? Served as a squirt coordinator when I didn't have a kid in the program. Was that for the kids? Agreed to serv...

I may or may not post under another ID, but if I do, it isn't under zippity and it isn't on this thread; so your source either isn't so reliable or he misunderstood. It wouldn't be the first time, though, that something reported on this board is a rumor, like the report that I offered the administra...

The above poster is correct regarding some of the administrative costs that were in place when I served on the board. It's true. However, I also believe it's true that those positions got increases this year, as someone pointed out above. In addition, it might not be a good time to look at the MAC e...

I just got finished reading the posts from today. There were interesting comments on a number of different issues. In response to Goose, no I didn't offer the adminstrative director a job, although he certainly has quite a lot of experience, and I did work with him for a few years while serving on t...

Oh by the way, Goose, you are quite the mindreader, being able to calculate everyone's motivations. Everyone else's are suspect, but yours and the leaders of SCYHA are only pure. You live in a world of absolutes -- oh if only everything in life were that clear -- black and white, good and bad, right...

I'd expect nothing less than what SCYHA has done so far, leading right up to the Minnesota Hockey meeting. In other words, I would expect them to fight against another association and do everything they have done. I'd do the same. Each group made their short presentation to the MN Hockey Board and t...

That should have read Hockey Committee at the top. I did agree to be on recruitment but we also would like representation on the hockey committee, which supposedly will look at any future split. By the way, there are two people on the recruitment committee -- three if you count me. I'm waiting for s...

Here's the response I got from SCYHA to have someone on the recruitment committee. Mike, We are looking for people to serve on the Recruitment committee who can address the girls program - not people for recruitment AND girls committee. The girls committee has been formed and is half way through the...

I'm not sure what to believe anymore, either. I was invited to SCYHA board meeting Wednesday in the spirit of cooperation and trying to work together. Instead, I got drilled like a piece of pine in 8th grade woodshop class. I volunteered to be on the association's recruitment committee and find seve...

I can tell you that while I served on the executive board for two years, there was internal dissent and the former president was over-ruled on a number of issues. One involved the 06/07 season and selection of teams at a certainl level. The two coaches pre-selected their teams (instead of having a d...

Blue and Gold: I got two calls today from people who I haven't talked to more than a year. Both said they don't go to meetings now because they don't feel their voice is being heard by the current board. Interestingly, one of the callers didn't like the leader of the group I served under; so I don't...

No issues with the current board outside our disagreement with this issue. I wasn't the one who suggested that the north/south issue took away from their other duties. They were. So I'm responding to it. Regarding the agenda, I guess I expected more people at last night's meeting so I did a little r...

The executive board is not new. Two of the members of the executive board were on it when I was on it. They are the ones who set the agenda. Many on the board have been on it for some time and I can name names. Good point. This hasn't been an issue during the past eight months. It was taken off the ...

Oh, i just have to chuckle at that one. This is too rich. I've admitted I've made some mistakes, sat in front of your board and attendees (by the way, where was the agenda published a week or two ago so that more people knew about the discussion last night)? Took all the questions and lectures and v...

Thanks for the clarification on getting back to Mr. Elliott. I did drive down there with Hommerding and Andrea Coulter and I called Rich Inderieden and Jon Peterson to ask them if they needed a ride. Hommerding wanted to go to listen in. Seemed sensless for all of us to drive separately. Is Hommerdi...

MetCenter is correct in his recollection of the way the meeting went. I did volunteer to be on the recruiting committee and sent an e mail to Laurie Kissner to volunteer me and another SCTYHA member to be on the hockey committee. We also will be submitting a name or two for the girls committee. One ...

George Blanda: I think that the kind of divide you mention should be looked at by the committee (hopefully blessed by SCYHA). I would think that having an Apollo/CHS split not only would keep the kids going to those two schools playing together, but would also equalize the numbers more -- possibly e...

To the above poster: I don't want to address you by your screen name -- seems a little harsh to choose that moniker. That being said, I think you should read all the above posts. We are asking SCYHA to appoint a committee to look at a split within the assocation. We asked this a year ago. Hopefully,...

Stealth: You're right on the back and forth on the one team vs. two issue and yes other associations have found it frustrating. Of the votes I cast for one or two teams, I would take back the vote for one A team in 06-07. I voted to follow the hockey committee recommendation and I shouldn't have. I ...

Let me set a few things straight on the one vs. two team history. I pushed for two A teams at Pee Wee the first year my kid was a Pee Wee. It didn't get anywhere but the planning stages for the next year (I wasn't on the board that year, just coaching). The next year it happened. Both Pee Wee teams ...
