instead of 3 teams. Pee Wees, we could roster some players from
Squirts, possibly
move up two players, or leave as is. Jason wants the ACE package
ordered, training material for coaches.

Bantam coaches, Lonnie seconded the motion, motion carried.

Lonnie believes in smaller teams for more ice time. Jason says you can
see in the game play that they are tired. Terry can’t change game
schedules this late,
they are one A and one B team.

we doing about Kevin Becker’s request about moving his son up from
