Offered to Gilmarten (Valley League) for make up games

3. Coach’s interview / nominating committee for Dec / Jan – Only application received to date is from Fred Massaro

Jack Losco from Imagewear presented an apparel program to the Board. The selection of items includes adult and youth fitted caps, adult and youth heavyweight hooded pullovers, adult and youth nylon hooded jackets, adult and youth three season jackets, adult panda fleece pullover, panda fleece blanket, and small towels. Each item will have the WYSA logo. Imagewear will be taking order the week of November 26 from 6-7 at each of the practices. He will also be at the December 2^nd clinic. The association will cover the cost of the American flag embroidery.

An issue was brought to the attention of the Board, regarding the solicitation of funds by an Association member. Per by-law Article VII Section E "No solicitation or contributions of funds to individuals or teams shall be accepted without the approval of the Board of Directors." The by-law was put in place so that funds contributed to the association would be distributed evenly. The direct solicitation for a team or individual eliminates those businesses from being potential Association sponsor. Apparently, an individual solicited contribution from two local organizations to sponsors his son’s team tournament. The checks were not made out to WYSA. The act was a direct violation of the by-law. However, Bob Gorton did authorize the individual to obtain the funds. Fred Massaro motioned to ratify the approval of Bob Gorton that gave the individual the permission to obtain funds from Brownson Insurance and Independent Concrete for the purpose of a tournament scheduled for Dec 28-30. Vote: 5 yes, 0 No, 3 Abstain

VI) Old Business (prior meeting issues, policies)

1.) Skills Clinics Status – sign-up results for the Thursdays / Saturdays / Sundays
(Based on Post meeting October 4^th sign-ups at Picture Night)

The Board will try to make the clinics work for several weeks and review as many options as possible to keep the membership involved. Walk-ons, however, are not going to be allowed. If a parent drops off a players at one of the sessions and doesn’t give them the money or forgets to bring it to a session the Board doesn’t want to send a child home or chase after parents for the skills clinic money. At the November 12^th meeting decisions will be made on combining hours, adding the goalie clinic to one of the hours, selling the ice to teams, or selling the ice to other associations.

2. Goalie Clinic – There is no Tuesday ice available to Wakefield this year. Last year Winchester, through Steve Evangelista, "traded" their Tuesday 6:00 PM ice at Flynn for use of Wakefield’s goalie clinic. This year Winchester decided to keep the ice. According to Steve Evangelista, Mike Geragosian is not available any other night other than Thursday. There is a discussion of having an Edge goalie clinic for every other Thursday if sign-ups remain low or use part of one of the Saturday AM sheets. Bob Gorton and Brian Donahoe will speak to the parents of several goaltenders to gauge the interest for a Saturday AM goalie clinic
3. Preliminary 02-03 Plan, including tryouts, potential by-law changes, attendance policy, absence due to Illness, Freezing Team Rosters, Drop down of skaters and/or goalies, last two picks by head coach at Squirt – Midget level. Board was requested to come to the table with ideas at the Nov 12^th meeting regarding the plan for next season.
4. Lynnfield Ice - Ice available: Hockeytown: $190/hour @ 4:10 PM (60 minute sheet), Thursdays: 10/18, 10/25, 11/1, 11/8, East Boston MDC $130/hr@9:00 AM & 10:00 AM (50 minute sheet), Saturday: 10/20 This is pay per use ice. WYSA will not purchase the ice. Anyone who wants ice must get a check for the amount to Brian Carney and he will pay Lynnfield. Post meeting info: Brian Donahoe sent an email to: Bob Gorton, Gail Severt, Mike McCarthy, Janet Filoramo, Frank Longo, Ellis Larry, Fred Massaro, Mike Surette, Frank Micelli, Frank White, Jim Pickens, and Steve Evangelista announcing the availability of the ice. There were no takers.
5. Kirk Committee –Bill McKay volunteered. Motion made to accept Bill MacKay as the Kirk Committee Chairperson. Motion seconded. Discussion: The award is for the player that shows the most improvement over his high school year and has gone through the Wakefield Youth Skating program. Bill will need to provide the names of the other members of the committee by the 11/12/01 Board meeting. Vote: Unanimous approval

VII.) New Business

1. Bantam B team – The coaches of the Bantam B team will not play any more games in the Valley League until they are moved. They believe it is an issue of safety. The team has had 10 losses while in that division. The team started in the White South (high A level). Gilmartin was called and they were moved to the Blue North (high B level). This level is still above the original requested level of Blue South. Bill McKay believes that the Bantam B coaches should pay for the cost of the games not played if Frank Longo cannot obtain restitution from the Valley League. Bill does not this there is a safety issue. Rocco Scippa disagrees and believes that there is a safety issue and that the team should not play. The Board will wait to see what information Frank Longo can obtain from the Valley League.
   
2. Request by Mike Souza to use our mailing list to start his hockey camp. Motion was made to have Mike provide WYSA with the information to be distributed or to sign an agreement that he will not release, share, or sell our mailing list. Motion seconded. Discussion: The Board does not feel comfortable releasing our membership list to Mr. Souza. Instead, the Association would be happy to advertise the camp within its membership via word of mouth or passing out rosters. The Association would also like 5 scholarships to the camp. Vote: Unanimous approval. Frank Micelli to contact Mike and move forward.
   
3. Sunday Learn to Skate Clinic sign up dates: Sign up dates will be October 29, November 5, and November 12 at the Americal Civic center from 6:00-8:00 PM. Cost will be $175 which includes $25 for Mass/USA hockey registration fees and required rosters. Brochures for the clinic will be sent to all the elementary schools and kindergartens in Wakefield. There will be a need for 6-8 on ice helpers to work with the beginners.
   
4. Banquet plans – form committee to develop cost & timing. The Association will advertise for a 5-person committee. The committee will determine the place and cost. The Board is unanimous that the attire must be shirt and tie for boys, dress / slacks for girls and that parents must sit with the players.
   
5. Re-plan of Friday night rotating ice – Due to confusion created by Hockeytown on the practice ice contracts the rotational ice must be rescheduled. The Mite B and Squirt B-White teams will not be getting the 70 minute practice sheets as originally planned and must be added back to into the rotation. New schedule will be published and posted at Hockeytown and on the WEB site. The schedule will not change until November 9. On Nov 9^th the Squirt B –White team will get the ice. On Nov 16^th the Mite B will have the ice. The rotation will be set from the 23^rd on: Bantam A & B. Peewee A, Peewee B, Squirt A, Squirt B Red, Squirt B White, Mite A, Mite B, Mite C, VB 1, VB2.

VI) Old Business (prior meeting issues, policies)

1. Overview of the coach’s meeting held on August 23, 2001: Good showing of coaches. Rules were reviewed to insure all of the coaching staff is "on the same page".
   
2. Vote on Mite Players (Dalton, Weaver and White): Ed Audet made a comment to Frank Micelli (out of session) that having Weaver and White play in the Mite B game caused too much confusion. In the future, he would like to see the evaluation be held at the practices. Fred M. rebutted that in the case of White, game play review was necessary since he never played in Wakefield. In executive session a motion to move Weaver and White to the Mite A team was made. Motion seconded, Discussions: None. Vote: 6 Yes, 2 Abstain. Ryan Dalton did not show for the Mite C practice as dictated by the Board in the Executive Session meeting held on July 30, 2001. However, he did show up for the Mite B practice. Dalton was told to go home, since he had missed the "C" practice. Mr. Dalton alleges that a conversation with Bob Casaletto allowed him to miss the "C" practice. Bob Casaletto claims that he said he could be late but could not miss the practice entirely. Due to the confusion, the Board in executive session, discussed the alternatives to the Dalton situation. The end result was a motion to allow Ryan Dalton to skip the Mite C practice and attend the Mite B practice for evaluation. The motion was seconded. Discussion: None Vote: 5 Yes, 1 No, 2 Abstain
   
3. Vote on Mite A Coaches: In executive session, the Board discussed the Mike McCarthy’s assistant coach Selection : Frank White, Mark Colangelo and Brian Donahoe. A motion to accept the Mite A assist coaches. Motion seconded. Discussions: None: 5 Yes, 1 No, 2 Abstain

Motion to place Jon Magnuson as an alternate on the Bantam B team. Jon will be called to play if the Bantam B team has 14 or less players. Motion seconded. Discussions: None. Vote Yes (Unanimous)
   
5. MDC Ice Availability and Uses: WYSA has a contract for the small ice at the MDC Flynn rink from 7PM to 9PM beginning October 18, 2001 through March 14, 2002. It is assumed that WYSA will have the Saturday morning LoConte Ice, however, no contract has been signed to date. There are also negations to obtain the small sheet of ice at the Flynn rink on Tuesdays at 6:00 from Winchester in exchange for allowing their goalies to attend the WYSA goalie clinic for free. However, at this time, there is no confirmation that this will take place. Jack Losco suggested that the ice be rotated through out the organization for team use. Mike McCarthy is of the opinion that the ice should be used for structured skill sessions to be run by an outside organization. Due to the lack of certainty of the MDC ice other than the contracted Thursday Flynn ice, the Board will not make any changes to the use of the ice at the Flynn rink. Thursday at 7 PM to 8 PM will be the Mite/ Squirt skill, Thursday at 8 PM to 9 PM will be Peewee/Bantam skills. If the Tuesday Flynn ice becomes available, the Mite/Squirt skills will be moved to Tuesday at 6 PM and the goalie clinic will move to Thursday at 7 PM.
   
6. Goalie Clinic: At this time WYSA , with the assistance of Steve Evangelista, is negotiating with Mike Geragosian who is one of the most experienced and technical goaltender coaches in the country. Mr. Geragosian will have total responsibility for running the clinic including the choice of shooters. No more than three non-Wakefield goalies will be allowed to participate unless the Wakefield attendance is low. The Goalie clinic is contingent on receiving the Tuesday ice at the Flynn rink. Motion to accept Mike Geragosian as Goalie clinic instructor. Motion seconded. Discussions: None Vote 5 yes 1 abstain.
   
7. Update on Clinic Instructors: On August 23, 2001, the Board met with a Tony DiRito of the New England Edge ("the Edge"). The Board agreed that the Edge would be qualified to run the Sunday clinic. The Edge also expressed an interest to run the clinics on the Thursday/Tuesday / Saturday ice. Dan Cardillo, Mike McCarthy and Jack Losco commented that if the Edge ran the Sunday clinic, they would be more inclined to sign their children up. Mike McCarthy stated that the Edge does a much better job with the older kids than does Phil Wallace. Frank Micelli commented that Phil Wallace has done a fine job with the clinic and that there should be no need to replace him. Scott Haley and Bill McKay also leaned toward Phil Wallace. Brian Donahoe expressed concern with changing all the skills to Edge and proposed just changing Sunday’s and leave Phil in place for Tuesdays / Thursdays. A motion was made: "The Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday skill sessions will be negotiated with the New England Edge". Motion seconded. Discussions None Vote: 5 Yes, 1 No
   
8. Update on Midget teams – As of September 9, 2001 only 5 players signed up for the midget team. At the Board meeting on September 10, 2001 and additional 4 players signed up. The association requires 13 skaters and a goalie for a midget team. Since the there were not enough players signed up WYSA will not have a midget team for the 01-02 season. Subsequent to the meeting, Carol Brown was informed that Malden was looking for players for their midget team. Bill McKay is to follow-up with the request for players.

2. Lynnfield Ice: Lynnfield is looking to get rid of its 4:10 ice on Monday and Thursday at Hockeytown. The ice is $190 per hour. WYSA is going to purchase two sheets for the I-Mites (9/27 and 10/4) to make up for the 50 minute practice time at Hockeytown this year. A private interest has purchased the 10/11 ice. If any other party is interested in purchasing the ice for either the team or private use, let Brian Donahoe know and write a check to WYSA for $190.

V.) Committee Reports
Finance (Mark Hannigan) – Also See Special Meeting section under New Business

Mark Hannigan, along with the finance committee are investigating the cost and work involved to produce the yearbook in-house. Currently, the Association receives approximately $5,000 from the yearbooks with out doing any work. The individual currently producing the yearbook and collecting donations receives approximately $20,000. Mark would like to do the work in-house in order to keep the $20,000. Brian Donahoe suggested that Mark talk to Ellen Taylor, Val Yianacopolus or Tony Grassa who produced the yearbook for the Pop Warner. Although, Brian is not discouraging the idea, he did emphasize that it is a lot of work. He felt that the Pop Warner volunteers could lend a realistic point of view to the undertaking.

Mark received information about a subscription to a hockey magazine. The Association sells the subscription for $20 and gets to keep $10. The Board felt that with all of the other fundraising this year, that selling the magazine subscriptions should be put on hold this year.

The fundraising brochure was reviewed. A few suggested changes were:

Have a form for the donor to fill out and send to the Association, add that 100% of the donation is going to WYSA and that the donation is tax deductible, and eliminate the Snoopy character due to copy write issues.

Discussion were had related to earmarking donation for certain items such as ice, equipment, etc. It was decided that due to fund accounting rules that it would be too much work for the Treasurer to keep track of the segregated donations. The donations will go to the Association and disbursement of the contributions will be determined by the Board of Directors.

VI.) Old Business (prior meeting issues, policies)

1. 00-01 Equipment turn-in status: 01-02 Equipment Status

Medical kits are completed. Cones, pucks, shirts and socks are in. The Association is still missing a Medical Kit from Mike Surrette, a Medical Kit and puck bag from Mike McCarthy, and Goalie gear from Woolbert

2. Finalize content of Red Folder. Specific discussion on inclusion of Code of Conduct Handbook and Association Rules.

Contents: Practice Ice Schedule, Preliminary Tryout Dates, Chain of Command Document, Important Dates, Association Rules, Violation of Association Rules, Coaches Application, Cori Form, ˝ sheet ice practice schedule, Stories and Letters, Code of Conduct, Raffle Info, Heads up Don’t Duck, Correct Way to Deliver a Check, This is USA Hockey, USA Hockey Policies, Board phone numbers.

It was decided that the following items will be eliminated to reduce printing cost: Heads up Don’t Duck, Correct Way to Deliver a Check, This is USA Hockey, USA Hockey Policies In addition, the Violation of Association Rules form will be eliminated. In its stead, the members in attendance felt that any issues should be brought to the coach first and follow the chain of command. A violation form is not needed. The Code of Conduct book will be kept, but the signature page will be eliminated.

3. MDC Ice Availability

The Association is expecting to get the same MDC ice as last year ( Saturday Morning at LaConte, Tuesday and Thursday at Flynn) and potentially more when the new Malden arena opens.

4. Coaches meeting on August 23, 2001 at approx 7:30 pm

Attendance by a representative of each team is required. Steve Evangelista will lead the meeting. Suggested agenda items are: Dual State Protocol, Valley League Protocol, Parent meeting topics. The Board will receive a final agenda of the meeting.

VII.) New Business

1. Choosing of Midget Director: Bill McKay volunteered for the position.

Motion to accept Bill McKay as Midget Director. Motion Seconded, Discussions: None Vote: Unanimous


2. Update on Clinic instructor

Janet Filaramo handed out quotes and Rob Barletta information. Barletta is cost prohibitive at $210 per hour.
The Board plans to schedule an interview with the Edge to provide instruction for the clinic or the MDC ice.
Phil Wallace will also continue to be considered for the clinic and/or MDC ice.
The general issue related to the Sunday clinic is the attendance of the Peewee and Squirt teams. Janet Filoramo believes that attendance will increase if there is a new instructor. Past history predicts that a new instructor will not make a difference at the Peewee and Squirt level. Brian Donahoe is concerned that if the third hour is segregated to Squirt and Peewee only, that there will not be enough kids. If that happens, then he will open that hour up to the Mites. This puts children with a variety of skill levels together.

Janet believes the change to a new instructor will bring in people based on varied conversation that she has had with parents. These parents do not like how Phil Wallace runs the clinic. Gail Severt added that she was not happy with the clinic because of how the children were paired up (i.e. I Mites with Squirts). She believes that Phil and his helpers could have done a better job in grouping the kids. In addition, Gail mentioned that in many instances she saw kids standing around. Too often the helpers did not keep the drills moving.

Frank Longo feels that Phil does a good job with the clinic. The paring up of kids should not matter since ice time is ice time. Rich Brown also believes that Phil does a good job with the clinic.

Brian Donahoe’s concern is maximum use of the Sunday clinic ice. When Hockeyworks (Phil Wallace) first started we had three hours – Learn to skate, Instructional Mite and Mites, Squirts & Peewees. The Third hour was poorly attended due to low registration (24 players) and conflicts with Valley League, Dual State, basketball, and other activities. Over the past 3 seasons the clinic has expanded its focus on the younger level while the older levels were provided for with the Tuesday / Thursday skills at the Flynn MDC. Some of the complaints resulting in the move to make a change include: too much "down" time between drills, players not being paired up evenly, Phil yelling too much, some of his staff not being very good, etc.

Phil was hired to stabilize / improve the clinic and build the base (Instructional mite / mite levels) of the program. That has been accomplished – the association has been getting bigger for the last several years, especially at the mite level. We used to have 2 – 3 instructional teams and 3 mite teams – we now have 2 instructional teams, 2 Valley Buzzer teams and 3 mite teams.

The Board will interview the Edge as a possible new clinic director. It is not decided if WYSA will keep Phil Wallace or if they will change. The Board also is undecided as to the possibility of having outside instructors run the MDC ice skill sessions.

3. Shirt Pick-up night (August 23, 2001) at Americal Civic Center from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm

Directors need to let the coaches know that they should attend to help hand out shirts.

4. Picture night October 4, 2001 at Americal Civic Center

Times depend on game schedules. The coaches need to find out who will not be in attendance.

5. Plan 2^nd Coaches meeting - Tentative date is September 24, 2001
6. ˝ Sheet Practice Ice rotation schedule (will be included on Red Folder)

The 5:20 rotation sheet will change if there is a midget team.

7. MDC Ice Focal point and uses

The Board is waiting for the definitive ice times before determining its uses. The Board believes that Geragosian will run the goalie clinic.

8. Midget Practice Ice

The midgets can have the Friday 5:20 rotation ice for 10 weeks if there is a midget team. However, since there were no individual that signed up on August 13, 2001 is does not look like there will be a midget team for the 01-02 season.

9. Changes to Friday ice schedule

Hockeytown (as of the contracts) has gone to a 5:20 to 6:30 (70 minutes), 6:40 - 7:50 (70 minutes) and a 6:25 to 7:15 (50 minutes) schedule to allow the figure skating group an additional 45-minute session. We did have 5:20 - 6:20, 5:40 - 6:40 and 6:30 - 7:30. That screws up a few things. The instructional mites and Mite B/ Squirt BW teams get 70-minute sheets, while the Peewee C (Steve Evangelista) gets a 50-minute sheet. The rotation sheet is now reduced to 50 minutes and doesn't start until 6:25 PM - very few of

The Bantams will show, the Peewees will be sparse, the Instructionals really can't use it, neither can the Mite B / Squirt BW teams.


Those teams with the 70-minute practice ice will not be eligible for the ˝ sheet rotation ice. The I-Mites which will only have 50 minute practices will get to use the clinic ice on December 23^rd and 30^th.

10. Addition of Pee Wee and Bantam Player

The Magnuson family from Minnesota will join the organization. Tim is a 2^nd year Peewee and Jon is a 2^nd yr Bantam. Tim will practice with the Peewee C team and follow the same policy as the Mites. Jon will be added to the Bantams as an alternate.

11. Special Meeting held July 30, 2001

I.) Decision given to Parents of Three Children regarding placement on a Mite team

In attendance: Mike McCarthy, Gail Bonner, Mark Colangelo, Rich Dalton, Jayne Dalton, Ed Audet
Frank Micelli handed down the following Board Decision to the parents listed above: All three children will attend the Mite "C" practice on September 5, 2001. The Mite Director, Mite B coach, and two additional Board members will watch the practice. If the consensus of the group is that the children are clearly "head and shoulders" above the other children on the "C" team, then they will be asked to attend the Mite "B" practice on September 7, 2001.
The Mite Director, Mite A coach, and two additional Board members will watch the Mite "B" practice. If there is a Mite "B" game on September 8 or 9, then the children will play in that game. Ed Audet requested that he not be held to the equal ice time requirement during any game that the three may be involved with. The Board agreed to allow Ed Audet to skate the players as long as he felt was necessary to give a fair evaluation of the players to the Mite Director, Mite A coach and two additional Board Members who will be watching the game.
Final movement of the children to the "A" team will be based on the recommendation of those individuals witnessing the game and will be voted on by the Board of Directors. Lastly, the children’s fees must be paid in full by August 18^th to have their children rostered on any Mite team.

Jayne Dalton questioned why her son was an issue since he tried out and made the Mite "A" team. In addition, she thought there was a rule that a player could not move down a team level. Rich Dalton told Fred Massaro and Mike McCarthy that Ryan was not playing hockey in Wakefield in May and June. She was told that the rules no longer apply since they pulled Ryan out of the Association.
Gayle Bonner asked about missing the first weekend due to other commitments. It was explained that the three players must attend the practices and games or they will not be moved from the "C" team. All of the parents and coaches accepted the decision of the Board without further questions.

II.) Mite "A" team Assistant Coaches
Michael McCarthy chose Frank White, Mark Colangelo as assistant coaches, Brian Donahoe as Manager and Rich Dalton as On-Ice helper.
Motion to accept Michael McCarthy’s coaching staff. Motion Seconded.
Discussion: The Board questioned the commitment level of Frank White and Mark Colangelo. Both men have a son or god-son that play for other teams. This means that they could / would miss a number of games due to their other commitments. In addition, the Board questioned the assignment of coaches’ who’s sons / god-sons are not on the Mite "A" team.
Vote: 1 Yes, 5 No, 1 Abstain (Donahoe). The Board denied Mr. McCarthy’s coaching staff as requested.

III.) Finance Committee

Mark Hannigan presented a fund raising brochure to the Board. The brochure has the logo of the Association, picture and a mission statement. The brochure will be used to for fund raising from businesses. The Board reviewed the brochure a made suggestions. The entire Board liked the brochure idea.

Mr. Hannigan also requested that the Board fund the Ouch Pack fundraising idea. A check for $250.00 would purchase 250 Ouch Packs that would be sold for $2.00 a piece, netting a profit of $250. WYSA members on a voluntary basis would sell the Ouch Pack. The Committee also wanted to purchase space at the Wakefield Homecoming festival at the lake in September.
Motion to purchase Ouch Pack and space at Homecoming Festival. Motion Seconded. Discussion: None Vote: 6 Yes

VIII - Good of the Association (Any topic from any member of the Board or attendees)
Lisa Haley asked if the Board does anything to follow up with players that drop out of the organization. She had conversation with a few parents whose children no longer play hockey and they mentioned that they were hurt that the Board did not call them. Bob Gorton asked who the parents were so that he could talk in specifics since he was not aware that the Board had not followed up on players that leave the Association. Lisa said that the individuals were Taglieafero and Watts.

Bob said that the issue with Watts was that his parents wanted him to play in the Mites when his age dictated that he was a first year Squirt. The parents were unhappy with the decision and decided to leave. Since the Board could not change USA hockey rules, there was not much they could do. In the case of Taglieafero, when they found out that their son made the Squirt B White team, the requested that he be moved up to the Pee wee C team. Since the Pee Wee C team already had 15 players, the Board denied the request for the move. It was noted that they had to opportunity to move their son to the Pee wee C team prior to learning the results of the tryouts (the same as every other 2^nd year squirt). Since they were unhappy with the placement of their child, they left the association. The Board was disappointed in their decision.
