Commissioner’s Report

Bob Doherty informed the board of the following:

  • Bob Doherty elected for the Position of SCAHA Commissioner and Sandy Blumberg elected for the Position of Deputy Commissioner

 

Bob Doherty spoke about the Bantam A issue and the socal-hockey board and stated that while we all make mistakes; it is how these mistakes are handled that count. Issues such as these should always be metered through the club presidents and not a hockey forum board where people post opinions anonymously without any regards to the truth and/or consequences of their statements. The matter was resolved with the best information that was available at that time.

 

New Business

Bob Doherty presented Sam Uisprapassorn, president of the Tri-County Penguins who is petitioning SCAHA for New Membership as per SCAHA article 4.07. There are 20 club presidents present and as per SCAHA article 4.07, new clubs shall be approved for membership by a vote of 2/3 of the existing member clubs present at a meeting. Some highlights of the Tri- County presentation are:

  • MD AA16 team played 46 exhibition games
  • Of the 17 players on the team, 6 are new to SCAHA
  • They would field a SQB, PWB and BNB for the upcoming year
  • Home rink would be KHS
  • Jersey would be the baby blue Winter Classic Penguin jersey

 

Answers to questions posed by SCAHA presidents:

  • There is no listing of the corporation with the State
  • It is a for Profit organization, with Sam Uisprapassorn as President and Vicky Uisprapassorn as CFO
  • Bylaws are incomplete and do not mirror language of USAH and/or SCAHA bylaws
  • No plan was presented on how the organization is expanding and/or advancing youth hockey within the community

 

Monica Lewis motioned to deny the Tri-County Penguins SCAHA membership for the 2010-2011 season. 19 Club presidents voted in favor of the motion, and 1 abstained.

                                                                                                (motion SECONDED and PASSED)

next SCAHA meeting.

 

SCAHA Playoffs

Bob Doherty and Sandy Blumberg reminded the board that SCAHA is expecting each member

team to be at their best behavior during playoffs and that club presidents should send an email blast

to their teams reminding them of this. Best of luck to all the teams!
