Thompson Cindy Pel bono and Mickey Rich mond were playing strong games on offense He also said Barb Mac Kinnon was playing well Tor a first year senior endorsing travelling Our house league teams can more power to them if they want to play exhibition games gainst Burlington or Brampton As In the Flash Tax situation we re more than happy to have them go to tournaments because really where you get the greatest enjoyment out of minor hockey The Herald Maybe you could explain difference between Tier II and the remain ing Selects teams In Georgetown Tom Davidson The Selects is a house league AilStar team The maximum a Select team can play is two games per and I believe Its two or three tournaments maximum The thought Is to provide the house league players with a little bit more competition a little more opportunity to travel What doesnt want are people to slack Selects teams or hey don want players to not play for their County team or their Tier II team who may play for a Select team then go to tournaments to beat everybody The Herald As opposed to Tier II who play once per week Tom Davidson Once a week now Tier II as I said that an experimental league That a not a normal Tier 11 Her is normally just a second rep team where you play a whole lot of teams and have a whole lot of practices and they go all over the place What the Tier II In Georgetown now is they play once a week one week at home one week away so it a house league typo format In playing and also practising once per week It a two hours per week maximum and we allow our teams to go lo a maximum of three tournaments Our Tier is an experimental Tier to my knowledge it the only one In Ontario I know the Ontario Minor Hockey tlon is looking at It very carefully because I really feel it will be the forerunner of hockey in future and because of energy costs transportation costs and outside Interests It realty a big commitment by the player and the parent lo now play In a Hep organisation

far works In town with foresee any problems in accommodating It learns In Tom Davidson Most definitely there are a number of areas first of all we have no extra Ice time at the moment we are strapped We have nothing available Is working with us not entirely for our benefit would ke to see our Tier II expanded because if we develop a better Tier II system then those players will put more pressure on the own Trl County players which will then create a competitive atmo sphere and then hopefully they get better So extra ice they hove they are to my knowledge Our Selects we have It In M nor Atom and Pee Wee I personally would like to sec It through the whole league but there no Ice I d like lo expand It Bantam next year which means probably Atom and Pee Wee Selects will have lo suffer a little bit maybe an hour a month They have lo find their own ice for practices The Town Li January is supposedly coming up with a new format I think the hours were going lo slay the same but the rates would change possibly so lhat the more people an association can use on the Ice the better the rate a user pay philosophy On the topic of ice time for the we would like to get practice time for cams but there no ice right now If anybody is concerned about this issue and would like see the kids get more Ice 1 be more than happy lo have them step forward not by themselves but with me with us and make a presentation or look Into the ways that would make It more viable The Herald Ai as future of minor hockey goes maybe you could speak o what your of the future holds for nol only minor hockey In Canada but minor hockey In Tom Davidson We If we hit the ice can I do anymore than we re doing with the lee Thatsafact Wejustcant If Ice becomes available I would like to see Selects both major and minor I think Tier II may also go minor major We re getting people to try out for our Tier II and so it s got to be a popular extension of our house league In Development Program we d 1 see every house league kid get two hours per week That goal that can t be met because of Ice restrictions Bui hopefully we can work that out for some of the learns The Herald Would you like to say something about the future of minor hockey In Canada Tom Davldion The trend is down I believe there are fewer hockey players now than ever played I think registrations would be down everywhere Except Georgetown We were down a bit really this year but we were told through Ihe OMHA office that per capita Georgetown is the strongest centre In Ontario That why the town is In a squeeze The town says to us that per capita we have more than enough arena capacity than what needed heavy on the per capita Then we soy nuts to the per capita go to the arena or listen In on our phone Probably there s a boom coming through and when its gone there U probably be Ice The Herald do yon think there a thai added popularity In Georgetown lor minor Tom People are sadistic laughing I I really don know but I think its good It keeps the kids busy and certainly keeps the parents busy and It creates a good atmosphere GDMHA selling buttons For the first time the Georgetown District Minor Hockey Association is soiling
