troubling for GHMA By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor Unpaid ice time that often wasnt used and registration pro cedures of the Halton Humcares AAA organization has caused the Georgetown Minor Hockey Association some concern As preparations are being made for the upcoming season problems experienced last year by the new hockey group have prompted the GMHA to seek a meeting being moderated by the head of the Halton Hills Recrea tion and Parks Department GMHA President Hal Pells said 50 hours worth of ice time given to Hurricanes by his organization wasnt utilized which he said was a shame because there are so many other groups which could have used it The ice was completely idle The socalled triple A let it go vacant As a result we GMHA booked all of our own ice first this year and then gave thenrwhat was left Terry Brandt vicechairman of Halton Hurricanes said AAA had to take alt the ice time in a block as part of the contract and that most of the unused hours were very early weekend times Having an opening at 6 00 a on a Saturday is not as far as Im concerned a very good practice time When youre br inging in players who live in Orangevjlle or to practice in Georgetown it asinine Brandt said he has requested more weekday ice time from both Georgetown and Miltons hockey groups but with each centre cut ting the hours given to Hur ricanes and the GMHA choosing its hours first he wasnt sure if that would happen Pells said the GMHAs main concern this year is that the Town of Halton Hills will be coming to his group seeking ice fees booked to AAA which were contracted directly to Hurricanes in Brandt acknowledged that Hur ricanes just paid its last bills to Halton Hills two weeks ago and still owes Milton Pells said the would now be responsible for those costs if Hurricanes ran out of money again forcing him to set up a new payment arrangement They seemed to run out of money around February last year and we dont want to be stuck with any bills To avoid this were going to get each mon ths ice payments in advance or they wont get to use it Tom Shepard director of Hills Recreation and Parks is sen ding them a letter to set up a meeting for sometime next week Pells said another items up for discussion at the meeting will be about the Hurricane organization registering players before the youngsters done so with their local hockey group first He said that is something AAA agreed to last year and are now going back on its Brandt admitted registrations have taken place adding that the fees have been going to pay off last years bills However he said
