Interview It was understood tbst portions of Hie inter view would be edited Tor a feature on Minor Hockey Week The Herald What have you found have been same of the biggest chill cages for you this year In starting out your portfolio as Director of Hockey John I the biggest challenge has been Ihe fact that it the first year under a merged group and being able lo synchronize house league and rep hockey under one Jurisdic tion Personally the biggest challenge is the that I had very little to do house league up until this year now all of a sudden its thrown all under one blanket My proposal for next year is and It looks like it a going to go through In Ihe new tlon there will be more than one director of hockey Thay would be split up The Herald Do you find that working with those sheer
