The
Sioux Lookout Flyers Jr. A Hockey Club held a community meeting on May 17th in
preparation for the Club’s Annual General Meeting to be held at 7pm, Tuesday,
May 31 at the Lamplighter Motel meeting room.
The purpose of the community meeting was to provide information to the public
prior to the AGM, to solicit new leadership, and to answer questions.
Approximately thirty people attended the community meeting. The current
Directors noted that the Club broke even this past season with approximately
$217,000 revenues and $216,000 expenses. The Club remains in debt, largely from
the first year of operation.
For various personal reasons the Club’s current Directors are each resigning
effective the coming AGM. New leadership is required if the Club is to operate
next season. As noted at the community meeting, although the Club needs new
leadership, the organizational infrastructure to operate a Jr. A Hockey Club is
in place
. The challenges for the Club at this time are raising finances for operations,
player recruitment, and public relations.
Those who are interested in participating should contact existing Directors
(Doug Lawrance, Les Wills, Andreas Kottschoth, Carol Roy, Niels Madsen).
