SUBJECT: MINOR HOUSE LEAGUE HOCKEY DEVELOPMENTS AND DRAFT AGREEMENT
NEWCASTLE VILLAGE MINOR HOCKEY
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following: -
1. That Report CS -03 -87 be received; and
2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement attached
for the Newcastle Village Minor Hockey Association to assume
responsibility for youth hockey in the Village of Newcastle.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
HOUSE LEAGUE HOCKEY
Back in May 1986 the undersigned reported to Committee a desire for the B.R.H.L.
and staff to meet with the Orono House League and Newcastle Village House League
to explore the possibility of a coordinated Town of Newcastle Hockey House
League.
Initial contact with the Newcastle Village and Orono Associations indicated that
there was a desire from all parties to investigate the possibility of a
coordinated House League.
Out of these discussions the following questions surfaced:

REPORT NO. CS -03 -87 Page 2.
a) Would Orono and Newcastle Village retain their own identified teams?
b) Would the three minute buzzer system be used?
c) How would the organization operate? - as one association or would Orono and
Newcastle Village run their own associations?
d) What will happen to Orono and Newcastle Village O.M.H.A. teams?
No concensus was reached on the above issues. However all groups were willing to
continue to explore the feasibility. Orono and Newcastle had been committed to the Tri
& United Country Hockey League for the 1986/87 season and would need substantial lead
time to change their program.
Staff will continue to keep Council informed of developments with Minor hockey in the
Town of Newcastle.
NEWCASTLE VILLAGE MINOR HOCKEY PROGRAM
As part of the review of minor hockey meetings have been taking place with the
Newcastle Village Minor Hockey Association to negotiate the transfer of the operation
of minor hockey in the Village of Newcastle from the Town to the Newcastle Village
Minor Hockey Association, herein referred to as N.V.M.H.A.
The N.V.M.H.A. has unofficially operated the Minor Hockey program in the Village for
the first half of the 1986/87 season in consultation with the Community Services
Department.
The funds made available through the Town's 1986 budget for the 1986/87 season
($3,000) has been used to pay for ice time for the Newcastle Village Minor Hockey
program. All registration fees have been collected and retained by the N.V.M.H.A.
Based on the meetings, the attached letter and staff's evaluation of their financial
position it is felt that the Newcastle Village Minor Hockey Association have shown the
leadership and committment to effectively manage and operate Minor Hockey in the
Village of Newcastle.
To this end an agreement has been drafted to transfer the Newcastle Village Minor

the Town at this time.
Staff will continue to work closely with this Association and keep Council informed of
further developments. At this time we wish to compliment the Newcastle Village Minor
Hockey Association on the efficient way they are operating the present program and
look forward to a continued positive working relationship in the future.
