REPORT #: CS-24-86 FILE #:
SUB.ECT: BOWMANVILLE MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
HOUSE LEAGUE DIVISION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following: -
1. That Report CS -24 -86 be received; and
2. That Council Resolution C- 544 -84 (agreement with the B.M.H.A. to assume
Recreational Hockey) be repealed; and
3. That staff be authorized to draft a new agreement for the assumption
of Recreational Hockey by the current House League Committee
in consultation with the B.M.H.A. Toros, the House League Committee
and the N.C.S.P.B.; and
4. That said draft be submitted to G.P.B A for review within one month.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
At the B.M.H.A. House League Annual Meeting March 27, 1986 the house league officially
requested the B.M.H.A. to terminate the agreement currently in place with the Town for
the B.M.H.A. to run recreational hockey in the Town of Newcastle (see attached letter
to Mr. Joe Real B.M.H.A. Toros).
Subsequently the B.M.H.A. Toros have submitted the attached letter to request the Town
to release the B.M.H.A. Toros from said agreement.
This letter also gives a history and some controversial issues that have come to light
in the past two years.

Page 2.
The B.M.H.A. House League Committee is a well organized and effective committee which
has done an excellent job in the past two years managing the House League Division.
This committee is prepared to assume complete control of the House League Division.
Staff have no hesitation in releasing the B.M.H.A. from its obligations as outlined in
the agreement with the Town and turning over said responsibility to the House League
Committee currently in place.
The intent of the current agreement as per attached and other issues should however,
be reviewed and a new agreement drafted for Council approval.
It is recommended that staff initiate a meeting with three (3) executive members of
the Toros and three (3) executive members of the House League Committee and the
current N.C.S.P.B. sub - committee on hockey for the purpose of composing a new
agreement for managing house league hockey in the Town of Newcastle and report back to
Council within one month.

Dear Jan,
April 10, 1986,
As I am sure you are aware the Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association
(B.M.H.A.) approached the Town of Newcastle in the spring of 1984
regarding minor hockey in Bowmanville. It was our feelings that a
more effective and well rounded program was possible for boys and
girls at the house league level of hockey.
It was agreed by the Town of Newcastle Council at that time to allow
the B.M.H.A. to look after all minor hockey in Bowmanville.
the B.M.H.A. was an organization of competitive teams and most of our
involved at the house league level we
own member's children were not
felt it would the housetleague.to l
T heseparents form f ed interested
frm committee and
parents from
became known as the B.M.H.A. House League.
A Minor Hockey Council was formed comprising itself of members from
both the Toro Division (competitive teams) and the House League
Division. This was to provide a forum where matters of mutual
concern could be discussed and also where we could offer suggestions
and direction to this newly formed group. I believe a genuine effort
was made by the Toros and most members of the House League to forge
an organization that was truly one, whereby all children would be
allowed to play organized hockey at a level consistant with their
interest and ability. During the past two years however, some major
differences and problems have arisen that seriously undermine that
goal.
The Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association is directed by and under
the jurisdiction of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (O.M.u.A.).
This agency insists that all member groups be insured through an
O.M.H.A. group policy to an amount of ten million dollars liability
coverage. To obtain this insurance all groups and their subsidiaries
must be affiliated with the O.M.H.A. Because the B.M.H.A. is a
member of the O.M.H.A. it necessitates the affiliation of our House
League with the affiliation
of Newcastleandtthe creates a of
concerns

In the mandate we recciv "A from the K n it was sLcted that House

are three separate 0.i. .A. centres. These are 3X .7.A.,
.A., Orono
Minor Yockey Association a.rd Newcastle Villave Minor Hockey Association.
Competitive teams must be formed from pl.avers drawn out of O.M.Y. A.
designated area. The 3A.F.A. draws •-lavers from Bowmanville and
i should be ooi.nted out that this
former 'Jarli_n�- ton Township only. t _l
residency rule does not apply to housa league teams. However the
House League provides hockey at a "Select' .level whereby the more
proficient players in the house league can try .out, and nlay f
Select Teams at their respective age roups. Because .these Select
Teams travel to other centres the 0.K. ".A. insists that the rules
pertaining to residency ap,,,ly to these teams in the same manner as
they do to the competitive teams. This rule would orohibit players
livi_n7 in Orono and Newcastle and playing° house league hockey in
Sow. ar_ville from takin7 part in the Select pro.ram. No one would be
put out of hcckey but they would have to nlay for their home centre
if they wished to partake of a slj7htly hi -her caliber of competition
(Select Hockey).
The O.I'i.N.A. views Select Hockey as an extension of the local house
league. It is a program that is not to interfere with the house
league teams but is to provide a forum where the more talented player
can ne ;-iven more advanced instruction and competition.
In light
of the O.r.H.A.'s desire not to have Select Hockey in any way detract
from the house league they have a rule l.imitin:; these Select 'Teams
• ,- ,�P Within the
to two games per month plus two tournaments per year.
Bowmanv_i�lle House League-the Select prooram is looked at as something
more tear what is perceived by the OZ7,4.A. Because of this the
House League have not been able to see their way clear to affiliate
with the O.K.P.A.
ould force affiliation on the House Lea7ue but
As you are aware we c
it has not beer our desire in the past nor. is it our desire now to
do snythin r other Char create a healthy at iosnhere t0ovOh which the

If the Town of Newcastle allows us to return the house league hockey
to them we would be recommending it be turned over to the House
League Committee that is now in place. We are of the opinion they
are operating a program that satisfies our reasons for first
approaching the Town regarding house league hockey.
If the Town of Newcastle allows the two groups to run separately
several considerations must be considered. Firstly our organization
is legally incorporated as the Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association
therefore the new House League would have to find an,,ialternate
name to operate under.
Secondl$r, as a competitive organization our teams are selected through
a system of try -outs. This presents two concerns. The first is a
desire to ensure that all players not successfully being picked for
one of our teams still have a place to play hockey. We would suggest
that any agreement the Town might enter into with the new House League
Executive would include a condition whereby any player dropped from
a B.M.H.A. team up to and including November first of each year be
guaranteed a position in the House League. The second concern involves
the Select Program. As both our program and the Select program are
based on try -out systems we feel it is imperative they do not conflict.
Ice is not available to us as a rule until approximately the third
weekend of September each year. To give each prospective player
a fair opportunity to make one of our teams our coaches need ample
time to chose their players.. Players not making our teams should in
our opinion be given the opportunity to try out for one of the Select
teams in the house league. If Select hockey try -outs commence before
ours are finished a player could miss the chance of trying out for
a Select team if he has been unsuccessful with the B.M.H.A. team.
Not wanting to have a player penalized for desiring to play for a
competitive team and our views that Select hockey is only an extension
of the House League we would make the following suggestion. Since
November first of each year has been historically the date whereby
our unsuccessful candidates are guaranteed a position in the House
League we would suggest that same date be used by the House League
as a start time for their Select try -outs. It is our views that
not only would this date better facilitate our program but it would
also give the Select coaches an opportunity to view prospective players
in the House League which starts the first Saturday of October each
year. These Select coaches would also be more than welcome to view
our try -outs as well. We feel it is imperative that these concerns
be reflected in any agreement between the Town and the new House
League organization.

As mentioned before it is with regret that we must ask to relinquish
the House League. However we are more than willing to provide
whatever assistance possible to the Town or to whomever the Town
entrusts with House League Hockey.
If any concerns or questions arise out of this matter please do not
hesitate to contact us.

Dear Joe:
During our annual meeting held March 23, 1986 a motion was made and
passed to not affiliate;B.M.H.A.` H.L. with the,O.M.H.A.
This decision came about due to the following:
1) the impact that affiliation would have on children living outside
of Darlington Township wanting to playhouse league hockey.
2) the impact on house league teams plaving exhibition games and
tournaments in the surrounding area.
3) the impact on house league select teams plaving in names and
tournaments.
4) the inability to get clarificati.on,`in writing of O.M.H.A. rules
anti. how, they would affect the house; league.
Due to the above, we `£eel that it �uld be. in the best interest of
hockey,and,,both organizations too rate aseparate, bodies
