President’s Report: Rob Lentowich

Written Report submitted by Rob Lentowich:

a. Springfield hosted a conditioning camp with 15 players attending.

b. Springfield hosted 2 R4U teams, 1 U10 team, 1 U12 team, a U14 team, the U16A1 Heat team, and an Open team for a total of 8 teams.

c. Our U14 team won the U14B Provincials, Silver in WRL, Bronze in ERL. U12 secured bronze in WRL, and placed 4th in Provincials. U10 won gold in

ERL. 9 of our Springfield girls went to Edmonton as part of the Wild and Flames in the Western Championships for the U14AA. With special mention to Amanda Vann for winning goaltender of the tournament.

d. It is logical to project that our program is going to continue to grow next year similar to last year.

e. SRA switched to Team Snap and cancelled the Point Streak account. This resulted in a very smooth registration process, the customer service was

helpful and all the teams used team snap as part of the built in program.

f. SRA ran several advertisements including Facebook, Instagram and The Clipper. SRA found that online advertisements including emails and

handouts at local events seem to provide the greatest return on money invested.

g. SRA ran another successful end of year tournament which grew in size despite having 2 less home teams in it.

h. SRA ran a pilot power skating program, spear headed by the VP. This was deemed a success and SRA will be looking into further expansion of this

program in the future.

i. SRA participated in the Chicken Daze parade again! Candy was handed out.

j. The year should be considered a success on every level. Our program grew in size and its popularity has never been as high as it is now. Ringette is

quickly becoming a pillar in this community and we are now the 2nd largest Ringette program in Eastman.

Vice President’s Report: Danielle Hildebrand

a. Good year, no major issues.

b. Power skating was a good addition, try to make it ongoing on a regular basis.

c. Thanked board members for their time

Treasurer’s Report: Kim Harmatiuk

a. Financials are not ready due to switching banks.

b. Need more corporate sponsors and fundraising, did not bring in a lot of money this year.

c. Waiting for tournament funds to come in.

d. Everything is paid for. Changing over to TeamSnap was a large expense.

e. SRA should put financial online for transparency.

Secretary’s Report: Pam Bosiuk

Written Report submitted by Pam Bosiuk:

a. Two meetings were held this year, on November 12, 2018 and April 8, 2019.

Player Development Chairperson’sReport: Garth Cook

Written Report submitted by Garth Cook:

a. SRA WELCOME BACK CONDITIONING CAMP 9/17 - 9/21/18

- Instruction split between Danielle Hildebrand & Keyona Tomiak- Assisted by Milicia Oravec-18 attended, u10/u12- $110/player- $40/hr for instructor, $20/hr for assistant

b. COME PLAY RINGETTE 11/3/18 12:45pm

- Supported and funded by ERA in lieu of Ringette Manitoba- Held on Ringette Day- Thank you to Debbie Peters for leading on ice

- Approx. 16 attended (6 subsequently registered)- Huge thanks to Leah Sholdra, Dustin Dent, Heather Wassing, R4U coaches and

Eastman Flames u14AA for assistance on/off ice- Below is a complete event summary for reference:

Eastman Ringette Association - Come Try Ringette Questionnaire

1. Did your club distribute MRA flyers? If so, how many were distributed?

No. We printed and distributed our own. 500 in total.

2. Total number of schools targeted (please list names).

Dugald, Anola, Hazelridge, Oakbank.

3. Age group targeted?

R4U. Grades K-2

4. How many players pre-registered for the event? Of those, how many registered through the website/email?

Eleven registered with via email. There were at least 3 parents that wanted to register, but the timing didn’t work. There were a couple of walk-ups as well.

5. How many players attended?

Approx. 14-16 with the R4U’s that joined in.

6. How many players subsequently registered with your program? That day or later?

Six. It was enough to split our R4U’s into two teams for the 2nd half.

7. What other publicity was done for your event (radio, newspaper, coffee news, etc.)?

SRA Newsletter, SRA social media, word of mouth.

8. Did you put up MRA posters? If so, where?

No. The only posted advertisement was on the SRA bulletin board at Oakbank Arena.

9. Did you target all communities within your catchment area (please list communities)?

Dugald, Anola, Hazelridge, Oakbank.

10. What other activities took place that day, on or off the ice?

Free hotdog, juice, and snack, Balloon animals, Ringette Day in Springfield featuring all levels of the game.

11. List any other important item that you feel is relevant to your Come Try Ringette event, what you found to be very useful, what you would modify or leave out, etc.

The theory behind having this event after the season started was for quite a few reasons:

1. Our only available ice prior to season start was at an undesirable timeslot (9am).

2. The pre-season ice slot available was followed by hockey. No R4U or any other ringette games scheduled.

3. Held on Ringette Day, Nov.3, 2018 @ 12:45pm. Entire day (9am-4:15pm) dedicated to Ringette.

4. I think it is very important to surround the event by other ringette activity, specifically an actual scheduled R4U game and a AA game on ice times prior

to the event to really show parents what it is all about.

5. The players from the previous R4U game (Lorette and Springfield) were invited to stay and play. I think this was a bonus and added to the excitement for the new kids.

6. Volunteers are more readily available on Ringette Day. Can’t say enough about how much the coaching staff and managers of our R4U teams helped in this

regard. It was also nice to have AA players (in uniform) skate with the kids

7. By November, all registration for winter activities is closed. With the start of the school year and all the information going home (just for school) is

overwhelming for parents of kids this age. That, with all the other winter activities looking to get a kid registered, means registration for any sport can be overlooked. Waiting until all of this is over gives Ringette a chance to steal the spotlight and grab the attention of the parents. Kids will be settled in school and the ones that are playing have a chance to convince their friends that they can still sign up.

8. If planned properly, R4U should be allowed to take registrants any time of year since it is a developmental / learning program. There are no playoffs or

formal team formation.

9. I was not aware of a specific timeframe in which Ringette Canada supports CTR events. MRA was a huge help with this event regardless with the use of equipment and issuing of a social sanction.

10. I believe our event was as successful as a fully supported CTR.

12. What were your expenses (please provide copies of itemized receipts)?

Hotdogs, buns and drinks were kindly donated by our local CO-OP and were a big hit. The 2-3 hours to make sure every kid had a custom balloon animal was also

donated, yet again by Heather Wassing. Expenses will be for

condiments, balloon making replacement items, advertisement @$149.24 payable to Garth Cook (receipts attached) and 1 hour of ice rental @ $165 payable to SRA (invoice to be submitted by SRA).

c. POWER SKATING 2/4/19 ; 2/24/19 ; 2/25/19 (3 hours total)

- Organized by Danielle H. late in the season- 20 u10/u12 skaters- Focus on balance and edge work- Cost $30/skater- Contacted ERA to support the integration of Power Skating throughout the

regular season. No commitments or formalities have been made to date.

Ice Scheduler’s Report: Victor DaSilva

Written Report submitted by Victor DaSilva:

a. The Ice scheduling goals for this year were to have set practice times for every team, equal amount of practices for each team, to do away with half ice

practices, and not burn any ice.

b. The scheduling of set practice times for every team worked out well for the most part, for the exception of a couple adjustments due to blackout date, and the

addition of a open team during the season. Trying to give every team equal amount of practice time was difficult due to set practice times and blackouts date throughout the season. There was added difficulty due to game scheduling that prevented teams to be available for extra ice practices. I didn’t schedule any half ice practices this season.

c. The total practice time for each team for this season is as follows:

· R4U 32 hr + games· U10 33 hr + games· U12 37 hr + games· U14 26 hr + games· Stars 7 hr games only· HEAT 20 hr + games

d. The Eastman U16A Heat team was co hosted along with Lorette and we only made up half of their practice ice.

e. A total of 11 ice slots burnt this season.

Merchandise Chairperson’s Report: Michelle Sylvester

a. Not a great year for merchandise. Track pants were popular.

b. U14’s did not buy Springfield attire as they made a new logo.

c. U12’s ordered their own sweatshirts.

d. Merchandise is not a money maker, we only break even.

Tournament Chairperson’s Report: Rob Peterson

Written Report submitted by Rob Peterson:

a. Goal: Hold a home tournament where a focus is on developing competitive loops and a focus on fun and ending your year on a positive note.

b. March 13 - 17 we held our home tournament with 12 teams with the 3 loops. U10A2, U10A3-4, and a U12A3-4. Tournament fee was $650 for 3

guaranteed games which is in line with other tournaments. A $500 Fee was given to the home club in return for a $150 donation to the silent auction prizes.

c. The tournament committee focused on giving out great goodie bags, giving fans other food options other than the canteen, great silent auction prizes,

fun activities for the girls in our common room and hosting a welcoming environment which teams will want to come back. Special thanks

to all of the U10 parents who volunteered their time to help with goodie bags and also during the weekend.

d. The tournament was a success as there was many positive comments from coaches and managers who came out to the tournament. Final numbers

are not finished but SRA will make a profit of approximately $2700.

e. For the 2019 - 2020 season we are hosting the Eastman playoffs and can use this as a fundraising opportunity.

Coaching Development Chairperson’s Report: Barry Hobday

No report submitted. Rob Lentowich stated that coaches went for extra training this year. It was a positive year for all coaches, no major issues only minor concerns.

Equipment Manager’s Report: Neal King

No report submitted.

a. Rob Lentowich said everything is the same as Perry Ducharme’s report from last year. There was decent compliance to the “rules”. We are getting goalie

equipment donated. We need to purchase more rings. There are lots of jerseys that are still in decent shape, with an abundance of large adult size jerseys. Having a harder time finding smaller jerseys now that there are 2 teams at both the U10 and U12 level.

Referee/Minor Officials Scheduler Report: Jason Franklin

Written Report submitted by Jason Franklin:

Minor Officials Scheduler Duties:

i. Work closely with the Ice Scheduler and Referee Scheduler to coordinate scheduling of minor officials for all SRA home league games.

ii. Work closely with the Tournament Chairperson to coordinate scheduling of all minor officials for SRA sponsored tournaments, as required.

iii. Work closely with the SRA Treasurer to ensure that minor officials are paid for services and mileage in a timely manner. Attempt to minimize travel costs

where possible by booking minor officials for multiple games where possible.

iv. Adhere to budget set by Executive for minor official costs.

v. Exercise a vote as a standing member of the Committee.

a. All games played at OBCC including this year’s tournament had officials on and off the ice present, no game interruptions due to a lack of officials this

year.

b. All officials were paid.

c. We are in need of more Timekeepers and Scorekeepers, Eastman has not done their job in providing enough opportunities for officials to be trained.

Sport Manitoba informed me that Eastman would hold two clinics this year (Exhibit A), yet only one was held, (Exhibit B). (Exhibits attached to minutes.)

d. After requesting as much time as possible to get the as many people informed of any upcoming clinics, (I started requesting a clinic date and time Aug 17, Exhibit

C page 4), I was told by the president of Eastman that I should not contact RMB for clinic information but to contact Eastman, and that they had a solid plan for training officials and had been working on it since the previous season, (Exhibit C page 3). After again asking to be told of the dates directly as soon as they are finalized, (Exhibit page 3), I then learned about the one clinic they did end up scheduling from RMB’s website only 5 days prior, clearly not enough time to give people proper notice to make plans and attend.

e. Eastman has not done their job in training new shot clock operators, time keepers and score keepers, putting our program at risk of not having

enough trained officials to cover all games going forward.

Board Reports

Posted on the Springfieldringette.com website

President’s Report

This year, from a Springfield Ringette Perspective, presented many challenges and hurdles. Our continued growth had new challenges for the board and our association. Our success from a competitive stand point also highlighted our programs focus on development and skill progression as a positive one.

We have taken huge strides on the Manitoba stage again winning multiple banners and medals in the playoffs and tournaments. We have U12A1 winning gold in ERA playoffs, we have the U10 winning gold in the ERA playoffs and WRL playoffs. We continue to supply the majority of players to the Eastman AA program and supplied a large amount of players to the newly formed U14A program as well.

A increase in ice time per team and focus on skill development and our new goalie sponsorship program coupled with having extremely talented and dedicated coaches at all levels our small community has become a ringette powerhouse within the province.

SRA hosted the ERA playoffs this year. This allowed us to luckily have a primary fundraiser just before the Pandemic hit Canada. This event was a huge success on the ice as well as off the ice. A huge thanks goes out to all our volunteers and local business's who supported this huge undertaking.

This will be my last year as president of SRA. Its time to hand the board over to the upcoming parents of new generations of ringette players and families. I wish the future president and board members success. During my tenure I would be remiss if I said I did not lean heavily on many people for advice and direction for the program. SRA as an organization went in a new direction after I came on board and I would to think it was successful. However I would like to take this time to acknowledge past presidents and board members for building such a successful foundation to build upon. It would be my primary wish to see the next president take what myself and the board have built and make it even more successful, to build upon what we have done and take it further. My only word of advice is always put the program first, be compassionate where you can, be firm where you must.

To the many friends I have made throughout this journey I would like to thank you for being by my side during many moments, both good and bad. To all the parents who I encountered, I thank you for showing the passion and concern about the sport and the on going operations of SRA.

Most of all thank you to the players, on ice success can be measured in many ways. Yes we have the banners to show that we can win and compete with much larger clubs. However what I saw in dressing rooms, on the practice ice, on the bench and in the stands speaks the loudest. Being a ringette player in Springfield MEANS something. You are a part of a community that cares about the sport and each other. I have encountered so many special individuals. I have seen leaders grow and children grow up. Every week I would be surprised by a comment a player made, an improvement on ice, a suggestion on strategy, but most of all the growth of that player's confidence and personality because of the sport and the community. I honestly think the players taught me more then I taught them. So for that I say thank you.

Your Truly

Rob Lentowich
