The IHF Board invites you to a Town Hall Meeting with us this coming week. This unique opportunity is for parents, players, coaches, managers and hockey fans alike to engage a panel comprised of Board members, rink managers and key influencers, in a dialogue seeking to work actively together for the betterment of the league and the sport of hockey.

This Town Hall Meeting will be moderated by noted sports psychologist and broadcaster, Dr. Casey Cooper. Dr. Cooper will moderate the program to insure that the questions and answers stay on point and serve to illuminate our way forward.

Fashioned somewhat after a city council or school board meeting, this Meeting will give speakers having completed the attached Speakers Registration form three minutes to address the panel with their concerns. Tentative topics included on the agenda are listed below, but new topics may be introduced by completing the attached form and submitting it in advance of the meeting. Forms will also be available at the door.

Tentative Topics for the Town Hall Meeting may include:

The Rise in Violence & Decrease in Sportsmanship · Uniform Officiating · Certification of Officials · Certification of Coaches · Rules Enforcement & Game Supervisors · Scheduling/Current 2008-2009 Season · Scheduling/New 2009-2010 Season · Methodology of Divisional Alignments (and their Adjustments) · Forfeit Rule · New School Clubs · Teams & Conferences · Rule Changes for Goalie Eligibility · Rule Changes for Playoff Eligibility · CIF Sanctioning of Roller Hockey (Pro or Con) · Nomination of new Board Members.

Registered speakers will be grouped by topic and called upon by Dr. Cooper. Based on the number of speakers on any one topic, Dr. Cooper may choose to ask that the interested speakers designate a limited number of speakers so as to avoid repetition and stay within time guidelines. The meeting is scheduled to last two hours, but some Panel members may be available for further discussion after the close of business. Some speakers and/or groups may be invited to meet with the Board again to delve further into their concerns.

Best regards,

IHF Board of Directors
