Notice of Motion:
Tim Sutton: 05/17/22
PART II - ARTICLE TWO.THREE - Team Official(s) Rules
Team officials shall only be permitted to be rostered to one (1) competitive team per season. A spouse of a team official shall be permitted on HL rosters but shall not be permitted to be on any competitive team roster. (Spouse is defined as wife, husband, ex-wife, ex-husband, or common law relationship)
Rationale:
Adding a bylaw that restricts parents from being team officials on multiple competitive rosters will limit control or optics of control of said teams and provide the opportunity for more parents to get involved as volunteers. This bylaw should not apply to non-parent team officials.
Anonymous: 05/10/22
Motion that all import players from the 2022 season not be grandfathered into the CGHA
Rationale:
Anonymous due to the potential impact to the player, and the motion is brought because the bylaws were not followed concerning the numbers outlined, far exceeded and that a new policy was introduced mid tryouts impacting such number before the membership could vote, this however with an appreciation and understanding that the board is working on a development plan and new approach to imports for 2023 which we look forward to hearing.
