The Goderich Minor Hockey
Association was also on hand
o.ffcially .requesting an
assistance grant. They presented
their buget from 1970-71
showing that the club- had
operated_ at a deficit of 1394. To
this the delegation added that
operating costs wee increasing

request ryas... referred until the

Studied and the Recreation
Board agreed to study the grant
requests from both the Minor
Hockey and Figure Skating
groupsr•at that time. .
Tempers flared momentarily
during the_discussions held with
the Minor Hockey Association
when the group referred to 'a
case of their ice time having
skating and' hockey_
been taken away from them
without previous notice. This,
they - said, was- contrary to an
agreement made., with the Arena
Committee and Arena Manager.
The agreement said they would
be glad to rearrange their
w schedule to accommodate
special--e:+t,rits if they were
notified t 'p weeks in advance,
this was not done they said.
Arena Committee
representatives' however said the
agreetnent was for only a, one
week notice and that the Arena
Manager did . not have to notify
them of such action.
After a .heated debate of
about 10 minutes the agreement
as recorded In. the minute books
was read and Board Chairman
fan! Carroll assured the Minor
Hockey Association that no
arbitrairy arrangements should
have been made and suggested'
that perhaps the Arena Manager
had not fully ',understood the
agreement.
