Hockey club has new executive

100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association fill key executive positions

The annual general meeting for 100 Mile & District Minor Hockey Association, held April 23 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, didn’t draw a large number of people, but it was productive.

All key positions were filled, says new past-president Darryl Blades.

“I think the meeting went very well. We have new people on the executive and more volunteers.”

Stepping up to the position of president is Matt Bowen, who served as a vice-president last season.

First vice-president is Matt Carr, and second vice-president is Kim Mills. Both are new to the hockey club executive.

Cara Bowen remains as secretary and Loretta Taylor stays on as treasurer for another term.

Directors are Janice Poggenpohl, Duanne Popadinac, Cale Tessaro, and director of female hockey is Cristy Mellott.

Denise Balbirnie is president of the parent’s auxiliary.

Blades says he is confident the hockey association is in good hands.

“People with kids in the younger divisions are stepping up, and that’s good because those kids will be in the system for a few years, and us with older kids, soon to leave the system, are fading out.

I think we have a very good executive and I’m looking forward to the 2013/14 season.”
