Motion: ‘That the Treasurer’s report be approved as presented.’
Second: Todd Peterson CARRIED

Dave reviewed plans for player safety and the importance of paying attention to possible head injuries, approaches when a player has gone down with possible head injury or suspected concussion. Protocols are being established and must be taken seriously.
A player medical form is being developed and IS NOT MANDATORY BUT COULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF SOMEONE IS INJURED.
Cleaning protocols should carry on with the same covid caution that was in place during peak covid. Regular cleaning of equipment and washing should be practiced by all players continuously.
- Constitution Changes for Consideration
Motion /Dave Hume “that the 60+ Hockey League make the following changes to the existing constitution as highlighted in red below:
5. At any duly scheduled General Meeting or a Special Meeting, requested by the League Executive, a quorum shall consist of a simple majority of the Memberspresent at the meeting. Voting by proxy is not permitted.

These constitution changes will be updated on the website by the Website manager, Phil MacIntyre
- Rosters/Scheduling – Ron Dagert
Ron indicated that the sign-up sheets for Jan/Feb will be available shortly.
Ron provided a reminder as to the steps to follow in making use of the sub list when looking for a replacement.

- 55+ Senior Games – Chuck Hainsworth
This will take place from Aug 27-30, 2024. Chuck indicated to let him know if you are interested in being on one of the teams (ie. 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+) as soon as possible.
- Referee in Chief Report – Brian Obed
Brian highlighted that, although, there has been some good participation by volunteer referees stepping up, the numbers are not near enough right now. The numbers show that only 40% of players referreed last year. To have refs for all games we need greater participation.
With respect to player safety Chuck Hainsworth mentioned suggestions that the trail man give up the puck to the lead man instead of crashing the boards. Many risky plays for injury take place along the boards. We all need to be thoughtful in these situations when playing and make every effort to reduce stick work that risks player safety.

Ken Crump announced that Don Reimer was taking over as the new Health and Wellness Coordinator and will do a great job.
- Expansion Report – Harve Birns
Harve indicated that the expansion project awaits approval of a City of Saskatoon permit (who said ‘you can rush city hall’ – not true)
There will likely be an additional 95 to 99 new stalls. Stall construction is the responsibility of the 60+ Hockey League. Rod Gibson is coordinating stall construction with a stall building committee.
Priority seating space will be provided for goalies in the layout of stalls. Brian Harmsworth, the general contractor has completed the excavation and reinforced concrete support slab.
Par McAdam provided time with his excavator and bucket and Ken Menz provided his skid steer loader and time for the necessary excavations.
Brian Harmsworth is waiting for the approval of the city building permits to continue construction of the new dressing room addition. The permits were submitted by Kindrachuk Agrey Architecture.
Trent Koehler has been instrumental in securing donations of plywood for the stall construction and possibly 2″ x 8″ bench material.
The ‘Building Committee” for stall construction and renovations consists of Rod Gibson, Bucky Blandford, Al Wekerle, Brian Sinclair, and Kaz Pacholik. We will be asking for players to volunteer their time, for stall construction, as has been done in the past.
Harve Birns will coordinate the endeavour.
The deadline for permanent stall members to submit their $300 stall fee is November 15, 2023. Members on the stall waiting list, finalized by Mike Cebryk, may now submit their $300… e-transfers or checks are both expectable.

2023 Special General Meeting
Tuesday, June 20, 2023
Prior to the official start of the meeting Vice President Harve Birns spoke briefly about the reason for the meeting, the potential agreement with Schroh Arenas Ltd and motions that have been prepared for consideration by the membership.
President Ken Crump then called the meeting to order at 1:05 p.m.
In his opening remarks Ken indicated that there are over 260 players registered for our league and attendance at this meeting was over 150 members. This indicated a quorum to vote with respect to decisions at the meeting. Ken thanked everyone for the tremendous turnout to which there was a round of applause.
Vice President Birns walked through the proposed agreement (attached) clause by clause which was displayed on overhead. Following his presentation of this agreement the following motion was put on the floor
MOTION: Harve Birns
SECOND: George Wilson
“that the 60+ Hockey League offers and guarantees a $60,000 forgivable loan to Schroh Arena Ltd, subject to the conditions of the outlined written and signed agreement.”
With the motion on the floor members raised different questions and possible concerns as follows:
- Was it possible that we were overbuilding, wondering about whether all of the new stalls would be used. Once built all the new stall space would have to be maintained even though they might not be used.
Response: There are 180 players signed up for the fall of 2023 with strong indications of more players wanting to come to the 60+ Hockey League.
- Concerns about making sure that all of the proper cleaning considerations were/are being built into this proposal.
Response: There would be thoughtful discussions with anyone involved in proper cleaning to make sure that everything is being done right.
- A question was raised about the possibility that we might not be allowing for enough locker room space (ie do the demographics indicate maybe a high demand with interest from the 50+ league)…should we maybe be building a larger addition.
Several members then rose to speak in support of the current motion as it stands
At this point an amendment to the original motion was proposed as follows
MOTION FOR AMENDMENT: Richard Hoffer
SECOND: Cary Humphrey
“that the proposed agreement include the additional amount of $10,000 to allow for costs that might be incurred over the $60,000.”
DEFEATED
Following substantial discussion with respect to the amendment a vote was called for and the amendment was defeated.
THE ORIGINAL MOTION WAS THEN VOTED ON AND WAS:
CARRIED WITH NO RECORDED “NOT IN FAVOR” VOTES
MOTION: HARVE BIRNS
SECOND: CHARLES RENNY
“that the 60+ Hockey League adopts a one-time $300 fee for each active player who wishes to maintain or will obtain a permanent stall in the 60+ dressing room, subject to a declining refundable clause as outlined in the information package.”
CARRIED WITH NO RECORDED “NOT IN FAVOR” VOTES
Final comments from Harve Birns expressed appreciation for everyone who came out to this meeting and for all of the questions and concerns that we raised. All of the input is important.
Harve Birns moved the meeting be adjourned at 2 p.m.

CARHA. All players Must fill out CARHA insurance forms. if you play in another league a player must still fill out a 60+ CARHA insurance form but there is no additional cost to the player as long as the player has paid his or her CARHA fees in that league.

This will now result in a penalty (3 min. in a change on the fly game. Current shift plus one more shift in a whistle game ) Brian also commented on rough play which must stop. In our league there is no need to purposefully slash, crosscheck and use the boards in inappropriate ways.
No motion made. Info only
Communications Report delivered by Murray Taylor. Murray made mention of the league now having an alumni component to its directory. The alumni roster contains 20 inactive members. Murray informed the members that there are 300 members on the league mailing list. A continuing problem that haunts Murray is that people
requiring a substitute hockey player put a call out using Murray to do so via e-mail respondents send reply to Murray rather than the player requiring the sub player. REPLY TO THE PERSON REQUIRING THE SUB NOT TO MURRAY!!!!!! Info only no motion made.
AED/80+ induction info. delivered by Dave Hume. Dave informed the members that of this day (Nov. 17) there are no plans to hold AED training but if there is sufficient interest arrangements can be made. There is no charge for this training as cost is paid by 60+ hockey league. Dave also mentioned that there is a 3 year expiry date on the training. If you have had your AED training 3 years ago or longer the training should be renewed. 80+ Game andInduction. Dave informed members that the 80+ game and induction went well with very few HICKUPS. The game and subsequent induction ceremony and banquet were a financial and ceremonial
success. Saskatoon had 3 visiting inductees from various parts of Canada with all visitors quite taken by the hospitality shown by all envolved. Dave is still
in touch with other areas looking to host this type of event in their respective areas. Info. only no motion made.
Player Rosters and Scheduling info. provided by Ron Dagert. Ron discussed the reasons for going to an 8 week schedule rather than keeping the 4 week schedule we have been
using. the 8 week schedule enables the roster builders, new player signing, CARHA registration and stall assigning to be much easier with fewer problems
such as duplication of documents. Rosters are easier to create and maintain. The new 8 week format forced members to sign up to play rather than to
sign up for the sub list and then not play as needed by full time players. this was problematic at first but it was sorted out.
Game scheduling is now done by Claude Georget with help from Harv Birns as needed. Ron made it clear to members that he (Ron Dagert, Jim Greenshields and
Mike Chirpilo) are in charge of rosters and sub list while Claude Georget is responsible for schedules. Ron also discussed the sub list in so far as player
accepting a sub time and then not being able to fulfill that comitment. IT IS UP TO THE SUB WHO CANNOT FULFILL THAT SUB TIME TO FIND A SUB FOR
FOR HIMSELF!!!!! At this point there were some suggestions from the floor such as a number of designated sub for each team. These were not dealt with but will be
revisited at a future date. Info. only no motion made.
Website info. was provided by Phil MacIntyre and contained a request by Phil for an assistant incase Phil is not available to maintain website because of holidays or illness. Phil informed the members that the website is finished and is running well. Info. only no motion made.
Christmas party/golf tourney info. was presented by Harv Birns. The 60+ 2022 Christmas party to be held Dec. 15, 2022 at the WDM main ball room. Cocktails at 5:30 p.m. Supper served at 6:00 p.m. with program to begin at 7:00 p.m. there will be a live band, door prizes and fun to be had. The 60+ golf tourney will be held on June 15 2022
at the legends golf club in Warman Sask. Entry fee will be $80 per person including cart and lunch. Sign up sheets will go up in 60+ locker room in the new year.
Goalie report presented by Peter Rolston as guest speaker. Peter informed members that as of this date (Nov. 17) there are 21 goalies on our list with only 6 available any time.
At a recent goalie meeting held on Nov. 2 2022 it was decided by goalie vote that younger and newer goalies playing in our league be relegated to a sub
list in order to give established goalies in our league first choice as to game availability. Goalies switching ends to be decided by goalies playing in that game on a game
to game basis and not arranged until the day of that game. Reasons for switching could be lopsided score, fatigue or slight injury, etc. Goalies asked to fill in on the spur
of moment because of injury or a no show will not have to pay a sub fee for that game because of the unforeseen nature of the need for a goalie. All other
needs for goalies fall under sub guidelines of 60+ hockey league. Rick Kopek will take over Mike Rohatynsky’s duties on Jan 1, 2023. As of this writing Rick’s
have only partly finalized. Stay tuned for more info. to follow at a later date. Peter stated that any and all crease infractions should be vigorously enforced.
As an ongoing suggestion goalies would like to have each team warm up its own goalie rather than a free for all like we have now with players shooting at goalie. Finally goalies would like to see warnings given to players who constantly shoot HIGH. Info. only no motion.
Kamloops 2022 senior fitness games recap was reported by Chuck Hainsworth. Chuck delivered a heartfelt thankyou to 60+ league for its support of the teams that journeyed to Kamloops. Chuck informed members of the successes and some failures the teams endured but also how all Kamloops players handled the adversities with
grace and humour. Info. only no motion.
Presentations to Richard Koch and ED Sully for their devotion and hard work over the years in making Saskatoon 60+ hockey a better league. Richard’s hard work making up the league schedules for many years and for Ed Sully’s service on the 60+ executive for many many years will not be forgotten.
New Business was delivered by Ken McKnight. After the required question “is there any new business?” from the floor or the executive. There was no new business to dealt with.
Election of officers/nominations from the floor. Ken McKnight offered the question “nominations from the floor ” for new executive members. Non were forth coming. All executive were reinstalled by acclimation. New executive member nominated by Ken Crump internally will be Dennis Moore.
