Election /A new beginning
As the 2011/2012 season comes to a close, I would like to take a minute to thank all of the parents from the I-program. And offer a special note thanks to Coach Marcus Norwood also. The kids involved in the I-program are the future of the Detroit Hockey Association and if their parents continue to be so supportive,the DHA will be in good hands in the future.
However, as a returning coach and a former board member, I have to admit to being unhappy with the number of players involved with our teams. And I wonder every day, why we didn't follow through with our recruiting plans from last Summer. This is water under the bridge now,and the future of hockey at Jack Adams arena will now rest in the hands of those who will vote for new board members this year.
I truly hope that an election takes place,and the torch is passed to a new generation,with new ideas, who will keep Hockey going strong at Jack Adams for years to come. Please take time to review the DHA Bylaws (link) to learn more about the open DHA board positions.
