Commissioner’s Report Bob Doherty informed the board of the following:
Bob Doherty spoke about the Bantam A issue and the socal-hockey board and stated that while we all make mistakes; it is how these mistakes are handled that count. Issues such as these should always be metered through the club presidents and not a hockey forum board where people post opinions anonymously without any regards to the truth and/or consequences of their statements. The matter was resolved with the best information that was available at that time.
