MESSAGE TO D LEAGUE PARTICIPANTS

1.   The decision:    Effective Tuesday 11 March, development league will be run from 5.30 to 6.30pm.  The charge for this one hour will be $10.  At the end of the 2008 playing season (September) our expectation is that we will revert to a two hour development league session.  We remain fully committed to providing a worthwhile and valuable on-ice experience for all development leaguers and if any are concerned that the one hour session may not meet their needs they are invited to discuss it with a team coach because, depending on skill level, it may be possible to accommodate some additional people into regular team training.

2.   Rationale:   With training of contact teams during 6.30 to 7.30pm, there is a safety concern for development league participants, many of whom are not wearing full kit.  The Atoms and Peewees teams which train from 5.30 to 6.30pm are non-contact and they are not practicing slap shots, so there is more compatibility with development league during that hour.

3.   Our commitment:   We are absolutely committed to the success of the Bears.   That means balancing the needs and safety of our development league (which is where the Club's future rests in part) with the training needs of our teams and players.  We believe that the decision we have taken achieves the right overall balance.

Any questions please contact Bronwyn McFadden on 0407 071 665.
