Denise Hinton made a motion seconded by Jim Cassibo to approve the March 8 th, 2009 Board Minutes, the motion passed unanimously. Treasurers Report Jim Cassibo reporting Jim presented the Key Financial Metrics and reviewed current OMGHA operations. OMGHA has a current COH of approximately $743,000, which is typical for this time of the year. Jim presented the Board with a review of the Slap Shop and Concessions activity. The concessions stand had gross revenues of $51,500 vs. $65,800 the previous year. Difference is likely a result of moving tournaments and the economy. Slap Shop had year ending revenue of $10,000. Jim also discussed his interest in changing OMGHA auditors, BPK&Z has been our auditor for a number of years, and their annual fees continue to increase. Jim has been in discussion with our current gambling auditor and plans to bring a proposal to our next board meeting. Charitable Gaming Report Denise Hinton reporting Denise Hinton provided the Board with our Charitable Gaming update. Todd Hill made a motion to approve the anticipated expenses for April and May to overcome issues regarding our April meeting being rescheduled for March, Joe Shouts seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

OMGHA Committee Reports OMGHA TRAVELING REPORT 3 teams from the boy s side went to state. Bantam A, Peewee B1 and Jr. Gold. Setting up coaches exit interviews in the coming weeks Have coaches appreciation dinner set for April 1 st. Working on filling open traveling director positions for the new board. GIRLS TRAVELING REPORT JUNIOR GOLD REPORT Jr Gold B White participated in the State Tournament March 20-22. We lost the opening game to Lakeville, who was the eventual State Champion and we lost our consolation game to Edina, who was the Consolation Champion. Two very well played games but it s always tough to go 0-2. OMG Saints black away jersey s are being collected and will be turned in April 4 th. 2009-2010 Jr Gold Golf Tournament Planning Committee is being assembled to start the planning process for the 7 th annual Jr Gold-U19 Golf Tournament. HOUSE PROGRAM REPORT Mite Night was very successful. Chuck-a-puck raised nearly $600, the photographer and hat designer will also be providing OMGHA with a portion of their proceeds. C-LEAGUE REPORT DISTRICT THREE REPORT BOOSTER REPORT ACE REPORT EQUIPMENT REPORT REGISTRAR S REPORT SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT REPORT Scholastic Achievement scheduled for 4/21 at 7 p.m. Donations for camp scholarships and prizes are coming in slowly many camps are asking for our mailing list as they have in the past, based on the process we used with the high school STP program this season I will be offering to send a piece to our managers to be shared with their teams, rather than giving out our list. OMGHA will also mail at supporters cost any information. OMGHA historically donates 6 or so scholarships for the Fall Tryout Camp. Point for discussion, if there is the possibility that we will enlist Euro American to run the camp how will this impact those scholarships, if at all. I am working with Kathy Clark to get some leftover items from the Slap Shop for prizes. She has primarily Osseo items, so I will ask for donations or discounts from Dave's and All-Star to supplement with Maple Grove items. We are asking for $750 from Charitable gambling to cover the costs of the movie tickets for the 4.0 achievers. The extra tickets are given out in prize packs at the end of the event prize drawings. The player applications for the program are rolling in; we are continuing to pursue a speaker, and prize/scholarship donations. We will again have a picture video and a special awards presentation for our 4.0 achievers the night of the event. There are several opportunities available to assist with the program, before the program and the night of the event. These opportunities have been offered to those that have not yet completed their volunteer hours. This week they will be offered to others in the association. If you are free that evening and wish to help, or attend the event we would love to have you! Thanks to the OMGHA Board for your continued support of this worthwhile program, we certainly could not continue it with all of you. PERSONAL FUNDRAISING REPORT 2

Financial Assistance/Personal Fund-Raising Program The OMGHA Financial Assistance/Personal Fund-Raising Program has generated a record $28,054 in vouchers for use by OMGHA families during the 2008-09 hockey season (see attached report). Voucher credits have been provided to OMGHA families working at the Maple Grove Community Center Ice Arena concessions, as opening/closing staff at the Osseo Arena and Osseo Arena Slap Shop, as well as those individuals who participate in the Food Perspectives program. Sponsorship OMGHA Community Development has had preliminary discussions with Prime Advertising in Maple Grove for the purpose of assisting the association in the following areas of association sponsorship: Association Packages (i.e. signage, web site, advertising, overall support). Special Event Packages (i.e. tournaments, spring gala). Program Packages (i.e. financial assistance, spring league). Individual Team Packages Osseo Arena Signage Packages (wall signs & dash boards) Tournament Program Display Advertising & Restaurant Coupon Packet Prime Advertising currently sells dasher board, wall and electronic signage packages for the Maple Grove Ice Arena and has the networking capabilities that could help build on current organizational contacts. A second meeting is being planned in late April, with the hope of making a presentation to the newly-elected executive committee and/or board of directors at the May 17 th meeting. Fund-Raising In addition to sponsorship and advertising, OMGHA conducted other fund-raising activities during 2008-09 that benefited the association and OMGHA families. Tournaments The three OMGHA Winter Face-Off Classic tournament silent auction events generated $2,086. All Bantam, Pee Wee and Squirt teams participated and contributed silent auction/team basket items to this activity. Mite/Super Mite Jamboree It is estimated that the silent auction conducted during the Mite/Super Mite Jamboree on March 21-22 at the Osseo Arena raised more than $1,200. OMGHA Spring Gala The 2009 OMGHA Spring Gala more than doubled its fund-raising totals from 2008. Over 300 people attended this year s event, held at the Rush Creek Golf Club on March 21. OMGHA Community Development wants to thank Gaye Dean, Fiona LaPoint and Jocelyn Toyne for their time and commitment in coordinating activities for the Spring Gala. Thanks also goes to all of the coordinators and monitors that assisted with the tournament and jamboree silent auction events throughout the year.

Members of the committee identified the changes to the Board structure as the following creation of an (8) member Youth traveling committee which will cover A, B & C traveling teams, a guaranteed Osseo and Maple Grove Vice President, the elimination of a specific C-program director, the addition of a Girl s traveling director and the elevation of the D3 Rep. to the Executive Committee. The Committee is also recommending the elimination of one equipment manager position and a requirement that the Ace Director not be allowed to serve as either a Head or Assistant Coach in OMGHA.
