To -date there are 420 participants currently registered to participate in AHYHA for the 2016-2017 season. The total number of ice hours AHYHA will be using for the season is 1,356 hours. 785 hours have been secured at the Andover Community Center Ice Arena, 538 hours at the Super Rink and 33 hours at the East Bethel Ice Arena. Due to player demand and ice availability, AHYHA had to eliminate 2 teams this year and increase the number of players on rosters. The AHYHA will be participating in a high intensity program at the Super Rink throughout the season. This program will allow more players to be out on the ice at once, helping to give players more ice time. Changes for the Mite programs this year will include limiting the number of games to 6 and with games being played after January ls` only. This will allow the other AHYHA teams more ice availability. Frank asked Erick how many hours would be needed to sell to make another rink feasible. Erick estimated around 2,000. YMCA Update — Allison shared that 1,400 youth participated in Camp Guy Robinson. Between the Andover YMCA Community Center and Riverdale church, 450 youth participated in youth sports. Fall sports sessions started today and will run for the next 7 weeks. Allison sated that the capital campaign fundraising goal for 2017 is $125,000. Allison reported that $250,000 was given back to the community through scholarships, swim lessons, etc. Annual golf tournament will be held September 22 — 120 golfers are currently registered to participate. 128 memberships were sold in September and the goal for October is 200+. 45,000 member visits occurred in August. Corporate assessment has been completed. The YMCA should be receiving information soon. Allison will share with commission once the information becomes available. ACC Update — Erick reviewed items on staff status report. QCTV recorded the ice -out process and staff will send out to commission to view.
