-continue to have practices and home games in
Norwich
-continue to have small teams in age groups when
there are Rep teams in Norwich
-Local League teams continue to struggle against teams
in other centres that have larger and more skilled teams (many other teams
are becoming more competitive after their amalgamations, which has left our
teams struggling to compete)
-as there are less Rep teams in Norwich and those
players go elsewhere to seek Rep teams, less registrants in the organization will
likely result in costs going up for families to continue to support the costs
of hockey in Norwich with lesser players and families to spread it across
-continue to be a Norwich Knighthawk
-continue to play in the Intertown Local League
-continue to struggle for volunteers to run our
programs
-can AP to Rep teams within Norwich, but when there
are no Rep teams in Norwich in various
age groups then there is no opportunity to AP to Rep teams
-a fully “Norwich” Board of Directors
-less certainty about what teams we will be icing
each
season, making it difficult to recruit coaches in
advance

-lack of registrants to have Representative teams in
all age groups (we have had to fold teams in various age groups over the last
few years including two this season, and the number projections for next
season looks even more bleak)
-continue to have practices and home games in
Norwich
-continue to be a Norwich Knighthawk for the teams
that we can ice a Rep team
-continue to fold Rep teams where there are not
enough registrants and players take 3.5 releases to play in other centres
-as there are less Rep teams in Norwich and those
players go elsewhere to seek Rep teams, less registrants likely will result
in costs going up for families to continue to support the costs of hockey in
Norwich with lesser players and families to spread it across
-a wide range of skill level on teams
-continue to play in Southern Counties, hopefully
against Tier 2/3 teams (D centres like us, or second entry
teams where we fit better skill wise), but as less and less Tier
2/3 teams are available due to the changing landscape of hockey
around us, likely having to play above our skill level
against Tier 1 teams
-continue to struggle for volunteers to run our
programs
-players continue to be able to try out for “A”
hockey as an NRP
-a fully “Norwich” Board of Directors
-less certainty about what teams we will be icing
each season, making it difficult to recruit coaches in
advance
