The MSGL Spring meeting was held Saturday, May 16th.  It was nice to see the great
turnout from all of the member associations.  We appreciate the time and expense it
takes for many of members to travel the distance to Denver.  

Below is a brief summary of the highlights of the meeting.  The meeting minutes will be posted on the website very soon. Please refer to them for a detailed summary of the meeting.  In this meeting we addressed a number of By Law changes:

• Pointstreak - This change requires associations to use the Pointstreak scoring system for all games (either terminal or web) rather that submitting scoresheets.  This was a language change that reflect the current practice of our teams and to improve the availability of game statistics.  It was approved.
• Director of Communication Roles - The responsibility for managing team rosters was moved from the Secretary to the Director of Communications.  This change improves our efficiency of process.  It was approved.
• No More than 2 directors per Association -  We currently have three board members from the same association.  Each were from different associations when they were elected.  It was acknowledged that with the movement of girls between associations that this situation may occur.  The membership agreed that this situation (3 members from same association) was acceptable.  It was noted that the membership could request a recall if this type of situation was ever determined to be unfair.  It was voted to completely remove the by-law that states no more than 2 board members can be from 1 association. Therefore no restriction on board member associations exists any longer.
• AA and A divisions - This proposal created a AA division for tier II teams (if numbers warranted).   The intention is keep to tier II in our league and provide a place for ALL non-tier I players to play.  This would expand our ability to provide a wide range of competition for girls hockey.  It was approved.
• Board Experience Requirement  for President - This proposal requires that any candidate for board president have served as a officer.  This was submitted to insure continuity.  It was approved.
