It sounds like Monticello is close to building a rink this spring. I'm not sure of all the logistics, however it sounds like it's a joint effort between the School District, City, and the Youth Hockey Association. Becker Big Lake High School may move their program from Elk River to Monticello, however it's too soon to tell. If Becker Big Lake were to move their program, it would open up about 80 hours of ice for existing customers to use. It sounds like both Roger's High school programs will have a junior varsity program next year. The boys are requesting an additional hour of practice each night; this would give them a two-hour block. The girls are requesting an additional half hour; this would give them an hour and a half practice. Adding these hours to an already tight ice schedule will be next to impossible without depleting hours from other customers. However if Becker Big Lake does leave for Monticello, these added hour will be much more manageable. The Volunteer Recognition Dinner is set for April 22, 2004 at the Riverwood Inn and Conference Center. You will be receiving a formal invitation for the dinner in March. The next Arena Commission meeting is scheduled for Tuesday April 6, 2004. If you have any items of importance that should be discussed at the meeting, please contact me so that they can be put on the agenda. I would like to say Thanks to Dave Halgren for the framed prints of past Elk River Youth Hockey teams. The prims are up along the west wall of the Olympic rink. Take a minute to stop by the rink to look at them; I believe you will find them interesting, if not amusing.
