There still may be an opportunity to generate extra revenue through ice sales by selling ice time to the Becker/Big Lake Youth Hockey Association as well as to the Becker/Big Lake High School Hockey team. Becker/Big Lake Youth Hockey has been looking for two hours of consistent ice time for their Mite program. The ice time that would be used would be on weekends somewhere between 9:00 a. m. and 1:00 p.m. The Becker/Big Lake High School Team may be looking for some practice ice time during the week and to host a few of their games either on weekdays or weekends. They are currently skating at the Monticello Arena between 10:00 p.m. - and 10:30 p.m. Between the two Arena's they are hoping to get earlier ice times so that their players can get home before midnight. The ice time for their practice could come from the 9:20 p.m. / 9:40 p.m. hours during the week or from the time slots when either one of the Elk River High School teams are playing away. Their games would take two hours to play, if we would get five of their home games (half) it would amount to ten hours of ice time. For these ten hours of ice we would generate about an additional $600.00 in revenue from contracting the ice for a high school game rather than selling it per hour and would increase sales in the concession stand. This may lead to Elk River Youth Hockey using some later ice during the week when there is an extra game schedule, however I believe the impact on the Association would be minimum. 11. Zamboni Advertising We have an advertiser for the second Zamboni, Global Mechanical. We agreed on a five year contract worth $2,700.00 each year for the advertising on the Zamboni as well for an ad on the boards. The agreement has the company paying for the production and the installation of the advertising vinyl, while the cost for the transportation of the Zamboni to and from the installer of the vinyl will be split by both parties. The contract will begin in 2010 and will run through 2014. 12. Staff Updates A.

Clinics /leagues /Skating Academy /Annual Ice Show Attached for your review is a graph outlining the enrollment for the Break Away Hockey League. The spring session has sustained over 400 participants over the years, while the fall league has leveled off to about 200 participants. Typically the fall session participation will be lower due to the fact that in the spring a lot of the spring sports have not started, while in the fall the fall sports are still in session resulting in less participation in the fall session.
