BMHA discusses future of AA program
A new name, travelling concerns, competition level and zone sizes are top of discussion when it comes to the future of the AA hockey program for the Battlefords Minor Hockey Association (BMHA).
Roughly 40 representatives from the local area along with Meadow Lake, Turtleford, Edam, Spiritwood and others attended the meeting at the Don Ross Centre last night.
One underlying problem discussed in great detail was the size of the zone which represents AA hockey in the BMHA contains 23 communities. The main issue with that, parents say, is its become a long car ride for many who want to play within that level. Thirty-one players are from North Battleford or Battleford, while the remaining 36 come from outside the area.
