At every board meeting there is a handout of the organization's finances, including balances, balance compared to last year, and recent income/expense. I think it's there for anyone, but you might call Wilbur Hallman, our treasurer if you have a question or want to see it.

We're down quite a bit from last year, mostly due to giving our teams two practices a week and a practice and a half price! I'm proud that we pay $500 or so and have two practices on most weeks when other organizations charge twice as much and have "shared practices" with two teams on the ice. The top teams from NJ, NY, etc that we play in Districts and tournaments charge well over $1000, the NJ Rockets that we beat in Districts last year cost $2600 per year to play for and the Chicago team that my Squirts beat last week in Canada at the Silver Stick tourament charge over $1500, same amount of ice as us. Most AA teams charge $1500-2000 and I think we have comparable or better coaching, managing and talent.
