Dear
Athletic Directors,
Congratulations to those of you who have
worked together with the ADs' of the Badger Conference to make Girls' Hockey
league a reality within the Badger Conference. With the development of this new
sport within the Badger Conference there are some costs that have to be shared
with the new schools that will be participating within the Badger. $300 will be
charged to all non - conference schools. This payment will cover all
administrative costs as well as conference trophies and all - conference
awards. This fee is charged to the host school of the coop schools Involved in
the coop and will prorate the payment to the host school. An invoice will be
sent to your athletic department. If you have any questions or concerns, feel
free to call or write me.
Have a great day. I look forward to
watching the growth of girls' hockey in the Badger Conference and in Wisconsin.
Sincerely
yours,
Tom
