Donate $1,000 to Centennial A- Bantam Hockey Team
to Compete in National Championship Games in
Philadelphia
3/5
On March 18, 2001, the Centennial A- Bantam Hockey team won the State Championship
in Willmar, MN. The team includes 17 eighth and ninth grade students, 14 of whom live
in Lino Lakes. The team is now eligible to compete in the National Championship games
in Philadelphia, PA the week of April 4 -8. The cost of travel and lodging for the team is
estimated to be $20,000. Parents and coaches are seeking donations to defray the costs.
Because this is the first time a Centennial hockey team has been eligible to compete in a
national championship and the time to raise travel funds is very limited, the City Council
indicated at its March 21, 2001, work session, a desire to donate $1,000 to the team.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution 01 -51, donating $1,000 from the Mayor and Council's City
Marketing budget to the Centennial A -Bantam Hockey team to help defray
expenses related to competing in the National Finals in April 2001.
2. Decline to approve Resolution 01 -51.
3. Return to staff for further review and/or action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option #1: Adopt Resolution 01 -51 donating $1,000 from the Mayor and Council's City
Marketing budget to the Centennial A -Bantam Hockey team to help defray expenses
related to competing in the National Finals in April 2001.
