Doucet For the Chronicle â€"2733 Then they started quesâ€" tioning SWO‘s registration fees, and asked them to decrease the price; despite the fact the SWO took on an office, which meant higher overhead costs. Brown said problems started to evolve between the two sides when the OBHA asked SWO to lock into a 10â€" year contract with the provincial organization, and SWO refused. Game 2 Game 4 Game 6 "I‘m not going to sit here and bash (the OBHA): 1 have no reason too. I guess they have their own agenda and that‘s fine. But our program is there to give something to the kids and give them an opportunity to play ball hockey. They aren‘t interestâ€" ed in all the politics involved, so we‘ll give them that opportunity with or without the OBHA." "We‘ve found an insurâ€" ance company to take us on, so it will be business as usual. Really, the only thing OBHA offers us is insurance and a chance to go to provincials. The provincials only affects 10 per cent of the kids anyâ€" way, so we‘ll just run a tourâ€" nament between teams from Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge instead. vs. CAMBRIDGE "It‘s unfortunate what happened, but we will conâ€" tinue operating," Brown said. Fhat led to the suspenâ€" sion by the OBHA. But SWO director Clayton Brown said his group will still run their league independently, with the only setback being that they have to pay for their own league insurance.

He said that SWO probably made $16,000 off the players going to the Ontario champiâ€" onships last year. Waterlioo Siskins Jr ‘B‘ Hockey Club Plus, SWO was receiving a nonâ€"profit arena rate of $22 in Waterloo before they were asked to produce financials to the city to keep their nonâ€" profit status. They didn‘t aeet the deadline. The city revoked its partnership with SWO for the preferred rates and its ability to apply for grants. What they found was that signâ€"up fees increased from $129 in 2004 to $139 last year, to $188 this year, without anything new being offered to the players. "We have people who have been involved with ball hockey for 20 years. We know how much it costs to run a league." director and president of the OBHA, paints a different picâ€" ture of the recent troubles with SWO). While he admitted SWO) was a threeâ€"year pilot proâ€" ject. beginning in 2004, and that he hadn‘t had any trouâ€" ble from them in the past, recent complaints by parents in Kitchener and Waterloo about registration hikes caused the OBHA to investiâ€" gate the group. â€" Mauro Gugini President of the Ontario Ball Hockey Association "We have one organizaâ€" tion that‘s ready to go, but we don‘t know which way it‘s headed. We‘ve requested that both groups send us as much information as possiâ€" ble, then we‘ll decide which direction to take." "Until we look at all the information, I don‘t have an answer (of whether they will be allowed to rent time or not). "We‘re collecting all the information about what‘s happened,"said Dave Brisâ€" son, Cambridge‘s director of arenas and halls. Triâ€"Cities has also asked for floor time in Cambridge. While SWO contends they will still operate this spring, the City of Cambridge said they haven‘t rented any floor time to the group and are looking into the allegations brought against them. To replace SWO, Cugini said the OBA has creared the Triâ€"Cities Ball Hockey Association to serve players age five to 17 from Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge. "We have people who have been involved with ball hockey for 20 years." said Cugini. "We know how much it costs to run a leagne." Cugini said the most alarming problem was the $50 hike in registration fees. He said the highest registraâ€" tion fee he knows of was S$149 in Toronto, but they pay $92 an hour for floor rental. "But when we got a reply that they were going to bring an attorney, it was obvious that they weren‘t willing to work with us. They just wantâ€" ed to salvage their nonâ€"profit status."" "We wanted to straighten our relationship out with them, because prior to this, they had been a model orgaâ€" nization in our eyes" Cugini said. "So we had no interest to suspend them until after we talked to them. The capper was when SWO was supposed to hold an annual general meeting last year in October or November for its memberâ€" ship. in keeping with the constitution of a nonâ€"profit group. It failed to do so. "When you put everyâ€" thing together, we had no choice but to suspend them," Cugini said, adding that he asked to meet with Brown and his partner, Phil Kaufâ€" man, but said the two stalled and wanted a lawyer present.
