Whitby Free Press. Wedriesday. May,5, 1993, Page 27 iiiiMHocky r e gastraf~1i1 ou '.]ITol iicyfutrates parent~,i To the editor I am writing this letter out of sheer frustration and irritation. I have an 8-year-old who would dearl , love ta play hockey in This spg I kept my ears peeled for any word of regitration and heard from a Prend whose sons now plays that it would be April 17, 9 a.în. Later I discovered it was for registered players only. With this information in mnd I spoke ta, several parents and a coach of a Whitby teani who told me if I was at registration on April 17, they (the association) would probably allow me ta regfister. I went down ta, Iroquois Park at 6 a.m. and waited until approximately 8:45 a.m. when sign-up started. When I reached the registration table, the gentleman infornied me I couid not register xny son until Augrust. When I questioned him and the others about this I was informed -thiat it was the policy and that was that. I asked if there would be any room left by August because I know of 0O plus waiting list last year and was told registration would probably only be two-thirds full. The parents and coach ta whom I spoke earlier were al srrsed as the didn't expect I wudbe derxd'eoes and they didn't know of this policy. Later we called Dennis Fox, the councillor ifor my ward. He told my husband that the Town had no control over the hockey association because they were volunteers but he would make some inquiries and eall us baek. There was no returra calI (I hope he doesn't expect my vote next election). We have been residents of Whitby for 16 years. I have lined up for basebail, swimtning and soccer for many yenrs. I expecli te line up and I am willing ta. I have no delusions of my soin being an NHL star, ail I want is an equal opportunity for him and the $4,000 a year taxes I pay.
