Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario

A Division of the Ontario Hockey Federation and the Canadian Hockey Association

MEMORANDUM 

Date:                    February 9, 2001

From:                   Jim Liabotis

 

RE:                         BladeNET Communications Inc.

 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

I am president of the Minor Hockey Alliance of Ontario, one the Member Partners of the Ontario Hockey Federation. We were invited to participate in a Pilot project being conducted by BladeNET Communications Inc. on behalf of the Canadian Hockey Association last autumn. While timing did not allow us to fully utilize BladeNET's on-line registration system, we did fully utilize the on-line scores, standings and scheduling system that BladeNET made available to our competitive (non-House League) divisions as an adjunct to the Pilot. 

Our General Manager, Jason Bonnyman, had virtually day-to-day contact with BladeNET and he can give the best account of the functionality and service levels provided by the BladeNET.  I can say on my own behalf that it was reassuring to be able to put such an important part of our services in the hands of people who are experts in both hockey administration and technology and upon whose integrity, dedication and reputations we could rely without the slightest hesitation.
 

I can also attest to the satisfaction levels of our 21 centres and the extent to which BladeNET helped us improve the services that we provide to our member organizations. The introduction of BladeNET's on-line scores, standings and scheduling system was probably the highlight of our year.

 

Our Executives and our members would dearly love to utilize the balance of BladeNET products and we give them and their service our unqualified support.

         

Yours very truly,

Jim Liabotis
President
