Dear Mr. Lakina

Re: Port Coquitiam Bantam Hockey Tournament
March 26 to April 3, 1988
The Bantam Tournament Committee in cooperation with the Minor Hockey
Association is prepared to organize and run a hockey tournament for bantam
aged boys which would enhance and help celebrate the 75th Birthday of the
City of Port Coquitlam, in 1988. ~

It would be our intention to organize a tournamest which would have
included in it International hockey teams. In order that we may encourage
these international teams we must know what our limits are and what type
of scheduling we may be able to organize such that it becomes attractive
far teams from Japan, Australia and Western Europe. -~

In order that these plans may be made we must first have a commitment from
the City with respect to the arena complex. We would require the entire
arena complex from Saturday, March 26, 1988 to and including Sunday April 3,
1988. If we are successful in securing the necessary assurances it would be our
intention to approach the City of Port Moody for use of their arena for part
of this time as we invisage arranatag a tournament schedule which would
accomodate sixty-four teams, in four divisions, with the presidents division
being showcased at the Port Coquitlam arena complex.

We, the tournament committee would request that we be aranted use of
the Arena complex on the aforementioned dates and that if you require further
information that a meeting be arranged at which time we would be prepared
to present a more detailed and comprehensive plan. We would request that
this commitment be delt with quickly as you may appreciate, we must contact
these international teams now for commitments to our Zournament An 1988.
