Meeting Minutes
By Peggy Johnson
The May meeting of the Wilkes-Barre Scranton
Penguins Booster Club was held on May 19, 2010, at
the Quality Inn. There were 25 members in attendance,
a low number due to the fact that there was a playoff
game that night between Pittsburgh and Montreal.
Board of Directors 2009-2010
Vice President RoseAnn Foy started the meeting
until the arrival of President Vicki Silva. Vicki
expressed her disappointment that the playoff run is
over for the team, but is still rooting for the Big Pens.
It’ll be a long summer until the games resume in the
fall.
President Vicki Silva
Vice President RoseAnn Foy
Recording Secretary Peggy Johnson
Our playoff trips were short this season. Twenty
five Road Warriors made the trip to Albany for a
playoff game and were again treated to goodies and
drinks for the bus from the Albany River Rats Booster
Club. This was our last visit there, as next season the
Albany franchise is moving to Charlotte, N.C. We’ll be
looking forward to a trip to a new venue. Let’s hope
that next year’s schedule allows us a visit on a
weekend.

Our speaker for the evening was
Kevin Mattern, the coach of the
Wyoming Valley West hockey team.
Kevin was a very informative
speaker, giving us an insight of the
Northeast Pennsylvania Scholastic
Hockey program that encompasses
the 8 local teams plus Wyoming
Seminary, the Poconos, BentonMillville, Sunbury, and
President of the Northeast Hockey
organization accompanied Kevin.
Kevin started just like any father
would when their son wants to play
hockey. He learned hockey from the
bottom and is now a Level 4 coach.
Kevin also started learning about
hockey when he accompanied his
mother to games and Booster Club
meetings when the Penguins first
arrived here. Kevin covered so many
areas that it is impossible for me to
write about everything that he talked
about. We thank Kevin for informing
the Booster Club about the local
hockey teams that are for the youth of
the area.
