Thanks Scarface, always glad to hear there are people willing to listen.

Together with BUWH (Romain), I am planning on organizing a European summit about the things we want from CMAS.
Of course, this will also be presented to the other countries, but getting the Europeans together is currently much easier.

It shouldn't immediately be seen as a "take it or leave it" proposal towards CMAS. It should show we have a united front and also show our federation presidents we are serious.

If I'm not mistaken, hockey is represented in 34 countries, which means that we should easily get the support of 34 presidents in the annual meeting if we play our cards right. If everybody says the same. And if all presidents that represent hockey say the same thing, the others will assume it must be so.
Maybe I am naive, and yes Carol, I know you will agree to it, but at least we would have a collective attempt.

Speaking from a PR/Communications point of view, CMAS Games is the best way to get our sport international exposure. On the condition that we don't have a media idiot running the comms, like was the case this year.
