Since it is a, stubbornly put, "done deal" why has it not been officially announced that we are out of CMAS and moving on to this new organization with a new name for the sport? USOA, our US governing body has not made the announcement so as far as I am concerned it is not done. And as a member of the US Underwater Hockey Executive Committee, I can assure you and all others that it has never been discussed or approved by the US.

As far as knocking myself out, well, okay. I will begin by announcing it to all I know that this is a done deal according to the World Hockey Commission. I will check with Carol Rose, President of USOA, to see what her input has been and what she has or has not agreed upon. I suspect there will be resisitence to the name change amoungst many if not nearly all from the US. Having kept quiet on the subject, due to possible changes in various situations affecting outcomes of lawsuits, meetings, boards, etc., I do not know for sure what the resistence will be, but I suppose I will find out shortly, now that it is “done”.

I truly wonder who will blindly follow a group that has done this under the cloak of secrecy. If the decision has been made, announce it. If it is “done” as you say, what’s the hold up?
