At the League’s annual meeting, Mark Henderson, nominated Don Martin as his replacement as League Commissioner.  The board approved Don’s appointment unanimously and Don will assume the Commissioner responsibilities in March 2008.  Mark Henderson will continue in the role of League President, a role he has held along with the Commissioner’s role for the last three years.  Don is currently the League’s Treasurer/Secretary and will continue in this role until a replacement is found.  The league is excited about the leadership, energy and experience that Don will provide and greatly appreciates the service Mark has provided over the last three years.

About Don Martin:

Hockey experience:  Don began playing ice hockey as a 9 year old with the pee wee hockey program sponsored by the N.Y. Rangers in New York City. He has been a fan and player ever since. Don considers himself fortunate to have played for BU in ’57-’58, “just before they raised their standards.”  While on the faculty at UVA, he started the school’s first club hockey program that operated between 1973 and 1977. At that time, they played teams from NCSU, U. Maryland, Wake Forest, Duke, George Washington and the Chesapeake league. After that, UVA hockey disappeared until its modern rebirth in 1995. Don has played with adult hockey clubs in international tournaments in Iceland, Holland, Canada, and the Czech Republic.  He has also coached pee wee hockey locally with Montgomery County MD. Don continues to play pick-up and is in an adult hockey league at the Gardens Ice House, in Laurel MD.
