Suffern got that schedule because John Orlando is the Section 1 chairman and he will always let suffern do whatever they want.

Shame,
I’m not sure what vote you’re referring to. The vote by all schools to move into four geography-based conferences for every sport but football was something like 70-15.
Then the hockey ADs met to decide whether to ask the athletic counsel — which actually has the power to change things — to leave hockey alone. I don’t have the exact number, but it was voted down “a lot to a little” according to John Orlando.
So to answer your question, every AD was at the meeting, and the vast majority approved the system that will be used next year.

Agreed this was done to save money. However, teams like RTH and Rye will have their budgets exceeded by having to take longer bus rides to Brewster more often. Those time slots are usually Friday – Saturday night slots and late. Means more overtime. If they are an early time slot it means leaving school early. There was zero thought put into this. I would like to know and see (Harold can you get this? Which ADs voted for this system? And, who was at this meeting that allowed the conf to be different). Harold can you please post that.
