Midget17 AA Game Times

We've received a request from one of our Midget17 AA teams to have the game time increased (in that division) from the current 12 minute periods. Our bylaws currently state that longer periods are acceptable as long as BOTH coaches are in agreement prior to the start of the game. I've received some preliminary feedback and it appears there is some support out there to do this. My intention at this point is to get the teams to accept the longer periods BEFORE THE SCHEDULING MEETING so all teams can schedule the appropriate ice time. The purpose of this message is to give notice to those teams and get a response specifically from those involved; I'd like to know the following:

1. Would you be in favor of longer periods and would you be able to secure the necessary ice time?
2. If so, how long? 14, 15 and 17 minutes have all been proposed.
3. Some teams are considering the addition of an ice cut between the 2nd and 3rd period. Would that be a possibility for your team?
