Be a volunteer! Thank a volunteer! The more involvement we have, the stronger our Association is and the better the hockey experience will be for players and parents alike. We encourage you to take an active role in the Association by volunteering for one of the many positions it takes to make it happen and we thank you if you have already done that.

Making it Fun

Participating in minor hockey as a player and as a volunteer should be a positive and rewarding experience.   Volunteers provide an opportunity for a safe environment for players to grow up together, become fit together and learn the importance of partnership and teamwork.  Hockey is not only a sport but a winter social life volunteering makes you a bigger part of it.
