New to hockey?  Check out our New Hockey Parent Handbook.


Fundraising and Volunteering

Fundraising is the key to keep the cost of hockey down for you and all our members!

If it weren’t for you and all our members putting your time and dedication into raising thousands of dollars for our Association we wouldn’t have the players in our organization experiencing such a fun sport. We appreciate having our members participate in fundraising to help keep the cost of hockey down for all.

Volunteering helps our association greatly and is key to making a lot of things possible for our players.

Our Association depends on parents to volunteer their time in order to keep hockey available in our community and at an affordable price so everyone can play.

Please visit our Volunteer page for ways to fulfill your volunteer hours and our Dibs page for volunteer opportunities during the year.

Looking for other ways to help visit our Committees Page to find open positions.

Association Calendar

Find the dates and times of Association events, team practices and games once they are scheduled on our Association Calendar Page. It is always important to check the website calendar frequently as there are many different factors that cause schedules to change throughout the season.


BAD WEATHER POLICY

In the event of inclement weather, the association President, based on feedback from the Board will make a final decision to hold practice.  This decision will be made prior to 4:00pm on weekdays and 3 hours prior to events on weekends.  Members will be notified via email.  In all cases where weather is a concern, families should make the ultimate decision in the best interest of their safety.  If a player does not participate due to weather conditions, these players will not be subject to team sanctions.


Keeping track of your child’s sports schedules can be a full-time job.

The SportsEngine mobile App is a useful tool for communication and viewing your player(s) schedule.

Your team may decide to use the SportsEngine App for communications.  Please talk with your coach and team coordinator about their preferred contact method.
