VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT CHEQUES

We rely on volunteers to run our hockey program. These volunteers include Coaches, Team Managers, Evaluators, Board Members, Bingo/Casino workers and General Volunteers. The volunteer commitment is determined by the category in which each player plays. Refer to the Volunteer Commitment Policy for the number of commitments required and the volunteer commitment opportunities.

Volunteer Commitment cheques will be collected at your child’s first evaluation.

ALLTimbits and Midget families must bring one post-dated cheque for $250 for each player commitment. This cheque should be dated February 15, 2021.

ALL Novice, Atom , Pee Wee and Bantam families must bring two post-dated cheques, each for $250, both cheques should be dated for February 15, 2021. The cheques will be destroyed (or returned if requested) once the volunteer commitments have been completed or will be cashed should the commitment(s) not be fulfilled. Remember no volunteer cheques at the first evaluation/ice session will mean no evaluation/ice time for your kid(s)!

Families who have paid the optional volunteer commitment during the registration process they are not required to provide a post dated cheque(s).  Should families complete the required volunteer commitment, all monies will be refunded back to family.

Remember to bring your commitment cheques to the first evaluation session  - **No volunteer commitment cheques   = no ice time!**
