As we approach the start of a new season, we are reminded of the importance of volunteers that help our hockey program run smoothly both on and off the ice. We are appreciative to all our coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, managers, on ice helpers and other bench staff already in roles and beginning to plan for a successful season on the ice.
Planning off the ice are our executive members and committee leads. These individuals are just as valuable to ensure our programs run smoothly. That being said, we are looking to fill some important roles to help us operate this season. Please review below the list of executive positions and committee leads we are currently looking to fill.
Committee Leads

For families with multiple children, the booklet is handed to the oldest player in the family. The coordinators will get a list of families from our registrar and will organize the booklets to be given to each team. The coordinators will give team managers their team’s booklets for distribution.
