VOLUNTEER WITH US!
Without the countless hours of dedication provided by our coaches and administrators, there would be no hockey programming.
Thank you for making an impact on the lives of the youth in our community.
Most of our volunteer positions require little or no experience in hockey. All you need is a desire to contribute and to learn and we will take care of the rest. Whether you’re a hockey player, a people person, a marketing whiz, a number cruncher or anyone who enjoys giving back, we need people like you.
