VOLUNTEER COMMITMENTS

 

Volunteer commitments are compulsory at Glenlake Minor Hockey Club; the number of volunteer commitments is determined by the category in which each player plays:

Timbits:                     1 commitment

Novice:                      2 commitments

Atom:                         2 commitments

Peewee:                    2 commitments

Bantam:                    2 commitments

Midget:                      1 commitment

           

Volunteer commitments per family will not exceed 2 players.

 As example, a family with a child in Novice and one in Timbits will have to fulfill three commitments (one for Timbits and two for Novice) and must bring three (3) post-dated cheques.

 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.

Starting this season, Volunteer Commitment cheques will be collected at your child’s first evaluation. ALL parents must bring one post-dated cheque for $250.00 for each player commitment. The first cheque should be dated December 15, 2012 and the subsequent cheque should be dated for February 15, 2013. 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)!
