Description
FunTeam Alberta promotes family oriented, low cost, and less competitive sport to be enjoyed by participants of all skill levels. We are an inclusive organization that encourage any activity to be FUN for the participants, parents, coaches, volunteers and the rest of the community!
Welcome to Swan Hills FunTeam Hockey!
Swan Hills Fun Hockey has an emphasis on team play, skill development, and fun. We want players to have the opportunity to grow and improve at a rate comfortable to them and in a positive environment. They will learn respect, sportsmanship, and being part of the community. The entire program is run by volunteers and made affordable to families. The time commitment for families is 2 practices a week and the kids typically play a game on two or three Saturdays a month (this is dependent on player numbers).
Swan Hills Fun Hockey practice times are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30.
The games will be primarily played within an hour and a half drive from Swan Hills, but on occasion there are opportunities to play a little further out. There will hopefully be an opportunity to host an annual home tournament for our team to participate in as well as potentially looking to attend at least one other away tournament.
The coaches, assistant coaches, managers, and other parents who have participated in hockey before are always around to help new families become comfortable with the FunTeam experience.
What to Bring
Full protective hockey equipment is required, as well as a hockey stick. There is the potential for there to be used gear from other players for swap, trade or a purchase at an affordable rate.

Volunteering
FunTeam volunteers are our most valuable resource. We can’t thank you enough for your commitment to our programming and bringing our model of sport to your community.
We will be requiring all sorts of volunteers throughout the season, our Coaches and Manages are all volunteers. The more volunteers we have available the smoother the season goes. There are varying amounts of time you would need to put in as a volunteer but having people ready and willing to help is always welcome.
We will also be asking for volunteers to brainstorm and assist with fundraising so that we can lower our fees in the future.
We require:
- A game scheduler
- Manager Assistant/team communications
