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, from coaches, managers, helpers on the ice who open doors to the benches, refs, assistant coaches, time keepers, etc. The more volunteers we have available the smoother the season goes.

We will require:

  • Coaches- running the practices and attending most if not all of the games and practices.
  • Assistant Coaches- helping the head coach run the practices and subbing in if the main coach cannot be there.
  • Managers- organizing the kids and ensuring there are enough kids at each game, cancelling games if the weather is bad or not enough players, connecting with parents if there are any issues, ensuring the jerseys are there for games, taking money for tournament fees, etc.
  • Jersey Holders- taking the game day jerseys and bringing them to each game when needed and washing them in your home, assigning numbers to each kid for the purpose of keeping track of who is who when it comes to tournaments.
  • Time Box Keepers- starting the clock when games are on. you will not be needed for practices.
  • Assistants for the bench doors- opening and closing the doors as the kids come in and out and ensuring the kids are playing fair on the bench and on the ice.
  • Referees (you do not need to be qualified as this is fun hockey) - ensuring the kids are playing safe and disciplining if need be.
  • Kitchen & raffle ticket sales during games. This creates revenue for our hockey association.
