2024-2025 Millwoods Hockey Volunteer Deposit Program
Millwoods Hockey is a volunteer-based organization. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Millwoods Hockey. The organization and every individual team cannot run without the volunteer support of the parents and organization.
2024 - 2025 volunteer deposit program: mandatory requirement
- All families will be required to complete volunteer commitments for 2024-2025 unless they have chosen to pay the volunteer opt-out fee with their registration fees. The number of volunteer commitments required per family will depend on the number of players.
- U7-U13 player families are required to complete two (2) volunteer commitments per player. Each credit is worth 4 hours.
- We aim to collect all volunteer deposits at time of registration in-person. If doing online registration there will be a message and the end of payment on how and where to mail your volunteer cheque.
- If registering online you will be given the option to opt out of volunteering and pay the required volunteer amount of $300 per player for U7 and $400.00 per player for U9-U11.
- You will receive email notifications to sign up for events and given two opportunities to sign up. If you decline both opportunities the deposit cheque will be cashed.
- All cheques will be shredded March 31, 2025 which is the end of hockey season.
- There will be no carry over credits to the next season.
- Please contact seeraadmin@shaw.ca for the mailing address if needed.
- Include player(s) first and last name on the memo of cheque
- If you would like to keep your deposit cheque on file for the duration that the player is with Millwoods Hockey - indicate this on the Online Registration - DO NOT DATE
