Volunteer Policy

Volunteers are greatly needed to make EVHA run. Without volunteers contributing many hours, EVHA could not exist. We greatly appreciate the work that everyone does to help make our youth hockey experience a positive and enjoyable one and to make the EVHA program successful! With this in mind we are implementing a Volunteer Policy.

Time Requirement

Each hockey family is expected to volunteer 5 hours per player or a maximum of 10 hours for two or more players.  Failure to show up or find a replacement for a signed up shift will result in a $25.00 fee that will be applied to your account.  These fees will not be taken from your $100 deposit.  If you complete all required hours, your deposit will be returned, even if you paid a ěno show feeî during the season.

Deposit Requirement

To ensure fairness to all families a volunteer deposit will be required.  The volunteer deposit will be $100 per player and a $200 maximum per family.  This will be collected at registration. The deposit will be applied to your final ice payment upon completion of the volunteer requirement.  The deposit will be forfeited if the volunteer hours are not fulfilled.

To ensure fairness with regard to the volunteer policy and deposit, please remember, NO PLAYER WILL TRYOUT WITHOUT A VOLUNTEER CHECK ON FILE!
