Purpose

Encourage Association members to become actively involved in the operation and SUCCESS of Southwest Hockey.

Overview

Many of our members are unaware of how much volunteer work and fundraising is necessary to operate a quality hockey program.  The Volunteer Bond Program was introduced in the 2015/2016 season as part of the amalgamation; to encourage members to come forward and help out. The time commitment is reasonable and the help is beneficial and appreciated!!

Participation in this program is mandatory of registration with SW and in no way does it exclude families from volunteering with their participant’s team.

It is EACH FAMILY’S OWN responsibility to ensure they meet the program commitment and to ensure they report their credits to the Director of Volunteers.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Volunteer Bond commitment is to the Association. As per the Commitment Contract:

1. Members have an obligation to their team(s) to support & ensure there is sufficient volunteer coverage throughout the season, regardless of the status of their Association Volunteer Bond (VB)
2. Although a Members’ VB may be completed, Member’s MUST STILL contribute at the team level ensuring workloads are shared, and TeamOps positions covered.

Value of Bond

• $500 per family for Community
• $350 per family for House League

If you have a child playing in both the Community Program and House League Program, you MUST fulfill the Volunteer Bond requirements for the Community Program.
