Volunteering

Our hockey association is one of very few in the state that owns our own rink. And as a member of the association, YOU own the rink. We don’t rent it or lease it from the Village, and we have full responsibility for the maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of it. As owners of the rink, it is each of our responsibly to volunteer time to work the concession stand, clean the lobby, assist with a fundraiser, etc.

For every game we play in our rink, we are inviting guests into our hockey home. Wherever they come from, our rink is the first thing they see when they arrive. They walk into the breezeway and see the multitude of trophies our children have earned. The lobby is next on the list, then, maybe the rest room - all the while, whether they know it or not, they are seeing our rink and determining if they like it here or not. The parents won’t touch the ice, so what does that leave them to judge? The building and how clean it is, the condition of the locker rooms and friendliness of the concession staff. 

We hope that each of you will have a sense of pride when it comes to our building, keeping it clean and reminding younger children and siblings that it is not a playground. It is our hockey home, and we ask you each to do your part in keeping it looking nice and leaving it in better shape than was left to us. The rink was built by incredible volunteers in 1996 and 25 years later, there have been many improvements along the way. We owe a huge thank you to the volunteers who have helped this building progress to what it is today!
