Volunteers are critical to our accomplishments and our vision for the future. McKnight is fortunate to have an energetic and engaged membership, whose volunteer efforts support our organization year after year. As our association grows, we continue to expand and improve our volunteer opportunities and create an environment where volunteers feel they belong.
Volunteer Policy
1. Every family is required to complete a minimum of 15 volunteer hours per player, example, if you have two players then you are responsible for 30 volunteer hours.
2. Each member must acknowledge their volunteer requirement at registration and commit to paying the $200.00 volunteer fee, per player, if they do not meet the required commitment.
3. The volunteer work must be accounted for by March 1st of the defined season, if the commitment is not completed, or projected to be completed, then Member must provide McKnight Hockey Association payment ($200) by March 31st of the defined season.
Lack of payment will result in Member Not being in good standing with the association.
4. Payment can be made via TeamSnap or cheque, and made payable to McKnight Hockey Association. Cheques that are not accepted by the financial institutions due to Non Sufficient Funds (NSF) or stop-payments — are subject to a $35 administrative fee.
5. McKnight reserves the right not to release a member “Not in good standing” for future registration with McKnight or any other Hockey Canada member association
Volunteer positions
McKnight runs on volunteers!!
If you are interested in or would like more information on any below volunteer roles, please email admin@mcknighthockey.com
Coach Admin
This individual will work with the Coach Selection team and with our current coach admin to help with the administrative side of the coach selection process. This is a VERY busy job for about 6 weeks (September 1 to mid-October) but does continue on until December. After that time, the commitment is minimal.
Round Up Tournament Liasons
We are looking for one person per age division (U7-U18) to spearhead these tournaments. This person will work with McKnight's Tournamnt Coordinator but will be the point of contact for their age division.
Equipment Manager
Our current Equipment Manager is looking to step down next year and would like to train their replacement this season. This job requires someone who is organized, can inventory well and has a vehicle to get to our different storage locations.
Grants
This person would work under our Director of Fundraising and Sponsorships. Ideally, this person has some experience in sourcing, researching and applying for grants.
Division Coordinator
We are looking for a U9 House Coordinator. Ideally, this person has a player in U9 House, but it is not necessary. It is also a great step before becoming a U7-U18 Division Coordinator as this role is less time-consuming.
