Bow Valley Hockey Society

House League On-Ice Volunteers 2023

Calgary


All Bow Valley members are required to volunteer for SOCIETY LEVEL roles and activities or choose to pay out the Volunteer Bond to support BVHS’s operations as a non-profit volunteer organization. We require countless volunteer hours to ensure our society continues to thrive, so we ask each member to contribute his or her part. Most of the support required is during September as we enter our evaluation process. This process is vital to our organization however is also labour intensive for our volunteers.

There are a limited number of opportunities to volunteer beyond evaluations, but these are on an as-needed basis.
Society Level volunteering includes the following list, which is not necessarily exhaustive:

a. Applied as a coach or assistant coach which requires that they provide a minimum of 12 hours as evaluators or on-ice support for the pathway skates, and or one ice support during the Skills Sessions. The 12 hrs can be filled with any of the roles outlined above.

b. Evaluation Support of 12 hours per player or 16 hours for multi-player families fulfilling various roles ie.: bench supervisor, jersey sorting, registration desk, etc.

c. Hockey Calgary League Chair

Anyone not fulfilling his or her obligations will have their $500 Volunteer Bond cashed by Bow Valley. This is mandatory to remain a BVHS member in good standing. Your cooperation in this process is appreciated. There will be an official tracking process for each of the above activities and all hours will be logged and counted towards the individual’s total hours. All prospective head and assistant coaches must complete 12 hours during evaluations as part of their coaching application. Head coaches will be selected and appointed by BVHS following the coach selection guideline. Assistant coaches (3 assistants and 1 goalie coach) are appointed by the BVHS Coach Selection Committee.

The head coach will appoint the manager in consultation with the BVHS Manager of Hockey Operations and respective Age Group Directors. Managers must attend the mandatory BVHS Manager Meeting as part of their volunteer requirements. The team coaching staff will select Jersey parents (2 families per team). They must attend equipment pick-up and drop-off meetings as well as care for uniforms for the duration of the season as outlined in our Uniform Policy.

Please view the Coach Selection Policy on the BVHS website under Policies for all the details that pertain to the Coach Selection Policy.
