Salmon River Ice Hockey Association We are all Volunteers We are group of volunteers that love hockey. Everything is done by volunteers (except game/referee scheduler) We Maintain the Equipment (Zamboni, Building, Compressors, etc.) about everything! We put in and take out the Ice. We work the Snack Bar, Run Tournaments and Public Skate During games we run the score board, fill out the score sheet, man the penalty boxes and cut the ice. We clean the Bathrooms, Floors, Locker Rooms, Trash Cans Everyone pitching in keeps our costs down If someone needs a hand, help them, if there is trash on the floor, pick it up every little bit helps. Want to help, but don t know how ask. We are always looking for people to learn how to do the score sheet, play music, run the clock, run the Zamboni. sriha.org

Salmon River Ice Hockey Association Parent Expectations Fundraising **PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** Everyone needs to do their part! We do not require door to door fundraising. However, all parents are REQUIRED to work the snack bar during games, work public skate when their team is assigned, work their home tournament, donate tournament food and solicit raffle items. Salmon River Hockey is completely run by volunteers, thus the reason why these requirements are in place. Your time equals low registration costs. Please do not disappoint your child. Your player can be removed from the ice if you do not meet these requirements. Sports Engine and Website Download SE app and review website calendar.
