Volunteering

MYHA Family - We do this together

Marshfield Youth Hockey Association is a volunteer run organization. As part of the MYHA hockey family, we look to you to provide some of the many hours needed to make our association run smoothly and to keep registration fees down. It takes a lot of volunteers to help provide the best experience possible for our players, families, and fans.

Please read the following information carefully!

Concessions Job Descriptions

Please read the concessions job descriptions prior to signing up for DIBS. The job descriptions can be found on the Concessions page or by clicking on the button below.

Canceled Volunteer Shifts

You are responsible for finding your own replacement if you cannot work your scheduled shift(s). If you or your replacement fail to show up for the shift, it will result in a $75 fine.

Hire out Concession hours

You can hire someone to work your hours. Use your account to sign up for the dib, put that person’s name in the fulfiller field, but use your contact information. If you or your hired helper fail to show up for the shift, it will result in a $75 fine.

Extra concessions credit

If you work a concession shift and stay longer because your replacement worker was late coming in or didn’t show up, please email our Volunteer Coordinator with details so you can get proper credit for your hours.

Credit for canceled games/open skate DIBS

You will receive credit for the shift you signed up for, if the shift is canceled less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled game or open skate start time.

Buy-out option

You may choose to buy-out of your required concessions hours. The fee is $450. Please contact the MYHA president for more information (myha.president@gmail.com).

Fines

In addition to no-show fines of $75, families will be charged a fine of $30 for every concession hour not completed (you did not sign up/worked all required concession hours).  The total amount will be invoiced prior to the beginning of next season.  Failure to pay the invoice in full will disqualify your skater from participating on the ice.

Workers for Hire

Other/Game Duties

Requirements

There is no minimum game duty hours requirement for this season.  However, we expect every family, regardless of exemption status, to participate and help run our games and tournaments successfully.

Game Duties Tracking

Game duties will not be posted in Crossbar, they will be scheduled and recorded by the Team Managers.  These duties include:  penalty box, score sheet, scoreboard, music, announcing, and Zamboni.

Concessions Weekend On-Call

Weekend on-call position will be assigned to a team and the Team Manager will take care of the sign up.  This position can be held by one or more persons. You will receive credit ONLY for the hours you work in concessions (help because it’s busy, or fill in for a no-show or tardy).

Zamboni Training

Zamboni training is provided at the beginning of the hockey season.  Zamboni training can also be provided by an experienced Zam driver anytime during the season.

Fall and Spring Jobs

All returning MYHA families are required to perform a fall or a spring job, regardless of buy-out or exemption status. These will be posted on the MYHA website. Fall jobs are scheduled for September and Spring jobs are scheduled for April.

1st year families and families with only a graduating High School skater (boys or girls) are exempt.

Please double check your family information in your Crossbar account (your volunteer positions and volunteer hours requirement). Notify our Volunteer Coordinator of any corrections, updates throughout the season, and any problems as soon as you can. Do not wait until the end of the season to try to resolve any problems.
