Volunteer Positions

This season participation by parents, guardians or representatives of players to fill volunteer positions for each game will be mandatory. These staffing requirements are mandated by the CPIHL and the Board of Directors can’t fill every position for every game. There may be a financial penalty and players may not be allowed to participate on ice if you do not comply. We anticipate each family having to fill about 5 positions for the season but the final number will depend on how many games the CPIHL schedules.

Positions that require a background check will be filled by Board Members when possible.

Sign-ups will be administered through Sign-Up Genius.
