PrintWhat you need to know...

๐Ÿงก Calling All PMHA Volunteers! ๐Ÿ’

Because it takes a village to raise a hockey player
(and sometimes a whole rink full of coffee).

PMHA runs on the energy, passion, and good humor of our amazing volunteers—and we’re always looking for more helping hands, both on and off the bench.  Like many non-profit organizations, the Pelham Minor Hockey Association runs on the efforts of its volunteers to provide our players with excellent quality hockey programs.

Whether you're great with drills, paperwork, tying skates, or just bringing good vibes to early morning practices, there’s a spot for you.

๐Ÿ”ถ Bench Staff Positions

These roles require qualifications (but don’t worry, we’ll help guide you through the process):

  • Coach – Lead the team, teach the game, and perfect your whiteboard marker technique.

  • Assistant Coach – Support the head coach and be the ultimate team motivator (and possibly drink distributor).

  • Trainer – Keep our players safe, supported, and stretching the right way. Certification required, superhero status optional.

  • Manager – The organizational wizard who handles schedules, communications, and the occasional minor miracle.

๐Ÿ”ท Off-Bench / On-Ice Volunteer Roles

Perfect if you want to be involved but not in a coaching capacity:

  • On-Ice Helpers – Great for practices, especially with our younger players. Must be able to skate plus have the courses listed below.

  • Event Volunteers – Help out with tournaments, team events, fundraising, and all the fun that happens off the ice.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Support – Admin help, equipment management, or general “whatever-needs-doing” heroes.

๐Ÿ“ Getting Started

All volunteers no matter the position will need to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check.  Please visit the Vulnerable Sector Check tab for more information.
