Volunteers

• PRC Process

All volunteers must submit your Police Record Check (PRC) forms to the Risk & Safety Director.

Under the Team section on this website you will see a listing of the House League Coaches who comprise the first level of volunteers without whom our House League teams would not exist. There are 28 House League teams playing out of the Canterbury Hockey Association. With each team requiring a Head Coach, at least two Assistant Coaches, a Trainer and a Manager we already have 140 volunteers helping out. And you can be one!

However, these teams don’t just magically appear at the beginning of each hockey season. The Executive has been instrumental in ensuring the delivery of the hockey program is planned and that all details have been taken care of even before our first on-ice volunteer is chosen or before the first set of skates hits the ice.

How to become a volunteer:
You just taken the first step. Reading this page is your gateway to CHA Volunteerism. If you have any questions about volunteering, please don’t hesitate to call a member of the executive or Rodney Walsh (Initiation Program Director) at 613-260-9546.

Volunteer Positions:
Coaches - Head Coach & Assistant Coach
Trainer
Team Manager
Division Convenors
CHA Executive Members

Volunteers are also needed to 'run the clock' and to 'write-up the gamesheet'.

Coaches:
To be a house league Head Coach the minimum requirement is Coach Stream Level certification.
House league Assistant Coaches should have a Coach Stream Level Coaching certification.

Trainers:
Every team has to have a qualified Trainer on the bench. There is Level I and Level II certification.

Team Managers:
No team can operate without a manager. There are no specific prerequisites to be a manager; you just need the time to devote to the team.

Division Convenors:
Each division of the CHA (for example, Peewee) has a Division Convenor.

Executive Members:

Our Association has been blessed over the years with a great number of volunteers who have given up some of their own time to assist in the monthly operation of the Canterbury Hockey Association through their participation on the Executive.

To those of you who participated with your son(s) and /or daughter(s) in the past season the CHA Executive would like to thank you for your contribution in making their hockey experience and that of their teammates a memorable one.
