Dear Chebucto Membership,

Here we are, nearing the end of August.  The Chebucto Board and association volunteers are busy getting ready for summer and pre-season development sessions, and quickly on the heels of that...competitive tryouts and U9 Evaluations

All tryouts can begin as early as September 28 (with the exception of U13 AAA on September 15). As you all know, it takes a village to run a hockey association's tryout processes, a VERY large village, and in recent years the volunteer engagement at Chebucto has been very low with the bulk of volunteer support falling to a very small group of individuals. 

We must conduct tryouts and all other player activities according to Hockey Canada policy and regulations.  As such, we need a minimum of 8 and up to 15-17 volunteers dedicated for EVERY tryout session. 

If the volunteer level remains low, we will be forced to have closed tryouts for Chebucto Minor Hockey (no spectators allowed), and only volunteers will be permitted in the rink. 

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP FORM

Please review the roles available, and submit the volunteer sign up form to indicate where you can help out.  If every player had one parent/guardian volunteer just a couple of 1-2 hour shifts, we'd have every ice time more than covered. 

 We can't do this without you - the parents and guardians of the Chebucto player membership.  Please help us deliver another successful tryout period for our players, and keep the rinks open so everyone can enjoy watching their player(s) give their best.
