BHC Volunteer Policy

To ensure the success of the BHC, the family of each player is required to fulfill a preset number of support hours during each hockey season.

1.                   Upper Level Teams

(a)                 Parents or guardians of players on upper level teams shall perform 10 support hours for each hockey season; five hours provided to the BHC at large and five hours provided to their respective team.

(b)                 Parents or legal guardians with multiple upper level players are assessed 10 support hours for the first player and five hours for the second player.  There are no additional support hour requirements for parents or guardians with more than two upper level players.

2.                   Failure to Perform Support Hours.  Parents or guardians failing to perform their support hours during the hockey season will be assessed a fine at the end of the hockey season, as set forth below.  Parents or guardians failing to perform and/or to sign up to perform their required support hours by January 1 of the hockey season will be assessed (on January 1) a fine as set forth below (and the fine shall be due and payable on January 20). 

(a)                 Parents or guardians failing to perform at least 80% of their required support hours will be assessed a fine of $250.00.  Parents or guardians who perform at least 80% of the support hours but who fail to perform all of their support hours will be assessed a prorated portion of the full $250 fine.

(b)                 Parents or guardians who are assessed a fine who either fail to pay the fine in full by January 20, or who furnish checks which are unable to be cashed or returned for insufficient funds, will not be allowed to have their player on the ice (beginning on January 21), or to register their player to play for the next hockey season, until the fine has been paid in full.

3.                   Support Hours Buyout

(a)                 Parents or guardians of upper level players may buyout of their support hour requirement by paying the BHC $300.00 per player prior to the player’s first practice following tryouts.  Under no circumstances shall a family with multiple players, that wants to buy out of their support hour requirements, be required to pay the buyout fee for more than two players.

(b)                 Families that obtain financial assistance from BHC (through the Bloom Fund or other means) are not allowed to buyout their required support hours.

The Volunteer Policy will be discussed further at Pre-Season Parent Meetings.
