Volunteering with U7
On-Ice Volunteers
We are looking for positive, organized volunteers who enjoy working with young players and helping create a fun first hockey experience.
- Prepared and organized
- Warm, enthusiastic, and caring
- Focused on fun and development
- Comfortable communicating with parents
Off-Ice Volunteers
U7 also relies on team managers and volunteers to help things run smoothly off the ice.
If you’re new to hockey, volunteering is a great way to meet families, stay involved, and support your child’s experience.
