*If you have more than one skater listed, only one skater will have the amount of hours required for the family.




Thank you for your continuous support in ensuring our rink is clean and concessions are available for our players, their families and guests visiting our rink. Fulfilling these essential tasks helps to keep registration costs down and our non-profit organization functioning year-after year.

If you are complete with your service hours requirements, please know that any additional help you provide still can be used and much appreciated!
