Seeking Volunteers for the 2023-2024 season

We need your help!  Looking for student & parent volunteers to ensure the success of our events, pathway skates, sort outs, and the season.  There are plenty of opportunities for everyone and a chance for students to earn volunteer hours!

We invite you to visit the volunteer signup page, which can be accessed using the “Volunteer Time” tab on the home page of the KGHA website, to view the opportunities available.   >> Volunteer Sign Up

Those responsible for each of the program events you expressed interest in volunteering for will be in touch with you to provide more information and confirm your assignment.  As for regular season volunteers, your interest will be shared with the head coaches to help them build their team staff for the upcoming season.   

Goalies Needed at House League!

Should your player be willing to support their team either as a full-time goalie or part-time goalie and you have not indicated this preference at the time of your registration, please reach out to vphouse@kgha.ca to express your interest.

KGHA offers great goalie incentives such as goalie discounts for both full-time and part-time goalies.  Additionally, KGHA will supply goalie equipment to your team should it be required.  The equipment can be used by any player willing to support their team in nets as a full-time or part-time goalie throughout the season.

Thank you for considering this opportunity and please reach out with any questions.
