MHA is entirely run by volunteers.  We are always looking for parents to help out.  Each returning player in Mites or higher carries a certain number of volunteer hours, but it takes an army to put a good program together for our young athletes, and that includes our essential Team Managers, Locker Room monitors,  people to run the clock or game sheet at games and MHA tournaments, as well as other key roles on the Association Board of Directors.

MHA offers various types of volunteering opportunities: 

• Event specific Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteering through DIBS for specific roles/dates/time slots: i.e. running the clock. music, Game Sheet, Site Supervisors, etc. during MHA Tournaments. There are TONS of DIBS opportunities, and most Storm families fulfill their MHA Volunteering Requirements through DIBS. Access to these opportunities can be found in the link below.

• Season-long Volunteer Opportunities, i.e.  TEAM MANAGERS, association board members, etc. These volunteers and anyone else who will have regular contact with, or authority over any MHA players throughout the season, will need to register as a Volunteer with MHA in the link below and will need to register with USA Hockey (in the volunteer capacity), obtain a Background Check and complete Safesport Training.  Contact registrar@mplshockey.com for more information. 

Details of the MHA volunteer obligations and opportunities are outlined in the MHA Volunteer Policy.  If you have any questions about your family's volunteer obligation or opportunities, or issues regarding volunteering or the DIBs system, please email Toni Scott at tscott@mplshockey.com.

Families are expected to volunteer a minimum number of hours as outlined below.  If a family has multiple players, their requirement is based on their player with the most hours required. 

Example:  If a family has an 8U and a Peewee, their Association Volunteer Requirement is 12 hours.
