Volunteering Policy Summary - Updated April 2026
Our members have stepped up in a huge way when it comes to volunteering. Thank you!! All of your time is so appreciated and makes minor hockey possible.
Let's keep it going and make the new season our best season yet!
An elected group of volunteers runs RMMHA to ensure the activities and operations of the Association move forward as smoothly as possible. In order to achieve this, the membership must also contribute their time and efforts for each season to be successful.
