CONVENORS
Volunteers are an essential part of a successful organization. To help us achieve our mission to cultivate fundamental skills and passion for hockey to our players and to provide a supportive and enriching environment in our organization we rely on our volunteer Division Convenors at all levels. Convenors assist the Director of Youth House League with coordinating items related to that division including but not limited to pre/evaluation skates, team draft day, and communication liaison between coaches/teams and Director of Youth House League throughout the season.
