Fundraising Requirements

Fundraising is a very important part of Hibbing-Chisholm Youth Hockey Association's annual goals.  Fundraised dollars are necessary to keep registration fees affordable for our participating families.  Fundraising decisions are made by our Fundraising Committee and approved by our Board of Directors annually.

Fundraising will be limited to three events:

  1. Raffle (drawing date TBD)
  2. Adult Hockey Tournament scheduled for late February
  3. Summer Golf Outing at Mesaba Country Club

All families except those new to the association are required to fundraise.  Each family is required to sell 30 raffle tickets.

Suggestions are always welcomed.  Please contact a committee member or become a committee member yourself.


Volunteer Requirements

All HCYHA families are required to actively volunteer and support your child's team(s).   All work required for home tournaments, home games, and practices must be performed by volunteers from the child's team.  Team Managers will work closely with all families coordinating the filling of required volunteer slots for all events each team participates in.  For our U12/Peewee/Bantam teams, this also includes locker room monitoring.  Team Managers will have a total number of hours of volunteer work required and then divide that by the number of families.  The result will be the total number of hours each family is responsible for.

With the exception of new families and coaches/team managers only, all families are also required to complete 12 hours of DIBS during the 2023-2024 season.  DIBS can be fulfilled by working non-team specific events and roles, such as Concession Stand, the Palmers Tournament, the Golf Classic, promotional events, and off-season arena work.

For every DIBS hour not worked, each family will be invoiced $50/hour payable immediately following the last volunteer opportunity of the season.  All hours worked will be tracked in the HCYHA DIBS system.  It is each family's responsibility to assure accuracy of the numbers reported.
