Volunteers

Volunteers


Volunteers are an integral part of our club as we are run entirely through volunteer efforts. The club cannot run to its greatest potential without the generous donation of your time. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team and helping out is a great way to meet your fellow hawks and the broader hockey family.

If you are interested in getting involved scroll through the roles below, listed under the Committee members they are mentored by.

The list is not complete - there are plenty of hockey and non-hockey roles. Time commitments are a guide only, it's about how much or how little you want to do. You can even grab a mate and share the tasks, so don't hesitate to reach out to us for more information.
