It is important for hockey parents to understand that registration fees do not cover the cost of our children playing hockey. Further, in order to grow the Redwater Minor Hockey Association (RMHA) and to continue to improve the conditions for our children to play hockey, it is necessary to either substantially raise fees or to do several fundraising activities throughout the hockey year.

In the past, parent surveys have revealed that the majority of families wish to keep the fees at a reasonable level and to volunteer their time and do fundraising. With this in mind, fundraising activities will be required for the current hockey season.

The RMHA executive will be going through some committee changes and we feel that it is important to allow the upcoming committee the freedom to research and implement the possibility of new fundraising activities. Therefore, for current season the following will apply:

RMHA will evaluate and implement activities that will meet the fundraising requirements for the successful operation of Redwater Minor Hockey. These activities may include (but not limited to) Casinos, Raffle tickets, Bottle Drive. Other activities as determined by RMHA. Each family will be required to meet the fundraising commitments as determined by RMHA. Due to Alberta Gaming regulations, volunteers for some activities must be a minimum of 18 years old.

Ø It is expected that families follow through with activities that are signed up for. Should an emergency arise, it is your responsibility to trade with someone for another activity and to notify the RMHA Fundraising Coordinator or your volunteer cheque will be cashed.

Ø Please note that although RMHA encourages and appreciates the volunteer time of coaches, managers, etc., team volunteer time (such as 50/50's and Team Boards) does not count for revenue-generating volunteer time. Hockey executive and committee members will also participate in revenue-generating activities.

Fundraising Requirement Options

Option #1 (Required per family)

- The following cheques will be required to accompany your child’s registration:

- $600 volunteer deposit - dated for the next spring - March 31 (will not be cashed if ALL volunteer time is provided) It is your responsibility to return any sold ticket stubs and money by the assigned due dates.

I understand that I will be required to participate in ALL fundraising activities for the current hockey season as determined and approved by RMHA. If fundraising requirements set by the RMHA executive are not met your cheque will be cashed and only Option #2 will be available for the following hockey season.

Option #2 (Required per registered player)

Ø Families will have the option of paying an additional $400 per player and opting out of fundraising and volunteering. This fee is per registered player

...a.i. $400 Opting out cheque per registered player dated August 30, current year.

...a.ii. Include this cheque with each child registered in Redwater Minor Hockey.

RMHA appreciates your cooperation in working together to keep hockey affordable and to make the hockey year enjoyable and successful for all players and families.

Time Box, Score Keeper, Manager, Coaching, Jersey Parent, 50/50 and Home Game Board are NOT considered fundraising. These are day to day team expectations and all parents are be involved.
