Volunteer Hours Buyout Cost

During registration a family may have listed the desire to "buyout" of their volunteer hours. The buy-out, paid during registration, is $500. Family who opt to buyout do not have to do any volunteer hours. This does not exempt them from team tasks.

Player Deposit Check

Each player’s family commitment is guaranteed by a $500 check. Your team manager will collect a separate check in the amount of $500 per skater. These checks will be held by the Board Treasurer and destroyed at the end of the season if ALL volunteer hours are fulfilled, equipment returned and traveling monthly ice bill payments are paid in full. If all requirements are not completed in full, your check will be cashed.

  • Team Managers/Treasuers collect a “volunteering deposit check” at the start of each season:
    • made out to CPYHA
    • in the amount of $500
  • Team Managers submit a complete set of checks (the whole team) to Board Treasurer  for safe-keeping.

Checks will be destroyed IF:

  • Volunteer commitments are fulfilled (i.e. all hours completed in correct categories list above)
  • Equipment is returned (e.g. traveling jerseys)
  • Ice Bills are paid in full

Checks will be cashed IF:

  • Volunteer commitments are incomplete
  • Equipment is not returned
  • Ice Bills are outstanding (i.e. balances are unpaid)
