Burnett Youth Hockey Association

Opening of Rink: 

• Get the key out of the lock box (contact tournament director or board member for code); 

• Lights are located in the zam room on the back wall to the left (above the gray box with Blizzard logos on it). 

• Turn on the heater for the clock/announcer box (it is marked with pink tape in the fuse box)

• Open the front doors with the hex key/alen wrench key attached to the piece of hockey stick. It is usually by the window to the skate sharpening area

• Heaters can be turned on 15 minutes before games start. The dial is in the skate room. 

• Keys for all rooms (locker, skate, etc) are in the box in the back room in the Concessions. They should be labeled.

Music and Announcer: 

• Need to be here 15 minutes before scheduled game start

• iPad for music is stored in Concessions; Ask in concessions for code for the iPad

• Use app to play songs commercial free; don’t play songs when someone is injured; Play songs during game stops and in-between periods/games

• There is a script up in the box to read at the beginning of each game; the National Anthem needs to be played only at the beginning of the first game of the day

• Announce goals and penalties; can use the megaphone icon in GameSheets to tell you what to say (name, penalty, etc)

• Sundays of tournaments announce patches and present trophies (someone hands them on ice and announcer says it) 

• If you are working the last game of the day, turn off the heater breaker in the zam room (pink tape, right side, breaker box)

Score Sheet:

• Ipad for GameSheets is in the Concessions

• The game should be added, but you will need to upload from the schedule

• Coaches need to verify the line up before the game (bring the ipad to them for this); Coaches can sign before or after (some request after so they can check accuracy)

• You may want a notebook to keep track of the time, name, etc of goals and penalties so you can add them in; click on the megaphone icon for the announcer to have a script

• Shots on goal can be entered in live or at the end of the period

• At the end of the period, switch to the next period at the top

• Refs need to sign after the game

• If a tournament: Message the tournament director the results of each game at the end of the game so they can be entered in for upcoming games

Clock: 

• Need to arrive at least 15 minutes before scheduled game start 

• The switch to turn it on is on the back left of the device

• You are responsible for starting the clock for the 5 minute warm up, setting it and running it for each period (the clock starts and stops on the ref’s whistle)

• You are responsible to put the penalties up on the board

• You are responsible for keeping track of shots on goal; remember, it is only a shot on goal if had the goalie been invisible, the shot would have gone in

• There is print out up in the box with explicit instructions; follow these directly

• Link for video directions

Concessions: 

• If you are signed up for the first game of any day, you open the rink up: see the directions for opening the rink 

• Open the concession stand as soon as you get there and set up while it is open. Follow all of the explicit instruction taped up on the wall/roll up window cover

• During the shift, make sure to check the bathroom garbages and toilet paper. Replace when needed, supplies are in the back room of the concessions

• If you are working a tournament, you are responsible for updating the paper copy of the bracket on the window. ONLY write the team name and the scores, NOTHING ELSE

• If you are working the last game of the day, make sure to sweep in the concessions and vacuum the warming area

Closing the Rink

• Make sure people (not just one, but everyone working the last game) empty garbage cans throughout the rink (there are some in the warming area, outside it, at the stands, in the locker rooms, in the hall by the locker rooms). 

• Sweep the stands

• Spot sweep the entry area

• Lock the front doors (hex key is attached to part of a hockey stick and is stored on the counter in front of the sharpening window) and make sure all other exit doors are pulled shut

Current for 2024-2025 Season:

BYHA operates with support from volunteers.  In order to guarantee that we are able to provide our youth with a great hockey season, we need parents to volunteer their time at a variety of events that our association organizes throughout the year (open skate, tournaments, gun raffles, cleaning, high school games, men’s tournament, gun show, spring banquet). 

Each family is required to volunteer during the season and in the following off-season.  For Mites, Squirts, Peewees & Bantams it is required to work at least 1 shift at two different Junior Gold Tournaments and one meat raffle throughout the season. 

We will be asking for a deposit on your volunteer hours.  If the volunteer hours requirements are not met, then BYHA will deposit your check. Volunteer hours requirements are determined by the oldest child registered with BYHA for multiple children (you do not need to add hours up for every child registered). You are responsible for filling out your volunteer hours GoogleDoc and validating recorded hours. Each team is also required to sell raffle tickets throughout the season for a team raffle.

It will not be uncommon for you to put in more than your required hours.  These are minimum requirements, not maximums.

FAMILIES ARE REQUIRED TO WORK THE HOME TOURNAMENT OF THEIR CHILD'S LEVEL OF PLAY AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE SHIFT AT 2 JUNIOR GOLD TOURNAMENTS.

I understand the volunteer requirements for the 2024-2025 hockey season and off-season. I also understand that if the volunteer hours requirements are not met for the hockey season, my deposit check will be cashed on or after Oct. 31, 2025.
