I am coordinating our local minor hockey association's house league tournament. The tournament runs Thursday, February 6th through Sunday, February 9th. It is hosted by the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association and is called the Don Mott tournament. We are seeking general help after school hours on Thursday and Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Students can choose to volunteer at either the Manotick arena or the Osgoode arena. Any students who have experience running the time clock would be especially welcome (they should be 16 years of age for time clock duty), though there are plenty of other things to do. Students will mainly act as helpers to the rink manager. Rink managers are ORMHA board members, all of whom have current PRC's and are themselves Volunteers.Students can phone me directly to sign up for hours. Kathryn Roy 613-692-5501 (KW Feb 9)
