  Concession Stand

  Putting in time at the concession stand is a requirement for all parents in the LOTW Youth Hockey program.  We are a volunteer organization and do not function without everyone doing their part!  If you do not sign-up, then a week will be assigned to you unless you contact Janet Rudd and opt out of working the concession.  If you opt out of working the concession, or do not put in all of your hours, you will be charged a fee of $300.  Each family will be responsible to put in 15 hours of volunteer time (during the current hockey season) at the concession stand.  The hours will be tracked and each family will be responsible and accountable for writing down the hours worked for their family.  All levels (Mini-Mites thru Bantams) will be included in the work schedule.

   

  Sign-up for the concession stand will be run on a first come, first serve basis through the website at www.lotwhockey.org, by clicking on the DIBS tab (then select “concession sign-ups 2018-19).
