Volunteer Info

The Faustina Hockey Club is operated and organized by the members of the Faustina Sports Club. The Sports Club was founded in 1935 and is a 100% volunteer run organization. Faustina is comprised of volunteers, club members and the club executive.

We have a robust volunteer base that assists with various tasks such as time keeping, assistant coaching, and helping at practices or with fundraising.

Volunteers who interact with kids are required by the governing bodies of Hockey (Hockey Canada, OHF,  GTHL) to complete various courses.  These are listed below.

If you are interested in volunteering next season, please contact us at [email protected]
