MTMHA is run by volunteers. We have no paid positions. Every family with a registered player in MTMHA must submit the volunteer fee; that includes coaches, team staff and the members of the MTMHA Executive.
Without the help of volunteers, the cost to operate MTMHA would be substantially higher. Our registration fees are kept as low as possible and we pride ourselves on our ability to keep our fees low with volunteering. We don't want your money, we need your volunteer time.
In our experience our family members enjoy the time they spend volunteering with MTMHA, however, some would not perform any volunteer activity if not for the potential of a financial penalty.

A one time deposit, in the form of a $500 post-dated cheque, is required from EVERY family registered with MTMHA.
Players will NOT be permitted on the ice until the cheque is received.
- If more than one player is registered it will be collected by the team of the oldest player.
- All players on all teams, (except U5) will be required to leave a volunteer deposit or cheque.
- All cheques must be received by the Team Manager or player participation will be prohibited.
- Cheques are to be made payable to MTMHA and dated for January 20, 2026.
- When volunteer time is completed cheques will be returned/voided.
- If volunteer time is not completed by January 20, 2026, and no arrangements to volunteer have been made with the Volunteer Coordinator, cheques will be cashed on January 21, 2026.
- Any NSF cheques will result in player participation being prohibited until all fees (cheque and $50 NSF penalties) are paid in full.

It only takes 8 hours of volunteer time, regardless of how many kids you have registered, to have your deposit returned.
WE DON’T WANT YOUR MONEY, WE NEED YOUR TIME.
Volunteer cheques will be returned or shredded after January 21, 2026 if your 8 hours are completed.
To get your deposit returned you will need to provide proof to the Volunteer Coordinator that you have put in your 8 hours of time. The process of providing proof is easy and will be explained to you when you perform your volunteer time.
** NEW ** ONLINE VOLUNTEER DEPOSIT OPTION
MTMHA has provided a new online system to provide your volunteer deposit.
Families are able to register for hours on their players Spordle page, but only, until OCTOBER 15, 2025.
How the Volunteer Hours Deposit Program Works:
1. A $5 deposit is charged to your credit card when you sign up.
2. Complete your volunteer hours by May 2026 = your $5 gets refunded.
Skip your hours = $495 will be charged to your card.
Any unpaid balance must be cleared before you can register for 2026-2027.(One deposit per family, no matter how many players.)

Note:
Working the clock, kitchen, etc...at our tournaments DOES count towards the 8 required hours.
It takes participation from everyone to ensure the season is a successful one.
Aside from being respectful, positive and encouraging from the stands parents are also counted on to help the game days run smoothly.
- Should anyone know of a high school student(s) looking to fulfill their Community Volunteer Hours requirement, MTMHA will acknowledge time/score keeping as credit earned toward their hours.
Required Parental Involvement that IS eligible towards Volunteer Fee hours include:
Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Trainers, Team Manager.
Time/Score Keepers
- The home team must provide time and score keepers for each game. The score keeper ensures that the refs, visitors and home team are given their copies of the game sheet after the game. One person may be appointed per team as score keeper to earn their hours.
