Work Bond

NHC is a 100% volunteer-led hockey program across a wide range of levels. We count on our members to volunteer in order for the program to be successful. NHC has instituted a Work Bond Program to encourage the parents of our players to volunteer to help maintain our program.

How are work bonds being collected?
For the 25-26 season, the work bond will be $100. During registartion, you can agree to volunteer during the season or you can chooes to pay the work bond now. Anyone who does not volunteer will have the $100 charge added to your account and it is expected to be paid immediately.

What if I choose not to volunteer?
If you do not volunteer, your Work Bond will be asked to pay the fee at the end of the season. However, we do not view the Work Bond as a revenue source, so we would prefer you volunteer to help the organization and satisfy your family’s Work Bond. If you know up front that you do not want to volunteer, we do offer a buyout option. If you wish not to volunteer you will issue a check dated the day of the first practice and give it to the Team Parent prior to your child getting on the ice.

What if I only fulfill part of the work bond?
If you only partially complete the work bond requirements, the work bond will be forfeited.
