Minnetonka Youth Hockey

As part of the new MYHA Web Site, we are pleased to announce a new volunteer system.  This system will simplify our processes and improve our ability to offer and manage our volunteer hours.  The Volunteer System is called DIBS and can be accessed by clicking on the DIBS Tab on the upper right hand corner of the MYHA Home page or by clicking on the link below. You will need to be logged into the MYHA site in order to access the DIBS Volunteer system.

Volunteer hour commitments will remain the same as last year:  10 hours for one child in MYHA and 20 hours for 2 or more children in MYHA. The Junior Gold/16U commitment is 5 hours. Also, one change worth noting this year MYHA will no longer require a portion of volunteer hours be fulfilled during tournaments.  

Volunteer hours are an integral part of the Minnetonka Youth Hockey Association.  We will continue to offer a variety of opportunities to make fulfilling your volunteer hours workable within your schedule.  Thank you for your support and if you have any questions, please contact Lance Nelson at volunteer@tonkahockey.org.

Shifts are being added to Dibs for Time Clock Training. The time commitment is only 30 minutes but you will get credited 1 hour for attending the training.

The Time Clock Operating Instructions are posted below.

  Welcome to the new DIBS Volunteer System.  We hope you find it to be user friendly to locate, sign up for (“claim”) and keep track of your volunteer shifts for the 2009 – 2010 season. 

It’s easy to get started in the DIBS Volunteer system.  Just follow these four easy steps:

1.        Log into the MYHA Web Site.  Click on DIBS on the right hand side of the MYHA Home Page

2.       Click on the type of “DIB SESSION” you are interested in reviewing for shifts.  For example, if you would like to sign up for volunteer hours during the Caribou Coffee Tournament, choose this option and click on it.

3.       Optional:  Adjust the parameters at the top of the page for the dates, length of shift and location of your choosing.

4.       Choose the session that you would like to “Claim” and click on it.  Review the details and then click the “claim” button that will appear toward the bottom of the page to “sign up” or “claim” the session.

5.    An email reminder will be sent to the emails listed in your account profile 1 day prior to the day of your shift.

You can keep track of your shifts by clicking on the UTools which is located next to the login link at the top left of the website.

Each family is required to work a minimum of 10 hours/player or a maximum of 20/family. Families that don’t want to work their required hours can buy-out of the volunteer program for a fee of $300/player up to $600 for 2 or more players, payable at Season Registration signup. Those families participating in the volunteer program are required to provide a $300 deposit check per player, up to $600 per family at the time of registration, to ensure their hours get completed. When the required hours are completed the deposit check will be destroyed. The deposit check, payable to MYHA, can be mailed to Pagel or put in the drop box at Pagel. The deposit check will NOT be cashed unless the volunteer hours are not completed by the end of March 1, 2010. The deposit check is mandatory and a player is not officially registered or allowed to skate with their team until the check is received.

Squirt C Club team and JUNIOR GOLD/16U Volunteer requirements: Only 5 hours/player are required and the buyout is $150. The volunteer deposit check amount is also $150.

If you have a Squirt C Club or JG/16U player and a Mite or Travel player, your maximum hours required would be 15. If you have a JG/16U player and 2 players at either Mite or Travel, the maximum hours required would be 20.

If you would like to sponsor a travel team at the B/C level for $650, you can buyout of 10 volunteer hours for an additional $225 for a total cost of $875 which is a savings of $75 on the buyout.
