We have a great group of directors again this year, Don and Marg Fabro as our life long directors and holding regular director positions are Larry Limacher, Karrie Hall, Derrick Smith, Robyn Wardle, Melanie Holloway & Troy Bobak. Under these directors is a long list of volunteers as well who all contribute in many ways to help make our hockey club the success it is.

Our community organization is always looking for volunteers to join us. We have a few volunteer positions that will need filling for the upcoming season. This is a great way to get involved within the community and give back to the town all while helping the players on our team grow and achieve their hockey goals as they move on to different levels of hockey from here.

The main position we are trying to fill is Treasurer. We would like to fill this position quickly, because once the season starts in September it is a bit busier within the organization. If interested in finding more out about this position or other opportunities please contact Chad Koran at korans@telus.net, James Leroux at k_leroux@telus.net or Glen & Tasha Johnston at gtjohnston@shaw.ca. This position will have the assistance from the board and directors to help the new person transition into it.
