Volunteer (DIBS)

Each Hawk Squirt, Peewee, Bantam, and Midget family is required to donate eight (8) hours of their time at Chicago Hawks Hockey Club event(s) or pay a buy-out fee of $300. NOTE: If a family has a Peewee, Bantam, or Midget player AND another player at either the Mite or Squirt level, that family must complete eight (8) hours to fulfill the Volunteer Obligation Policy.

As part of the registration, Families are required to agree to either work the required hours, or opt out, and pay $300.00 to waive the volunteer requirement. If you agree to work your hours, your credit card will be charged $1.00 during registration which allows us to hold your credit card information should you not complete your hours. Should you not fulfill your volunteer hours by March 1st, 2025 your credit card will be charged $300.00. This fee will not be prorated for partial completion of hours. Failure to work the volunteer hours or pay the $300 fee will result in a hold placed on your account for the following season, and your player(s) will not be allowed on the ice until the past season’s debt is settled.

Volunteer slots are added throughout the season. The volunteer commitment and fee are per family, not per player. Volunteer hours are awarded for support of the Hawks Hockey Club programs and not for team specific functions. DIBS hours are not transferable to other families. Volunteer slots must be fulfilled by adults. The only exception to this requirement is Learn to Skate “on ice” help, which ONLY Peewee-Midget level Hawks players are eligible to assist. If you have any questions regarding volunteering, please consult the CHHC Volunteer Policy or email our President at hawkspresident@chicagohawks.com.
