3.  Click into the Dib Session 2023-24

4. Search for Dibs with "unclaimed" status. Click on the name of the Dib, then "Claim this Dib Item."

5. Verify that the box with athlete name is correct, and the fulfiller's first and last name is correct to ensure credit is applied appropriately. Enter phone number and/or email for person fulfilling Dib (parent or guardian). Click "Claim Dib Item."

6. You will receive an email confirmation, if email address is on file and claim is successful.

7. You will receive a reminder email 3-4 days prior to your claimed dib. ****Any dib MUST be cancelled PRIOR to 72 hours to avoid a late penalty fee. (refer to policy for more details).

Click on "My Dibs" to see your progress and monitor the number of completed, claimed, and needed hours.

All coaches, referees, board members, team managers, Locker Room Monitors, parent volunteers (e.g. traveling teams) are required to consent to a background check every other year. 

Go to the MN Hockey Background Screening website to complete your background check. THERE IS A FEE FOR BACKGROUND SCREENING AS OF 2019-2020 SEASON DUE TO THE COST OF EXPANDED SCREENING. Starting 2020-2021, the cost is $40

Mite/Travel level families with one skater must contribute 15 hours of volunteer time. Families with two or more skaters must contribute 20 hours of volunteer time. If you are only a mini mite family, you will be required to contribute 5 hours of volunteer time.  New for this season, we have gotten rid of standard hours or tournament hours - we now just have volunteer hours!

Families must meet their total hour requirement before the end of the regular season.

There is no maximum number of hours a family can contribute in a given year. There is no roll-over of volunteer hours from year to year.
