Fundraising

AVAHA works hard to help families by working together as a hockey family to help where needed by carpooling and other cost saving ideas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the players registration fees cover?
Registration fees mainly include the ice time for practices and home games. A portion of the fees go towards several other areas in helping the club run including coaching and volunteer reimbursements, team parties, tournaments, referees, coaching equipment and more. The players registration fee also includes a volunteer fee that can be given back to parents at the end of the season if families have completed the hours needed. See the FAQ below for more information about becoming a volunteer.
How can I volunteer?
AVAHA is always in need of great volunteers. Our hockey association would not happen if it wasn't for our volunteers. Coaching, managing, scorekeeping, board members, fundraising efforts are all areas of need. Please see our volunteer page for more information.
Why do we need to fundraise?
Player registration fees only cover so much. Approximately 40% of the overall costs to run the league are covered by fundraising. Ashley Valley Hockey works hard to help families cut costs of the sport by organizing fundraising opportunities. We understand fundraising takes a lot of time and effort. Parents are always given the option to opt out of the league wide fundraiser and just pay cash instead. We greatly appreciate our volunteers who work behind the scenes contributing to all the fundraising efforts put on by AVAHA. Because of them many players of our association are able to play hockey!
Why does my player need a USA Hockey number?
USA Hockey provides catastrophic insurance coverage to its members, which is a significant benefit for players, their families, and the association. Ashley Valley Hockey is an affiliate of USA Hockey. Because of this USA Hockey provides coaching resources as well as free SafeSport training to all volunteers to help insure players safety. If you are interested in more information about our AVAHA volunteers please see the link below.
