VOLUNTEERS

TBLL relies on the ongoing support of community volunteers to help run ALL of our awesome programming. As our organization continues to grow (yay!), our need of more volunteers expands! We at TBLL work to ensure that our organization is safe and fun, while also providing various ways of development.

Whether you are a high school student looking to obtain more hours or you are already planning to be at the rink this upcoming season, we welcome anyone interested in volunteering to join.

Who is TBLL looking to volunteer?

TBLL prides ourself on our community! We are looking for hard working and enthusiastic individuals who work well on a team. While we appreciate previous coaching or leadership experience, it is not a requirement.

We also welcome any parent who is interested in helping with their childs team or even if you are just interested in learning more about the game.
