Fundraising

A common misconception is that the school pays for everything in HS sports. That is not the case. Hockey is unique due to the high price of ice time. The school covers ice time, in-town game buses, head coach & JV head coach. Player contributions help cover assistant coaches, jerseys/socks/gloves/breezers, bags, overnight travel + meals, away game food, streaming, and other team expenses that support our players' experience.

Our goal is to give families more choice and control over their hockey costs while continuing to provide a great experience for the team.

Salt (or Salt buyout) was required plus “Player Dues” after making the team in order to fund the Boosters for the season.

We're giving families more flexibility. Instead of a required salt fundraising amount, you'll have the opportunity to choose how and how much you'd like to participate in fundraising to offset the $1500 player contribution. Whether you want to offset a portion of your player contribution or work toward covering the full amount, you'll have three fundraising options available to you.

Preseaon Flexible Fundraisers are entirely optional.

If a player is not rostered and elects to play Junior Gold, $225 will be contributed to Jr Gold Registration fees IF they sell a minimum of 50 bags of salt or IF they sell one Media Guide Ad. Additional sales will remain a donation to the Boys HS Hockey Boosters.

Use any or all of these three options to help offset or fulfill your player contribution total of $1,500:

The Media Guide & Digital Program is a professionally designed booklet produced at the start of the high school hockey season, capturing player and team photos and serving as the ultimate keepsake and reference manual.

How It Works

• RESERVED ACCOUNTS: Do not solicit these businesses to prevent duplicate outreach. (attached below)
• 100% of proceeds from your Ad sales directly pay down your HS season player's fees.
• Preseason fundraisers for the HS team are entirely optional. Families are electing to use the specified fundraisers to reduce the $1,500 HS season's player fee and selling ads for the media guide represents a new way to accomplish this goal.
• If a player is not rostered and elects to play Junior Gold, $225 will be contributed to Jr Gold Registration fees IF the player sells 1 Ad or more. Additional sales will remain a donation to the Boys HS Boosters.
