Youth Hockey Needs You!
IYHA cannot continue unless parents volunteer to serve on the board. There will be several vacancies to fill for next year. If you are interested in becoming an IYHA board member, please let me know via email at tmpetro@gmail.com, phone 724-349-5517, or see me at the rink.
IYHA board meetings are held once a month so it won't consume all your time. Membership voting will take place at the annual banquet in March/April.
