Some Calendar Facts


Quick Calendar Facts

1. How many calendars am I given and how much are they?  Skaters receive 12 calendars and they are sold for $30 each.

2. Why do we sell calendars?  This keeps the registration price for youth hockey lower.  BYH has a 'built in' way for you to fundraise $300 worth of your registration - selling BYH calendars.  (Ask families who live in the cities how much their registration is, and you may begin to appreciate the option).

3. When is the deadline to turn in the money?  December 1st. 

4. What do I need to turn in on this day? All Pay stubs & checks/cash.

5. Do I have to sell calendars? No. You have the option to pay the $300 outright to BYH and not sell them.  Fundraising is merely another option for you to come up with this amount.

6. What is a FRO check and who needs one?  FRO is a 'Fund Raising Obligation' check.  It is a $300 check that is not cashed. It is locked up and held onto until the calendars or stubs/checks are returned.  The only skaters that need FRO checks are first year skaters who are skating for free.

Any more questions, please contact Age Group Reps or the BYH Treasurer!

Happy Selling!
