Get Involved at American Pond Hockey 2026
American Pond Hockey doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s built by people who care about the ice, the experience, and the community around it.
As we gear up for APH26, we’re looking for a few good people to help make the weekend run smoothly. There are three different ways to get involved, depending on your interests and availability.
Whether you like being close to the action, keeping things organized, or jumping in wherever help is needed—there’s a role for you.
🏒 Tournament Scorekeepers
Scorekeepers help track games, manage clocks, and keep the tournament running on schedule. You’ll be rink-side, part of the flow of the event, and essential to making sure teams have a great experience.
*Details on pay, perks, and shift options are included in the link.

❄️ Ariens Rink Crew
This is the heartbeat of American Pond Hockey.
Rink Crew members help keep the ice dialed in throughout the weekend by running brooms on empty rinks, doing touch-ups, and handling the occasional rink fix. It’s hands-on, physical, and incredibly rewarding. This year, the experience gets even better.
*Pay, perks and gear are outlined in the link.
Thanks to Ariens, rink crew members will have hands-on access to brand new Ariens equipment, including:
Power-drive walk-behind brooms and a fully loaded Ariens Mammoth
If you’ve ever wanted to feel the power of top-tier snow and ice equipment in a real-world setting, this is your chance. You’ll be trained, supported, and part of a crew that takes real pride in the work.
This role is a big reason APH has become known for ice quality and player experience—and why partners like Ariens believe in what we’re building.
