  • Great Team: Work alongside a collaborative and supportive group of hockey and arena professionals.
  • Learn & Develop: Continue growing your own coaching skills while learning new training techniques, tools, and systems.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Opportunities that work well around school, another job, or other coaching commitments.
  • Have Fun at Work: We take player development seriously-but that doesn't mean we can't have fun doing it!
