Manager Information

First of all, Thank you for volunteering!!

The Team Manager is an important component in creating the flow of communication, not only with the team (players, parents & coaches), but between the Divisional Managers, other teams, referees, officials, and the Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association. The role of Team Manager can be complex and thus organizational skills, tact and courtesy are essential qualities.

By taking on the operation aspects of a team, the manager enables the coaches to focus on player development and on-ice instruction. The manager may also act as a coordinator within the team if there are other parent volunteers involved (ie-treasurer, safety person, phone person, etc.). The manager reports to the head coach.

Once teams are chosen, if you are interested in becoming a manager, submit your name to the coach.
