The key to success is coaching. We look for
experienced coaches that are capable of managing all facets of a busy hockey
team. The commitment is extensive but
the experience is incredibly rewarding being the leader of a group of elite
athletes with a common goal.
Coach Selection Process:
An experienced committee will make the
decisions regarding the coaching positions. The committee will employ a
consensus-building mentality throughout the selection process. Voting takes place as necessary.
Committee members are declared in conflict
of interest where family members are involved at a certain level, and as such
have no input to the decision.
Applicants are asked to complete the online
form available at the link below.
Additional emails to committee members are strongly discouraged.
The application has a number of detailed
questions and you are encouraged to thoughtfully answer each item. Each
question has character limits so please be brief and succinct in your
responses.
Selecting coaches is a time-consuming
endeavor with the committee spending as much time as necessary to find the most
qualified and capable individual for a particular team. The process generally involves the following:
1. Each of the committee members will
review the applications and provide an initial score based on the submission.
2. The applicants will be screened based on
the score and an initial interview will take place - potentially by phone -
with one or more members of the committee.
3. The final screened list may be called in
for a longer in-person meeting with the committee.
4. The committee will meet and come to a
final consensus on the candidates based on all available information.
5. The committee will recommend a final
slate of coaches to the Board of Directors who will then be asked to approve
the list.
Not all applicants will be
interviewed. If the committee believes
that there is a strong applicant for a given team, then that individual may be
appointed without further interviews.
Note: All members of a coaching staff (head
coach, assistant, trainer, and manager) must ultimately be approved by the BMHA
Board of Directors.
Coach Certification Requirements:
U10-U11 – Coach 2 – Coach Leve
U12-U18 – Development 1 Certified
All coaches require their Respect-In-Sport,
Gender Identity, and a current Police Check.
Timing:
A/AA coaching applicants must be submitted
no later than Sunday, February 12, 2023.
BMHA typically receives a large number of
applicants so only those chosen for an interview will be contacted. Processing
and interview setup will be electronic via email. If you do not have reliable access to email
please indicate that clearly in your application.
Thank you in advance for your interest.
