MANAGERS
The Team Manager is central to the efficient flow of communication between players, coaches, parents as well as support systems such as the BMHA Executive, Pacific Coast, and BC Hockey. You play an integral part in organizing the team and helping to ensure that the players have an enjoyable season. Your role is best summarized as “the team communicator and team organizer”.
