Managers
Managers
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 Sooke 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.
1. All Managers must have the Respect in Sport Course which can be taken on-line by clicking on this link. Be sure to complete the player/coach bench staff RIS and not the parent one. Failure to do so will make you inelligble.
