2025-26 Season Coaching Application

Coaching applications are now being accepted for the 2025/2026 season.
Deadline for applications is December 13th, 2024.

BDGMHA applies great importance to the position of coach and its role within the organization. In most cases it is the coach’s influence, style, knowledge and ability that will help determine the success of the team both on and off the ice. BDGMHA strives to ensure that their members receive the best coaching possible. We will review all coaching applications as part of the interview and selection process.

An interview panel will be established and their recommendations will play a key part of the selection process. The BDGMHA is the final authority for accepting coaches for all teams and programs. Successful applicants must provide a current Vulnerable Sector Clearance.

Applications are currently being accepted for the following teams:
U15 Tier 1, U13 Tier 1, U11 Tier 1 and U9 Tier 1

Any individuals who wish to submit an application for the following teams are encouraged to do so, however these will be assessed at a later date to be determined.

U18 Tier 2, U15 Tier 2, U13 Tier 2, U11 Tier 2 and U9 Tier 2

All applicants are required to complete in full and submit by the deadline the following:

· COACHING APPLICATIONS 2025/2026 (found by clicking the link)
· All requested attached documentation as identified in the application

**Note: Failure to submit requested information or the application could result in your application not being moved to the next stage of the coaching selection process**

Please email to: [email protected]

Those selected for an interview will be invited within two weeks following the end of the application process. Successful applicants will be notified of interview date and time by email

Selections timeline TBD

Note: applicants will receive acknowledgement by email to confirm receipt of application. If acknowledgement is not received within 7 days from date sent, please contact BDGMHA asap to ensure your application was received.

Not all applicants that apply will be granted an interview. The Selection Committee will contact only those candidates that qualify for an interview.

*Should the Selection Committee report to the BDGMHA executive that they could not recommend a suitable candidate for a team after the interview/selection process, the Board reserves the right to repost the position. Applicants should not assume that they will be acclaimed into a coaching position.

Unfortunately, as in hockey and life, not everyone can "win" the coaching position they want and not every parent will be happy with the selection. We hope that we can agree the process was handled fairly and that we will all support the coaches who were selected.
