Becoming a Team Manager
The Team Manager oversees the operational aspects of the team.
As Team Manager, you serve as the communication director, financial director, and team liaison. The Team Manager coordinates all off-ice tasks and shares pertinent information with players, parents, and coaches. This enables the coaches to focus on player development and on-ice instruction to provide players a rewarding hockey experience.
The Team Manager is expected to take on some tasks themselves but is also encouraged to delegate tasks with other team volunteers to make the season run as efficiently as possible.
Below are the USA Hockey requirements for being a Team Manager. If you have any questions on the links below please contact your HAYHA Board Age-Division Rep.
