Coaches & Volunteers

We are always looking for qualified head coaches and assistant coaches. Please do not hesitate to contact Coaching Director Greg Cheetham if you are interested. Head coaches will be selected prior to evaluations, while assistant coaches are usually assigned after teams are formed. All Coaches and Managers are approved by the PJH Board of Directors.

We also need off-ice leaders to be team managers so the coaches can concentrate on the ice, bench, and locker room. Scorekeepers, penalty box attendants, folks to run the clock, fundraisers, organizers - you name it, there is a volunteer opportunity waiting for you!

Thanks for all the support and look forward to another great season of Jr. Hawk Ice Hockey!
