Get Connected with Fellow QCHA Coaches
Stay connected with all of the QCHA coaching news by downloading the Sports Engine app. Every coach will be added to a coaching roster (separate from any team). This can be used for information being sent out by the Coaching Director or by fellow coaches needing help at practices. Anything coaching related can be posted here for all the QCHA coaches to see.
Additional Coaching Volunteer Opportunities
Coaches are needed throughout the season. Not only for practices and games, but we have a beginning hockey program 4 times per year, we have a Try Hockey for Free event 2 times per year, we want to hold more goalie clinics, etc. If you have the extra time to help out on the ice, click on the link below to see current volunteer opportunities outside of practices and games.
