Manager Information

BAHA Managers

The Team Manager is a central figure in creating the flow of communication - not only within the team (players, parents and coaches), but between the team and all support systems such as the Minor Hockey Association, League Managers, other teams, referees, officials, etc.
By taking on the operational aspects of the team, the manager enables the coach to focus on player development and on-ice instruction to provide the players with rewarding hockey experiences.

Manager Meetings will be held as teams are being finalized - Week of Sept. 23-29th (times and location TBD)

Should there be any questions before the Manager Meetings, please contact Renee Kadatz vp-admin@baha.ab.ca.
