What is the "Coaches Committee"?

Ever wonder how WYHA travel coaches are identified and selected?   As part of WYHA’s ongoing effort to increase transparency across the organization, below are some insights regarding the WYHA Coaches Committee. 

The committee includes 10-15 experienced WYHA coaches who have been referred and selected by a Coaches Committee Chair.  Subcommittees for each level are responsible for ensuring that all travel teams have the best quality coaches available.  

The role of the Coaches Committee is to support WYHA coaches and includes:

  • Recruit and identify parent and non-parent coaches for WYHA Board approval
  • Meet throughout the year to review coaching status and feedback
  • Provide coaches for pre-tryout ice sessions
  • Review and address coaching concerns

In-season player and coach development is outside the scope of Coaches Committee and is now owned by WYHA Player Development via Skill Level Directors.

Each Coaches Committee member volunteers many hours throughout the year to help ensure our skaters are receiving a positive hockey experience.  Thank you!

If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
