Note: Each year, all coaching positions are considered OPEN. This process allows all potential coaches, including returning ones, to apply and participate in a fair and thorough selection process, which may include an interview.

The role of a head coach is an integral part of our organization, acting as a key connection between the team, the Vice President of Hockey, and the OSMHG executive. Coaches play an essential role in evaluations, team selection, and fostering open communication throughout the season, helping to ensure a successful and rewarding experience for all involved.

Applicants are encouraged to review the Local League Coach Roles and Responsibilities, which outline important expectations for conduct, mutual respect, leadership, instruction, and effective conflict resolution. Support is always available to help new and returning coaches meet these standards.
