The Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association is seeking volunteers to step onto the ice as coaches for the upcoming season in Colwood, British Columbia. The association, which serves youth aged 5 to 20 throughout the Westshore region, issued a recruitment call on April 16, 2026, for individuals interested in mentoring young players.
The organization is looking for people who bring passion and a positive attitude to the rink. Officials note that prior coaching experience is not required to apply. To help volunteers settle into their roles, the association provides necessary resources and support.
Coaches are required to meet standards set by BC Hockey, which include specific coaching certifications, concussion awareness training, and a criminal record check. The association makes the certification process easier by reimbursing the costs for required courses, such as the Coach 2 and Development 1 levels, upon successful completion by March 31. Additionally, criminal record checks are provided at no cost to volunteers.
The association runs its programs at various facilities in the area, including The Q Centre in Colwood. Residents interested in supporting youth athletics in the community can find more information on the official association website.
