SMHA is led by a volunteer board. The board meets regularly throughout the season to handle everything from ice schedules to fundraising approvals, all on a volunteer basis. At the team level, every coach, manager, and additional volunteer is a parent or community member giving up their own time on top of work, kids, and everything else life involves. None of it happens without them.
SMHA looks for new coaching volunteers from every age category during the off season, with a deadline for applications to be submitted on August 15th. Every coach must hold the certification required by Hockey Alberta and Hockey Canada for their level, and every coach is screened with a current Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Search before stepping onto the bench. The board also arranges player clinics throughout the season so coaches keep building their skills alongside the players. Parents can trust who's behind their Husky, and coaches get the support they need to do right by every kid on the roster. Thinking about coaching this season?

MORE WAYS TO HELP
Coaching isn't the only way to pitch in. Teams also rely on volunteers as tournament coordinators, team treasurers, team managers, and jersey families, and the board always welcomes hands for tournaments and special events.
