A Manager's Guide to Hockey Life (Updated October 2024)

Managers make the hockey fun happen, often in the background, without the players even knowing what they do. Team Managers help ensure that coaches are able to best spend their time coaching and they are crucial to the success of a team's hockey season! This page contains lots of information and lots of links to information. Team Managers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the documents and links found below to help guide them through their hockey season. The mentorship committee encourages all OMHA teams to use the various forms located in the Appendices below, our goal is to have all OMHA teams using the same forms which will create consistency and help avoid confusion. It's a lot so, when you're stuck, don't be shy to reach out to the Mentorship Committee for help finding the answers to your questions.
