SportAbility is recruiting Provincial Para Hockey coaches for the 2026/2027 season! We're looking for enthusiastic individuals with experience coaching/playing hockey who are looking for a meaningful way to make an impact and create a positive, athlete-focused environment where people can achieve their goals.

We have three open roles: Provincial High Performance Head and Assistant Coach positions, as well as a Provincial Development and Junior Coaching role.

Coaches will work alongside SportAbility BC staff to deliver training camps, support athlete development, provide mentorship, and help strengthen para hockey pathways throughout the province. Opportunities include on-ice coaching, athlete evaluation, tournament participation, and program planning. Coaching at regular Surrey-based programming is considered an asset.

Previous para hockey and/or para sport experience is an asset, but additional training can be provided.

Complete descriptions for all three roles and more information are available on our website at https://sportabilitybc.ca/2026-provincial-para-hockey-coaches/

Interested applicants should send their coaching resume, including relevant coaching certifications and Safe Sport qualifications to SportAbility Executive Director Donna Cu***ng at [email protected] by August 15th.

Thank You to Boccia Canada!

Get ready for the next Para Ice Hockey Season. We're hosting a Para Ice Hockey Development Camp on August 22-23 at Panorama Rec Centre in North Saanich.

This is a great opportunity for any current Para Ice Hockey athletes looking to sharpen their skills on the ice and make the most of hands-on coaching and skills work.
