These courses are conducted in August-November and cost of approved coaches is covered by Blizzard Hockey.
Head coach selection for tryout teams is made by an independent three-person panel convened by the Director of Coaching and Rep Programs and approved by Blizzard's Board of Directors. The independent panelists can not have a child trying out for the team in question. The selection panel may conduct an interview in-person or by Zoom.
