There has been some confusion with the application process for the Midget and Bantam Zone teams. A link was provided however the applications didn't go through at the BC Hockey office so we are asking anyone who had applied for a team position to please send a hard copy of your cover letter and resume to ekmha@shaw.ca 

Also if you know of anyone who is qualified please have them send an email to the above address for further information, all coaches must be minimum Dev 1 certified along with RIS, CAAT and have a criminal record check done.
