Whether you are a returning coach or interested in getting involved for the first time, we encourage you to apply and be part of another great season of Coyotes hockey.

Applications for Local League teams will open shortly, with more information to be shared soon. To apply for a Representative team position (B, B2, BB), please complete the coaching application form using the link provided.
