Athens Youth Hockey Association Coaching Information

The Athens Youth Hockey Association welcomes new and experienced coaches to assist at practice and to serve as head and assistant coaches for teams. Coaching development is as essential to our mission as is player development. AYHA reimburses its coaches (parent and non-parent) for all fees associated with USA Hockey's comprehensive coaching certification requirements.  All parent coaches are volunteers.  Non-parent coaches may receive a stipend, depending on level of commitment. 

Contact Director of Hockey Phil Oberlin for more information.
