Hockey Programs Director
Skatetown is seeking an experienced and motivated Hockey Programs Director to lead and grow our youth and adult hockey programs.
This is a full-time, hands-on management position responsible for the overall organization, quality, and growth of our hockey department. The ideal candidate combines strong hockey knowledge with leadership, organization, communication, and customer-service skills.
This is primarily a program management position, not a team coaching position. You will work closely with coaches and instructors, help develop and train them, observe practices and games, and occasionally participate on the ice in a training or instructional capacity.
Programs You Will Oversee:
Youth Learn to Play Hockey
Youth In-House Hockey
Youth Travel Hockey
Adult Learn to Play Hockey
Adult Recreational Hockey Leagues
Camps, clinics, tournaments, and special hockey programs
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the day-to-day operation of Skatetown's hockey programs
Recruit, train, mentor, and evaluate coaches and instructors
Maintain strong coaching and player-development standards
Oversee youth player evaluations, team formation, and advancement
Manage adult league divisions, player placement, parity, rosters, and discipline
Work with captains, parents, coaches, officials, and scorekeepers to resolve issues
Oversee youth travel hockey from a program and administrative standpoint
Monitor program enrollment, retention, and customer satisfaction
Develop new clinics, camps, leagues, and other opportunities to grow hockey participation
Maintain schedules, program information, league systems, and hockey communications
Maintain a visible management presence during evening and weekend hockey programming
What We're Looking For:
Strong hockey background through playing, coaching, officiating, or hockey program experience
Previous coaching experience and the ability to train and mentor other coaches
Experience managing sports programs, leagues, teams, or employees preferred
Strong leadership, organization, and problem-solving skills
Excellent communication and customer-service skills
Comfortable working with youth players, parents, adult players, coaches, and officials
Ability to occasionally participate in on-ice instructional activities
Basic computer and administrative skills
Schedule:
This is a full-time position primarily consisting of afternoon/evening weekday hours and a Sunday daytime shift. A typical schedule may be approximately 1:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Hours and days worked are subject to change based on hockey schedules, seasonal programming, special events, and business needs.
Compensation
$32–$36 per hour, depending on experience
Benefits include paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k), and annual performance bonus opportunity.
The Goal
We want someone who can help us build a hockey program that players and families want to join—and stay part of.
Our goal is to create a complete hockey pathway where players can start in Learn to Play, progress into recreational or travel hockey, and continue playing at Skatetown for years.
If you know hockey, enjoy developing people and programs, and want the opportunity to lead a large and established hockey operation, we'd like to hear from you.
