The Oakville Rangers Hockey Club is pleased to
announce the second round of AAA coach selections for the 2019/20 season including Atom, Minor Peewee and Peewee! Novice and Minor Atom AAA to be announced soon.
At most
age groups, we had multiple applicants including many new non-parent applicants
which was great to see and affirmed that we are moving in the right direction. Our final selections were the result of many inputs.
Panel interviews; application reviews; reference checks; season plan

criteria that the committee used in the selection process.
Congratulations to the successful applicants and thanks to all who
applied. It all starts with coaching!

interviews; application reviews; reference checks; season plan reviews; parent

committee used in the selection process. The result is arguably the most
qualified group of AAA coaches the club has ever had. Congratulations to
the successful applicants and thanks to all who applied. It all starts

This is the time of year when minor hockey club websites announce
the drafting, signings and scholarships of their top alumni. Profiles and background stories are written

leagues? Well, let me suggest that this
is where you actually find the real power of hockey, the real gift of hockey
and some of the most important hockey stories.
