Dartmouth Whalers Jr Coach Program

Dartmouth Whalers Minor Hockey Association is very excited to kick off our Jr Whalers Coach Program.  This program is open to Current and Past Whaler Players that are U15 age and older.

This group will support Dartmouth Whalers Teams this season and into the future.  We welcome both skaters and goalies.  We have a big need for Jr Coaches to work with U7 and U9 levels as well as our C level teams.  Goalies are also something we require to help our young goalies at U9 and U11 level to develop.

Junior Coach Orientation Session

The following session is MANDATORY TO  ATTEND, all participants must take part
Date: Wednesday November 24
Time 7:30 to 9:00PM
