Coaching for the 2024/25 Rep season
PAID REP COACH OPPORTUNITIES:
The AFHA has a vision for the Abbotsford Ice to be a highly competitive association in the lower mainland and at BC Championships. To align with this philosophy, we are wanting to employ non-parent coaches for the important role of Head Coach for our rep teams at U13, U15, and U18 levels.
We have a robust Learn to Play program and our association is growing with several strong teams. We are building our player and family base as we move forward with our vision.
At this time the AFHA welcomes all interested coaching applicants to apply for the U13 rep and U15 rep teams. Candidates should have a strong combination of playing experience, coaching experience, and coach training.
As Rep Head Coaches you will join our U18 rep team Head Coach Debbie Beaudoin to help build our program.
Here is the link for the application.
If you have any questions, please contact the U13-U21 Coach Coordinator, Reg Gabriel
U13A coach: TBD
U15A coach: TBD
U18A coach: Debbie Beaudoin

Registration for the 2024/25 Season
Players interested in playing Rep in the 2024/25 season must be registered with their home association no later than July 31st if you have a female association available in your community.
Pre-Season events and conditioning
Coaches will typically want to get the teams organized before the start of the season, and initiate pre-season conditioning.
Please reach out to the Association if you are interested in playing Rep for the AFHA and provide your contact information so that the coach may contact you for pre-season training and conditioning events.
Evaluations
Evaluations typically take place the first week of September.
Evaluations usually last 4 sessions but may take longer with subsequent ice times depending on the group and number of players.
2024-2025 evaluation times:
TBD
Season Fees
In addition to the season registration fees for your division , each rep player is also required to pay a rep fee that covers additional ice time as our rep teams typically get one more ice time per week.(see the AFHA Registration page for fees)
In addition, due to tournaments, dry-land training, and other opportunities for team development, team fees are typically higher for rep teams than house teams. Team fees are typically anywhere from $300-1,000 (plus travel and accommodation) costs per season and taken at the start to cover the various activities before fundraising events are organized.
Time Commitment
Please note that Rep teams have more ice times, more tournaments (including out of province or country), team development events and dry-land training in comparison to our house teams. Please make sure that you are interested and able to make this extra commitment before agreeing to compete with a rep team as our teams rely on you as a player (and family) to be successful.
