          The Ottawa West Golden Knights is seeking qualified head coaches to lead our teams for the 2026/27 season for U10, U11, U12, U14, U16, and U18 levels.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Teams will play at each Ottawa B League level, U10 through U18 (player birth years 2017 to 2009).
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Interested candidates must have relevant coaching experience and strong leadership skills. We are
         &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          looking for coaches who will instill values of hard work, teamwork, discipline, and respect.
         &#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Candidates must be strong communicators and have outstanding organizational skills. Coaches should also be ready to help build the program and help strengthen the Golden Knights community.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Your team is expected to participate in: on-ice practices, off-ice workouts, tournaments, team-building events, and community outreach and/or leadership-building activities.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          For applicants who will be parent coaches, there must be a reasonable expectation that your player would make the team regardless of coach selection. We also encourage non-parent coaches to apply.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
