Hey there, folks! Big news in the world of ice hockey management! The EIHA (that’s the English Ice Hockey Association, in case you didn’t know) has set up a super cool steering group for all the managers out there. This group is all about making things better for everyone involved in the sport. They want to raise the standards and improve the experience for players, coaches, and fans alike.
The manager steering group, led by the awesome Vicki Fidler, is getting ready for some major changes. They’ve been working hard to make sure that managers have all the support and training they need. And now, they’re taking things to the next level!
Vicki Fidler, the General Manager, is really excited about the future. She says that managers have more rules and regulations to follow than ever before. But she wants them to know that they have a voice and that their opinions matter. After all, managers are the ones who make game days happen and take care of all the important stuff like policies and safeguarding.
The steering group is all about teamwork and collaboration. They’re working with other EIHA teams to make sure that everyone has the support they need. They’re even inviting club DSLs and wellbeing advocates to join the forum. It’s all about making sure that everyone involved in ice hockey has the tools and guidance to do their jobs well.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! The manager steering group is getting a makeover. They’re going to be even better than before. Vicki Fidler wants to hear from more managers who want to be part of this awesome group. She wants their input and ideas to help shape the future of ice hockey management.
The original steering group has been meeting regularly since 2021. They’ve already done some amazing work, redefining the role of managers in the EIHA. But now, they’re taking things to the next level. They want to make sure that volunteers who support their clubs and the wider audience have the best training possible.
Over the next few months, the steering group will be reviewing the training syllabus. They’ll be working with current managers to make sure that the education they provide is top-notch. They want to give managers all the tools they need to succeed in the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons.
