Throughout the season the term HOC comes up in conversation from time to time around the glass at the rink or in the newsletter.  HOC is an acronym for Hockey Operations Committee. 
The HOC is responsible for all on-ice player development as well as coaching development.  In all aspects, this separate committee will report to the BYHA Board of Directors and all recommendations and proposals will be passed through to the BYHA Board of Directors for approval.
Currently there are ten positions on the HOC; including, Vice President, Player Development Coordinator , A/B/C Coordinator, A.C.E/Coaching Coordinator, Girls’ Coordinator, Tryout Coordinator, Squirt Coordinator, Mite/8U Coordinator, Ice Schedule Coordinator, and Tournament Coordinator.  In addition, both boys & girls high school coaches attend the meetings.  Meetings are conducted prior to the Board of Director’s monthly meeting. 
If you are interested in being part of the HOC, or you have any questions, please contact HOC Vice President.
