Hey! Thanks for stopping by the Coach & Volunteer Information page. We're guessing you're here because you're interested in coaching or volunteering in some way with the London Devilettes in our house league division.
Well, thank you in advance for your dedication and commitment to helping us provide our young athletes with the best possible experience while having fun playing hockey and being part of a team.
Please use this page as your one-stop resource for all the information you will need for coaching and volunteering with us.
There's alot of information that will come your way at the beginning of the season and it can feel a bit overwhelming-- so this page is designed to make things as easy as possible for you.
If you've coached or volunteered in minor hockey before, you may already have some of your requirements and credentials in place, however, this is a great place to start if you need to update anything.
