Welcome to the Welland Minor Hockey Association Trainers Table, a one stop resource for you, the trainer.
Trainers play a vital role in the mentorship of youth athletes. Your role on the bench during games, in the dressing room and during practice provides a safe environment for your players.
The Welland Minor Hockey Association is here to support you as a trainer, if the answer is not found here with the many links please reach out to another trainer or myself.
Thank you for volunteering your time and knowledge.
