Managers play a vital role in the success and smooth operation of Ice Hockey NSW, serving as the backbone of team coordination both on and off the ice. From overseeing team logistics to supporting players and coaching staff, their contributions ensure a positive and efficient experience for everyone involved. Equally important, managers are integral to upholding safety and child protection standards, ensuring that young athletes are in a safe, supportive environment. They act as key points of contact for parents, players, and the wider community, fostering an atmosphere of trust and responsibility. By prioritising the welfare of all participants, managers help create a culture of respect, integrity, and accountability—essential elements for the continued growth and success of ice hockey in New South Wales.
