WOLVES HEAD COACH IAN BIRNIE WINS BC HOCKEY COACH OF THE YEAR

Coach of the Year – Ernie Gare Award
This award is awarded to BC Hockey’s top coach who shows leadership to players, demonstrates skill development and has a sound philosophy. Winning is a consideration but not the only one and not the most important one.

This Award is given in memory of the late Ernie Gare of Nelson who demonstrated what BC Hockey feels are the ideal elements of a coach.

The Westshore Wolves are very proud of our new head coach in receiving this distinguished award for 2018 and we are sure that all the players Ian has coached from Saanich Minor Hockey, especially the Midget Tier 1 program where he has taken them to Provincials the previous five years in a row.
