INTERESTED IN COACHING AT EHA?

The Eagan Hockey Association is hiring coaches for the Jr. Gold, Bantam, Peewee, Squirt, 10U, 12U, and 15U levels. Both paid and parent volunteer coaches are required to submit the coaching interest form through the link provided below.

For head coach applicants or paid assistants, the EHA Coach Selection Committee will be conducting interviews in early September. You will be contacted to set up an appointment for an interview.


For parent assistant coach applicants, after your player has been placed on a team, please contact the head coach to express your interest. The head coach can usually accept your offer at most levels. EHA will also supply the list of available assistant coaches to each head coach at the conclusion of tryouts.

All coaches, whether applying for head or assistant positions, should submit the coaching interest form via the link below.
