There’s an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child, and many parents will wholeheartedly agree that it’s true! And if it takes a village to raise a child, then it’s safe to assume it takes a community to raise more than 1,000 young hockey players!

At SWAT, this community includes all of our hockey families, the hundreds of volunteer parents, grandparents and friends who give their time for SWAT Hockey, and of course our board of directors who run the club, answer all of the questions and make sure our hockey community is the best it can be.

Thank you, outgoing board members!

At the recent SWAT AGM, two of our voting directors and four of our non-voting directors hung up their skates. On behalf of SWAT Hockey, we’d like to thank each of the following volunteers for their time, effort, expertise and dedication.

  • Bob Lee, Ice Allocation Director
  • Jen Glumpak, U-7 Director
  • Brad Ecklund, U-7 Assistant Director
  • Tristan Zapata and Sue Brassard, U-13 Assistant Directors
  • Justin Gambin, Equipment Manager

We will miss you; thank you for being part of the SWAT Hockey family!

Welcome, board members!

During the AGM, we also filled two of the vacant positions with current volunteers. Quinn Mah is the new Ice Allocation Director and Brad Ecklund is the new U-7 Director. Thank you, Quinn and Brad!
