Job Description

TOP Hockey is looking to hire passionate and energetic on ice instructors to join our growing team in midtown Toronto. Currently, we are looking to hire 3-4 coaches to work with our Learn-To-Play hockey programs during the 2025/2026 season (September 2025 to April 2026).

TOP Hockey Learn-To-Play

Our Learn-To-Play programs are tailored towards children aged 4-6 years old with minimal previous hockey experience. This is an introductory program focused on teaching the basic fundamentals and skills of the game and building a passion for the sport of hockey within the next generation of youth athletes.

Who Is Ideal?

This role is ideal for someone with a hockey background, who enjoys working with young children and has previous experience doing so. Strong communication skills, patience and an out going personality are strong assets for any applicant, as is a desire to work with youth athletes and help develop them on and off the ice.

All applicants must have experience working with kids below 7 years old. Hockey coaching experience is a bonus but not a requirement, however hockey playing experience is a pre-requisite. All coaches must be able to communicate effectively, act in a professional manner, and abide by the TOP Hockey coaching philosophies at all times.

What Do We Offer?

This job is perfect for anyone looking to stay involved in the game in their adult life and help ignite a passion for the sport in the next generation of athletes. We offer very competitive compensation and extensive coach training programs to help you become the best coach you can be. All practices take place at Rinx Arena.

About TOP Hockey

At TOP Hockey, we do things differently. Youth sports shouldn't be about finding the next superstar or phenom, but rather helping young people find their own path, learn life skills and build lifelong athletes. We offer youth sports programs that focus on so much more than what happens on the ice or the field.

TOP Hockey aims to create environments that help build athletes up, not break them down. We believe in the power of multi-sport play, long-term athletic development, and quality coaching. We offer seasonal schedules that make things easier on families, not harder, in order to help as many kids as possible participate in and have the chance to experience all the benefits that youth sports have to offer.
