Assistant Coach - Women's Hockey

About Toronto Metropolitan

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada's leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

TMU welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us in realizing the benefits of embedding these values into the work at every level and in every unit of the university. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada and to bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity deserving groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Metis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, persons with disabilities, women, and  2SLGBTQ+ people. Preference will be given to candidates with lived experiences as people from equity deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities with which the University works every day. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply and we welcome newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

The team 

In the Athletics and Recreation Department at TMU, we believe that being a Ram is about more than winning. It is about developing students in all three domains: athletics, academics and community engagement.

We carry out this mission with a focus on exceptional experiences that extend beyond the classroom and promote the growth of all TMU students. We also play an important role in engaging the community on and off campus.

In particular, our diverse program offerings include CIS, OUA and competitive Club teams, many of which are nationally ranked; recreational and fitness programs offered to both TMU students and the surrounding community; world class facilities; and an extensive outreach program that both immerses our student-athletes in service activities and invites the community onto campus to utilize our facilities.
