Lancer alum Amy Maitre has taken up a full-time position as assistant coach of women’s hockey.
A five-time academic all-Canadian, former assistant captain, and 2020 MVP has joined the Lancer women’s hockey team as a full-time assistant coach.
Amy Maitre (BHK 2020) played five seasons on the Windsor blueline and returned to the squad as a volunteer assistant coach following her playing career. Her hiring into a full-time paid position was made possible by a female apprentice coach grant from the Coaches Association of Ontario.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to offer this position,” said head coach Deanna Iwanicka. “Amy is an ideal candidate, as a former Lancer herself and then volunteer assistant coach. She has been working on her craft as a coach, and I believe has great potential in this profession.”
Maitre’s responsibilities include day-to-day operations with players and coaches as well as recruitment and program administration — everything from planning practices to monitoring the physical and mental health of athletes, program marketing, and more.
