As we continue to build a championship-caliber culture on and off the ice, we are seeking dedicated professionals to fill two vital roles: Sponsorship Coordinator and Billet Coordinator.
If you love junior hockey and want to make a direct impact on the success of our players and our organization, we want to hear from you!
1. Sponsorship Coordinator
Our partners are the lifeblood of this team. As the Sponsorship Coordinator, you will be the face of the Siskins in the Waterloo business community.

Develop customized sponsorship packages that provide high value to our community supporters.
Ideal Candidate: A natural networker with a background in sales, marketing, or community relations who isn’t afraid to pick up the phone and build new connections.
2. Billet Coordinator

Key Responsibilities:
-
Recruit, screen, and interview potential billet families for the 2026-27 season.
-
Conduct home visits to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our athletes.
-
Act as the primary point of contact between the team, the players, and the host families.
