CAREERS
The Junior Tigers was founded in early 2015 to provide a new way for youth hockey in Hong Kong. Founders and long-time Hong Kong residents Gregory Smyth, Gary Lawrence and Rick Siemens wanted Hong Kong kids to discover and experience the sport with the same enthusiasm they themselves did as children in Canada.
Through the Junior Tigers, children of all ages have the opportunity to train in a positive and competitive environment that promotes learning and growth. Children benefit both physiologically and mentally from taking up sports at an early age and these benefits continue through to adulthood. We are committed to their physical, social, and character development whilst in pursuit of excellence in the sport of hockey. Coaching is provided by top CIHL players, Hong Kong's first and only full contact elite ice hockey league, and we continuously challenge every child to be the best person and player they can be through a number of training sessions, leagues (elite and house), camps and tournaments throughout the season - catering to children of all ages and abilities.
The Junior Tigers employs a number of ice hockey and skating coaches, as well as back-office staff who manage the daily operations of the organization including media, sports management, technology, design, events and web development. At the Junior Tigers, our motto is “more hockey, more fun!” and we are proud that our coaches and back-office staff all adopt this approach to ice hockey.
Job opportunities, when available, will be posted here, on LinkedIn and on our social media channels.
