Please accept my nomination for 2025-2026 to the board of directors for PGMHA. I have been involved as a coach in PGMHA for 5 years now with a 1 year term on the board. I bring to the board value as someone actively involved in the organization.

2.  Jason Kennedy

I would like to let my name stand for reelection for another term on the PGMHA Board of Directors.

I was elected to the board in 2022 and have served as Treasurer for the last 3 years. During the last 3 years I have work with some great people that all have a passion for minor hockey in Prince George and want to continue to develop a quality hockey program for the youth.

My youngest son played BC minor hockey for 13 years with his last 11 years being with PGMHA and now continues to play in the USPHL. I have completed my Coach 1, Coach 2, and Dev 1 Coaching Certification and volunteered as Assistant Coach and team Manager. I am also a NCCP competitive level coach in 3 other sports as well as a NCCP Learning Facilitator. I have held many positions on organizational Board of Directors including Spruce Credit Union – Director, PG Senior Men’s Baseball Association - Treasurer, Smithers Minor Softball Association – President & Treasurer, and BC 5 Pin Bowlers Association – Secretary/Treasurer. I have spent many years working with various youth sport organizations trying to help provided organizations a stable, safe and enjoyable environment for youth to learn and develop personal and life skills. I believe I have a lot of valuable experience and expertise that would continue to be of value to the PGMHA. Thank you for considering me for reelection for another term on the PGMHA Board of Directors.

3.  Kevin Lutz

Kevin Lutz is a dedicated advocate for youth sports, having guided his son, and now guiding his daughter through the Prince George Minor Hockey Association (PGMHA) system. As a hockey coach for U7 to U13 and spring hockey, Kevin fosters skill development, teamwork, and a growth mindset. His multi-sport coaching experience in soccer and basketball highlights his commitment to well-rounded athletic growth.

Kevin spent the last two seasons as our U7 Director, coordinating coaches and tournaments, as well as providing practice plan suggestions. Kevin is a key organizer of adult 3v3 hockey, and youth programming like the World Juniors 3v3, strengthening community ties.

Driven to be an outstanding citizen, he brings leadership, balanced decision-making, and financial acumen to PGMHA. With human resources experience and a team-player mindset, Kevin is poised to grow a stronger, more inclusive hockey community.

4.  Aimee Dent

I am excited to put my name forward for a position on the PGMHA board of Directors. With a strong passion for the sport and a deep commitment to youth development, I am eager to contribute to the continued growth and success of hockey in our community.

I currently serve as the head coach of the U11 female team within PGMHA, where I have had the opportunity to foster skill development, team work, and confidence in young female athletes. I have organized two female jamborees and served as tournament coordinator for the U11 Shane Davis tournament. Prior to this season, I gained experience as team manager and spent five years coaching ringette, where I focused on creating positive, inclusive, and development-focused environments for players of all various skill levels. These coaching and coordination experiences have given me a solid foundation in leadership, communication, and athlete-centered development, all of which I believe are essential for supporting the athletes of PGMHA.

My motivation to join the board stems from a desire to ensure that every player, regardless of level, has the opportunity to grow not only as an athlete but also as a person through the sport of hockey. I am especially passionate about supporting female hockey and helping build strong developmental pathways that keep female players engaged, challenged, and inspired.

As a board member, I would bring a collaborative spirit, a coach's perspective, and a strong focus on long-term growth. I am committed to working hard, listening to our members, and being an advocate for all players and the future of the game.

Thank you for considering my nomination.
