Our People
Our association is dedicated to promoting the sport of ice hockey in the Wellington area. WIHA exists and thrives through our members' countless volunteer hours every week.
The association is coordinated by a volunteer board and we also employ a full-time general manager who works tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our organisation runs smoothly. Together, we strive to create a positive and inclusive environment for players of all ages and skill levels.
Caleb Hance
The General Manager is responsible for managing the day to day operations of the Association and supporting the growth of the club with a particular focus on youth hockey.
Caleb grew up playing Ice Hockey in Colorado and has always loved being around the game. He is really passionate about supporting young people into Ice Hockey. He has supported young teams back home, and when he first moved to New Zealand he helped coach the Mackenzie Bull Tahrs during a stint in Tekapo. He has stayed involved in hockey since moving to Wellington, first as a volunteer youth coach, and now as the general manager. He spent the first part of his career managing hotels and golf courses and he is thrilled to now be responsible for the association’s day to day operations.
