The INBHF had a busy summer searching for and selecting talented ball hockey people to lead several of our programs. We begin autumn with yet another announcement; this time we turn to our men's program. 

We're proud to announce that Anthony Contento will be the general manager of our men's team as we prepare for the 2019 World Championships. 

Anthony was a member of our 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2015 men's teams as well as our 2016 men's masters team. Most recently, he served as assistant coach for our 2017 men's team. 

Anthony also has a multitude of playing and managing experience at the club level in both men's and masters divisions and has been a ubiquitious presence in the ball hockey community for several years. 

Anthony's ability to connect with players, coaches, fans and other stakeholders will serve him well in his new role. Congratulations! 

Forza Italia! 

We're proud to announce that Michael Frustaglio will be the GM of our inaugural U20 team while Jordan Velenosi will fill the role of assistant GM. Rick Varone will be our inaugural head coach.

Michael has been the assistant GM for the Toronto Jr. Canadiens of the OJHL since 2013. He has had success as both a player and manager in ball hockey since 2004, highlighted by his most recent work as general manager of our 2017 men's team who competed at the ISBHF World Championships in Pardubice, Czech Republic.

Jordan competed in his first World Championships as a member of our men's team this past June in Pardubice, Czech Republic. Residing near Montreal, Jordan has experience as a player, manager and league official in multiple leagues in Quebec and these networks help to broaden our potential player base.

Rick Varone had a successful ice hockey career playing in the OPJHL, NCAA, IHL and CHL. His playing career was highlighted by a division 3 title in the NCAA, along with rookie of the year honours in the IHL and a Turner Cup Championship. As a coach, Rick led the Vaughn King Midget team to a bronze medal at the OHF Championships in 2013. Rick is in his fourth season as an assistant coach for the Toronto Jr. A Canadiens and is the director of player development and head coach of their midget program.

Our U20 team is clearly in good hands! Congratulations Michael, Jordan and Rick!
