Jeff Ball

2024

Jeff Ball was a Board Member and a dedicated coach during BAHA’s infancy. The Bozeman community was seeking direction on how to play hockey and he helped create what has become the culture and community of BAHA that you see today. Hewas one of the first coaches for the Bozeman Stingers youth program and was dedicated to teaching adult players as well. With a house essentially across the street from Bogert Park, Jeff was seemingly never home, but instead lived at the rink coaching, playing, and improving the facility. He was creative with repairs and was known to use a bike with a trailer to deliver hockey equipment and building materials to the rink. Jeff remains a dedicated hockey player and is a great example of how the lifelong sport of hockey can make such an impact. He wanted the rink, the players, the youth and BAHA’s future to be bright and full of promise.
