Jimmy Cannata

2023

With a wry smile and an unrelenting dedication to BAHA, Jimmy Cannata (aka “Coach Jimmy”) has served the Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association since the beginning. It was all hoses and hard work back then and superheroes like Jimmy made it all possible. He helped out in the early days of Bogert Park ice rink construction and drove the ice resurfacer. Jimmy is responsible for registering BAHA as a non-profitin 1998, served on the Board for many years, and was President from 1997-98 and 2003-04. A builder by trade, Jimmy was dedicated to advancing rink construction at both Bogert Park and Haynes Pavilion. He is one of the longest tenured youth coaches at BAHA and represents the best of volunteerism. For more than 30 years, Jimmy has served our ice community as a hockey coach, builder, and champion for the organization.
