Resignation Letter From Men’s Hockey Coach Offers Harsh Critique of UBC Athletics
Over the weekend, it was announced that UBC Men’s Hockey Coach Tyler Kuntz would be taking a job as an assistant coach with the Vancouver Giants [1]. While UBC’s statement on the matter [2] paints a picture of Kuntz leaving to “take advantage of an exciting new opportunity,” a 3-page letter he penned to friends and boosters about his resignation tells a different story. Although Kuntz had only been head coach for a single season, he had spent about 15 years involved with UBC Hockey as a player, booster, and coach. After thanking many individuals who helped him excel at UBC, he closes the letter like this:
It’s worth noting that earlier in the letter, Kuntz expresses effusive praise for Theresa Hanson, who heads up UBC’s Varsity Program. UBC Athletics is currently without a leader after former Athletics Director Ashley Howard was dismissed earlier this year. In the meantime, Louise Cowin has taken on the title [3] of “executive leader of the Department of Athletics & Recreation” in addition to her regular duties as VP Students.
