Meet Barry Marchand

"My name is Barry Marchand. I am formerly from Cape Breton now living in Sackville with my wife and two adult children. Both of my children played hockey through Sackville Minor and continue in the sport actively. I work as a criminal investigator with Canada Border Services Agency and have been with the Agency for over 18 years. I have worked law enforcement, privately, provincially, and federally for almost 30 years. I have a deep passion for investigations with keen attributes attested over my career. I look forward to promoting integrity, transparency, and fluidity to the Ombudsman position with Sackville Minor Hockey Association. Our players, parents, volunteers, and the public need to have clear expectations as it involves disciplinary actions for consequence of behaviour in our association. I hope to bring that level of transparency to our group."

We are excited to have Barry join the SMHA team and are confident that his experience and dedication will be a valuable asset to our organization.
