The idea is to have the new director in place by early July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe have had over 100 candidates from all over the world apply,\u201d the AJH board said in a statement. \u201cWe have narrowed the search to four candidates who will be further vetted by having them meet key members of our community in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The club\u2019s largest fundraisers are held in the fall with the Stirling Cup and the Fall Faceoff, with the hockey season beginning in earnest soon after.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hathaway said Wednesday he would be returning to his roots in Colorado Springs, where he recently agreed to become the next director of hockey for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamcoloradohockey.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Team Colorado<\/a> and its elite AAA girls hockey teams. He\u2019ll also coach a AAA team among other advisory roles on the Front Range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019m going to be staying busy,\u201d Hathaway said. \u201cKind of a bummer. Kind of a shocking turn of events, but it\u2019s funny when one door closes, others open. It was certainly the case with me. I was fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hathaway has played a key role in the growth of girls hockey in Colorado over the past few years. And under his leadership, AJH was a driving force behind the short-lived Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League and the Aspen Leafs U20 junior hockey team, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/aspen-leafs-u20-hockey-team-to-go-dormant-this-season\/\">which effectively folded ahead of the 2017-18 season<\/a>. The league folded after that season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hathaway was also behind a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/aspen-junior-hockey-continues-finnish-partnership-with-vierumaki-university-students\/\">partnership with the Finnish Ice Hockey Association<\/a>, which has brought in a student-coach from Finland each winter to share ideas with the Aspen club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:acolbert@aspentimes.com\">acolbert@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div readability=\"11.303082191781\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-7 pt-3 pb-4 at-4 pl-4\" readability=\"19.164371772806\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers around Aspen and Snowmass Village make the Aspen Times\u2019 work possible.
