Over the past two years, Cecchini has also worked with several of Canada’s skeleton athletes as a club and international coach at the Whistler Sliding Centre.
Boyer, who represented Canada at the 2018 Olympics and was a member of the national skeleton program for a decade, will take on the role of assistant technical coach.
