Moncton Mounties field manager Johnny Hoffman has brought a winning attitude to the team and the city. His no-nonsense approach, work ethic and baseball experience have paved the way for success.

To everybody's delight Hoffman was voted the 2026 Northern Conference Manager of the Year by the baseball writers.
"Mr. Hoffman doesn't take any nonsense. If you aren't doing your job, he's not afraid to call you on it," noted one of his ballplayers. "But the team wouldn't want to play for anyone else. He's tough, demanding, but he treats everyone fairly and doesn't play favorites. Nobody gets pampered on his ballclub."
