COACHING CHANGES
We have made some adjustments to a couple of coaching regulations. The deadline for ALL team staff to acquire the training is now JANUARY 10.
The Coach 1 Intro clinic now covers both the Initiation & Novice coaches.
The CHECKING requirement has been adjusted for NOVICE & ATOM coaches to only take the new online HU-CHECKING clinic. All Pee Wee through Midget coaches will still attend the in person Checking clinic.
WHAT TRAINING DO I NEED TO COACH
For Minor Hockey Male and Female: All coaches must obtain the appropriate coaching level, as defined by the Regulations, by January 10of the current season. Individuals must complete the online coach modules delivered through Hockey University (HU) then fully attend & participate at an in person coach clinic to achieve "Trained" status (formerly known as "certified").
The course you require to be "Trained" in is specific to the level you are currently coaching. Each course stream of training is designed to cover pertinent learning & skills content appropriate for the level of athlete which you’ll currently be coaching.
All coaches & team staff are required to complete Respect in Sport (RIS) online.
It is important that ALL team staff members understand what training is required for all levels of hockey. Ex: who requires Coach Level, Checking, Safety, Respect in Sport, Intro to Coach. Visit our TEAM STAFF REQUIREMENT page (link at bottom of page) to learn more.
