Coaching Requirements

USA Hockey and New York State Hockey require all on-ice helpers to complete the following items.  If you have any questions about these items please contact the coaching director.

USA Hockey Registration

REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING THE ICE FOR PRACTICE

USA Hockey registration is required for all players and coaches who take the ice. This is effectively your insurance that helps cover medical expenses in the event of a hockey related injury.

USA Hockey SafeSport

REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING THE ICE FOR PRACTICE

Safesport is an online module to help coaches and volunteers become aware of the information necessary to help prevent abuse from occurring in our sport.

Background Check

REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING THE ICE FOR PRACTICE

Required each year pursuant to USA Hockey.

Age Specific Modules

REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING THE ICE FOR PRACTICE

In addition to your in-person coaching certification USA Hockey requires that coaches take an online courses for both the specific age of players that you will be coaching and another one covering player safety. You only have to take each module once.

USA Hockey Coaching Certification

REQUIRED BY DECEMBER 31st

The next requirement to coach hockey with SYHI is a coaching certification course held by USA Hockey. It's IMPORTANT to note that while this is required by Dec. 31, there are only a couple of these courses per year held locally, so it is very important that you get registered ASAP. The expiration of your certification depends on the level of certification that you have achieved. Make sure you check your certification status if you are unsure.
