If you have any questions about your coaching requirements, please email Mikalynn Hauer for assistance. 

Use this link to Register with USA Hockey and start the process:  

Please click on the word "Register" below to register as a coach with MYHA: 

This must be complete before a coach is allowed to be rostered and step on the ice. Please forward the results e-mail from MN Hockey to jessesampair@gmail.com or mail to MYHA Attn: Jesse Sampair PO Box 604  Willernie, MN 55090

All Coaches must have a current CEP status. If your CEP is expired or is expiring this year, you must register for and attend a CEP session by Dec. 31, 2019.

CEP Levels and Skater Age Levels are no longer linked. All coaches must enter USA Hockey's CEP Program at Level 1 and must continue their education with a coaching clinic every year until they reach Level 3. Level 3 certification is good for 2 years. If a coach has an expiring Level 3 certification, he or she may take an online recertification track 1, which is also good for 2 years. When a coach's Level 3 Track 1 expires, he or she may take the online Level 2 recertification (which is also good for 2 years) or move on to Level 4. Level 4 CEP Certifications are usually offered in early Spring and do not expire.

Exception: Mite/U6/U8 coaches only need a Level 1 certification even if it has expired.

Multiple sessions in Oct and Nov are listed for various coaching levels.  Please ensure you know which level you need to attend and sign up now to avoid longer drives for sessions. 

MODULES MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU CAN STEP ON THE ICE.  Modules must be completed before the season starts.

You are required to complete a separate module for each age level (Mite/U8, Squirt/U10, PeeWee/U12, etc.) you plan to coach.

These modules are approximately 5-6 hrs in length and you can pause or exit and resume in the spot you left off at.

MYHA must and will take a hard stance on ceritification and age specific module completion for coaches going forward.  We cannot accept the risk exposure of not being under the USA Hokcey umbrella for insurance purposes. Thanks for your understanding, patience, and time to complete these sessions.

SafeSport Training must be completed before you step on the ice and is valid for one season. (The only exception is that those who completed the new SafeSport Program during the 2018-19 season do not need to renew until 2020-21.)  

To complete or re-new your SafeSport Training, click the below link.

This requirement must be completed before you can be placed on a team's roster.

There are 3 courses included in the SafeSport Training. Please make sure to complete all three. You will get a completion certificate for each course, along with a final completion certificate for the whole course.

Save a copy of your final completion certificate and then email a copy of the it to jessesampair@gmail.com

MN Law requires that all coaches must complete concussion training every other year before the season begins. Here is a link to a free course:

If you have completed any other concussion training course for another sport within this calendar year, that will satisfy the requirement. Also, if you have completed an Online Age Module for any level this year, that will satisfy the concussion training requirement. You just have to email that completion certificate to jessesampair@gmail.com.

Please fill out the Coach Concussion Certificate and email to jessesampair@gmail.com. This must be completed and submitted before the season begins. 

If you would like to apply to be a head coach, please fill out the application below and email it to jessesampair@gmail.com.
