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 Abe.Appert@cbre.com or mail to MYHA Attn: Abe Appert PO Box 604  Willernie, MN 55090

A "clear" screening result is good for two seasons.

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, 2021.

General CEP Information: 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 at least a Level 4. Coaches may only attend one certification clinic per year. Starting in 2021, once a Level 4 is achieved, coaches will need to complete at least 5 hours of continuing education within the next 3 seasons. 

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

These courses fill up fast! Please ensure you know which level you need to attend.

MODULES MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU CAN STEP ON THE ICE. 

You are required to complete a separate module for each age level (Mite/8 & Under, Squirt/10 & Under, PeeWee/12 & Under, Bantam/ 14 & Under, etc.) that 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 certification and age specific module completion for coaches.  We cannot accept the risk exposure of not being under the USA Hockey 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.  

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 initial SafeSport Training. Please make sure to complete all three. If you already did SafeSport training during the 2019-20 season, then you will just need to complete the "Refresher" course this season. There will be 3 refresher courses before you are required to take the full course again. 

Please save a copy of your final completion certificate and then email a copy of the it to Abe.Appert@cbre.com

MN Law requires that all coaches must complete concussion training every other year before the season begins. If you have to take an Online Age Module, that will satisfy your concussion requirement. Otherwise, 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 Abe.Appert@cbre.com.

Please fill out the Coach Concussion Certificate and email to Abe.Appert@cbre.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 Abe.Appert@cbre.com. 

Please note: You must also register online with MYHA. See Step 2 above.
