Coaching a team this season? Make sure your courses are up to date to avoid ineligibility! 

What do I need to Coach?

Have you previously coached a team and would like to check to see if you are up to date with qualifications? You will need to create a new login/account for the new Hockey Canada Registry.

CLICK HERE for instructions on how to set it up. You will then need to link your Hockey Canada ID to your account in order to view your qualifications. CLICK HERE for detailed instructions on how to do so.

Complete steps 1, 2 & 3 below, prior to stepping on the ice. Step 4 will be completed in October or November of the season.

  • Complete an online CRC every 3 seasons

    Complete your CRC online here: https://justice.gov.bc.ca/criminalrecordcheckk.
