One of the most rewarding experiences in minor hockey is to facilitate the development of young hockey players as their coach. If you would like to get involved on the ice as a head coach or assistant coach or on-ice helper, we welcome all applications.
- Complete the SHIFT FORWARD - COACH Program (different than SHIFT FORWARD - Parent that is required for all players. They are not interchangeable.) This program is replacing the Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders program. When your RIS-AL has expired, you will need to complete the Shift Forward Coach certificate.
- Register yourself through the button below. You will need your Hockey Canada ID. If you do not have one, you will need to generate one by following this process: Create a Spordle Account and Hockey Canada ID
