RED DEER - Updates have been implemented to Hockey Alberta’s Coach Education Pathways, with new and/or updated requirements and qualifications for the 2024-25 hockey season.
The changes involve new names for online courses offered within the Hockey Canada Coach Clinic (previously HU-Online), and Hockey Alberta’s in-person Coach 1, Coach 2 and Checking Skills clinics. There are also updated online course requirements for coaches at the Intro to Hockey and Minor Leagues levels.
Full details on the name changes, the specific requirements for coaches at each level of hockey, and the process for registering in HCR are available under the Coach tab on the Hockey Alberta website.
The clinic structure itself is unchanged for the 2024-25 season, with a required Online component, and a required In-Person clinic (includes classroom and on-ice time). As well, requirements continue for completing Respect in Sport – Activity Leader, and Hockey Canada Safety Program – Level 1.
