1.  USA Hockey Registration

USA Hockey requires all coaches, team managers, and other volunteers to register as a member of USA Hockey.  This MUST be completed before participating in any team activities, or having any contact with the players.  There is no cost for off-ice volunteers or team managers.

2.  Utah Amateur Hockey Association Background Screening

Beginning this year, the background screening process must be completed once every two years.  For the  2018-19 season, only managers and volunteers are shown as cleared on the state website (if you aren't sure if you did a background check last year, please click here).  Coaches will be shown as cleared on the official USA Hockey Roster.  Please note that background screenings from other sources are NOT acceptable in lieu of the provided screening.  There is no cost to the coach or volunteer for this screening, HOWEVER, if you do a background screening on the alternating years that it is not required, you will be responsible for the $18 fee, not the organization per the State Board rules.

3.  USA Hockey SafeSport Training

The SafeSport training must be completed every two years for all coaches and volunteers.  Because the training moved to the USA Hockey platform, the full training was required for everyone for the 2018-19 Season.  It is unlikely that any returning coaches or volunteers will need to complete the training, but ALL new coaches and/or volunteers must complete the full training.   The renewal module will be quicker, and required every two years.

Additional requirements for Coaches:

1.  Complete Coaching Education Program (CEP)

2. Complete the online age-specific module(s) for the level of play you are coaching
