Coach & Volunteer Registration

GETTING STARTED: COACHES, MANAGERS & VOLUNTEERS

All Coaches, Managers and Volunteer (working closely with players) must complete the first three steps noted below. Links to all requirements are provided.

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

The background screening process must be completed once every two years. For the current season, only managers and volunteers who 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 $25 processing fee, per the State Board rules.

3. USA Hockey SafeSport Training

The SafeSport training must be completed annually by all adults and players who will be 17 years of age or older before December 31, 2019. This includes all adults who will have work closely with players during the season. It is mandatory for coaches, assistant coaching personnel, players who meet the age cutoff (most 18U team players), managers and volunteers who will enter the locker rooms or serve as hallway monitors during the season. The refresher module is available for those that completed the SafeSport training for the previous season. As part of the changeover to the USA Hockey platform for SafeSport, everyone who completed the training during the 2018-19 Season is still covered for the 2019-20 Season (annual refresher requirement begins next year).
