5.03 COACH/BENCHSTAFF QUALIFICATIONS See SHA Policy 3.06.04
Each year, ALLIANCE Hockey defines the minimum coaching requirements for a coach and bench staff to be approved on a team roster. These minimum qualifications are posted each season on the ALLIANCE Hockey website at https://alliancehockey.com/ and under the tabs “Team Officials/Coaches”. The minimum coach requirements for the 2024-2025 season can be found at ALLIANCE/Team Officials/Coaches on the ALLIANCE Hockey Website.
Coaches and bench staff can register for the required training courses through the same site and path. It is the responsibility of the Head Coach to ensure that themselves and all their bench staff have taken the approved training courses and have met the minimum coaching requirement before the beginning of the season. Coaches and bench staff will be reimbursed entirely for any registration costs for approved clinics attended by the SHA. Invoices for the courses should be emailed to the SHA Treasurer for reimbursement to be processed. Any questions or problems should be forwarded to the appropriate Representative Team Director.
