Manager/Volunteer Registration

REGISTRATION for MANAGERS & VOLUNTEERS

Hi all!

Ali here, your friendly neighborhood hockey registrar. It’s that time of year again – hockey registration!! I wanted to provide a couple reminders and points of clarification for those of you planning to coach or help on the ice/bench for this upcoming season!

 

  • You MUST be rostered in order to coach, help with practice, open the door on the bench, etc. If you plan to help with the team in any way – you must get on the roster! (This includes managers and locker room attendants).
  • In order to be rostered, the following requirements must be completed:
    • Background check (good for 2 seasons and cost is reimbursable)
    • SafeSport Training (must be done every season)
    • The following items are NOT applicable to managers or volunteers but MUST be completed for coaches:
      • CEP (Coaching Education Program) Level Courses (dependent on several factors – I can tell you what you level you need.)
      • Age-Specific Modules (dependent on team level – I can tell you what levels you have done and if any new modules are required)
      • Concussion Training  (good for 2 seasons)
      • Concussion Form  (must be signed every season)

 

I know it’s a lot – but it’s very important and necessary in order to comply with both USA Hockey and MN Hockey District 10 rules. I physically cannot roster a person without these things being completed; there isn’t a way around it. Some things take time to show as complete in our USA Hockey portal - the earlier these things are completed, the better! 

 

So why is all this stuff so important? To put it simply, our USA Hockey insurance is null & void if we have a non-rostered person on the ice/bench for any given team. If there were to be an injury, we would not be covered; this goes for both players and coaches. Meaning – we cannot pull players from other teams and we cannot pull non-rostered parents to help on the ice/bench - this puts the entire association at risk.

 

I’m looking forward to helping you this season - please reach out if you have any questions!

SafeSport Training

The training that must be completed by all persons subject to this Policy shall be the training produced and provided by the Center and made available through access via USA Hockey’s website. No other training shall satisfy the training requirements hereunder. The Center shall provide its “Core Center for SafeSport Training,” and its “Refresher Courses.” The Core Center for SafeSport Training is taken online and generally takes approximately 90-120 minutes to complete. The Refresher Courses are only available after a person has completed the Core Center for SafeSport Training. The Refresher Courses are also taken online on an annual basis (every 12 months) of Refresher 1, Refresher 2, and Refresher 3 before the person must take the Core Center for SafeSport training again in year five, starting the cycle over. The Refresher Courses generally take 30 minutes or less to complete. There is no cost to members of USA Hockey to complete any training course. Commencing with the 2022-23 membership season beginning on April 1, 2022, SafeSport Training will be valid for twelve (12) months rather than a full membership season. To remain eligible for participation, Adult Participants who are required to complete SafeSport Training must complete the next applicable SafeSport course on an annual basis (every 12 months) following completion of the previous course. A person with expired training shall be ineligible to participate as a coach, official, administrator, volunteer, employee or in any role where they have Regular Contact with or Authority over amateur athletes who are minors, until they have completed the requisite SafeSport Training.

Background Screening

All background screenings will be submitted through the new NCSI national screening program after April 1, 2020, they will be valid for two seasons. For example, a screen submitted and approved on April 15, 2022, will be valid through the end of the 2023-24 season, which is August 31, 2024. There is now a $30.00 fee for Background Screenings. PCYH will reimburse this back to you upon getting a CLEARED Background Screening - Please forward your MN Background Screening information to the PCYH Registrar (pcyhreg@gmail.com) for verification AND the PCYH Treasurer (pcyhbilling@gmail.com) for reimbursement. You will be able to verify if you need a background screening done through the above link. If you have any questions regarding your background screening please contact our registrar - Ali Piha - email: pcyhreg@gmail.com
