Coaching Clinics
Becoming a BC Hockey coach requires dedication and a commitment to fostering player development. Coaches must complete specific certifications, including the Hockey Canada National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) relevant to the age group and level they wish to coach. This includes courses like Coach 1 for Initiation, Coach 2 for higher levels, and additional certifications for high performance or specialized roles. Coaches must also complete Respect in Sport training and undergo a Criminal Record Check. Continuous education and commitment to ethical coaching are key.
Referee Clinics
Becoming an official requires a strong commitment to maintaining the integrity of the game. New officials must complete the necessary certifications through the appropriate officiating program, which includes both online and in-person training on the rules of the game, positioning, and effective communication on the field or ice. Returning officials must ensure their certifications are up to date with BC Hockey, including any required refresher courses and additional training. Staying current with certification and continuing education is essential to ensuring a fair and safe environment for all participants
