IMPORTANT CLINIC INFORMATION

When registering for a coaching clinic, safety course, or CATT, check if you already have a Hockey Canada ID/profile, DO NOT automatically choose 'create a new participant' and create a duplicate. If you have played hockey or coached/volunteered in the past then you will already have a Hockey Canada profile/ID# and are an existing member.  If the profile is residing with another province or association and not with Kelowna MHA, send an email to Sheena Parks registration@kelmha.com and Sheena will have the profile transferred to KMHA.  FYI to those that are completely new to spordle/HCR, our organization is Kelowna Minor Hockey, NOT Kelowna Rec or BC Hockey.

*All courses are now online and are expected to be completed asap.  If they are not completed, you are removed from the roster and not allowed on the ice or benches.  You must be registered for a coach clinic to be rostered and on the benches for games.  Also, if you do not have a valid respect in sport or CATT you cannot be rostered and therefore cannot be on the ice or benches.  

Reimbursements

We do reimburse for all courses upon completion.  If you are doing multiple courses, send all your receipts at one time when you have completed everything.  Please do not email asking when you will receive your reimbursement.  Reimbursements will be done by e-Transfer.  Do not send any receipts prior to completion.  Receipts and certificates of completion can be submitted to Sheena accounting@kelmha.com

For U7/U9 – Coach 1 clinic is required

For U11 to U18 recreation – Coach 2 is required

Here is the link to to Coach 2 HC Coach 2  This is now an online module, it is not longer done over zoom with an instructor.  Make sure you completed the U11 and/or U13 and/or U15/U18 division pathways or your course will not be completed/certified.  If you plan to coach from U11 and up, it will be beneficial to do all 3 divisions at once, so you do not have to go back in the following years and complete them as you move through the age groups.

*Note: Head coaches of these divisions also require the checking component.  Here is the link to this module HC Skills - Checking  All head and assistant coaches also require Respect in Sport Activity leader, CATT and a criminal record check.

Part 2 is an in person/on ice portion of the clinic, to register set the category to ‘coach’ and set the session format to ‘in person’ and locations and dates will populate.  You must complete part one before you can register for the part 2 in person portion.  This season Kelowna will host part 2 Oct 19th https://page.spordle.com/bch/clinics/1f09d74c-d52d-6c2c-ad14-0657c5bea7bd  and Penticton will host part 2 Oct 5th https://page.spordle.com/bch/clinics/1f09348e-03ad-66a4-a732-02c4da980a79  Those are the only two local options for completing part two, so make one of those dates work!
