Re: Hockey Canada Learning Platform for Coaches
In conjunction with Hockey Canada, the *NEW* Learning Management System (LMS) for Coaches is now live providing access to both the
Coach 1-Intro to Coach and Coach 2-Coach Level courses.
Coach 1-Intro to Coach and Coach 2-Coach Level are offered on-demand (Online - Recorded/On-Demand), allowing participants the option to complete their selected course on their own time and at their own pace. These programs also include age-specific content which Coaches are strongly advised to complete for their team(s) division to ensure an enhanced, educational experience.
In example: It is recommended that the U13 Coach completes the U13 age-specific content as well as the general coaching content. Coaches may resume/complete the general content at any time during their session.
Unsure of the Team/Bench Staff qualifications required? Along with consultation from the local Minor Hockey Associations, use this guide to obtain further information: Minimum Coaching Requirements .
For any questions or assistance, please contact: Zach Mark, 519-273-7209 Ext 4.
