Changes to Hockey Canada Coaching Courses

Hockey Canada has launched the Learning Lab, a new, user friendly experience for coach, volunteer and officials training. The updated course materials, links, and resources will enhance the volunteer experience from years prior and provide practical tools for immediate use.

This means that Coach 1, Coach 2 and the Hockey Safety programs will be moved to online/ on demand delivery. Volunteers will be able to take the programs at their own pace, in the comfort of their own home.

The name changes to the courses from years prior include:

Coaches who have taken a coach clinic last year will not be affected the 2024-2025 season.

Coaches who are taking a coach clinic for the first time will need to complete the Hockey Canada Coach level and the age specific module within the course content that they are coaching.

Example: Coaching Under 7, complete the HC Coach 1 and the U7 age specific module at the end of the course.
