Coach/Volunteer Registration
Thank you for considering volunteering as a Coach, Board Member, or Volunteer for our hockey club!
Before the start of the season, all Coaches must obtain a USA Hockey number to be on the ice with the players.
- Obtain a USA Hockey #
- Create a Participation Profile for yourself if you don't already have one.
- Register for this program from this page with your new USA Hockey #.
If you are a coach and a board member, please use your Coaching USA Hockey Number to register.
Board Members and Volunteers must also register with USA Hockey and complete SafeSport Training because they participate in running the organization.
The good news is that USA Hockey recognizes that registration is FREE since Managers or Volunteers are not permitted on the ice with the players.
Coaches, Board Members, and Volunteers can obtain a USA Hockey Number here:
2024-25 Sting Coaching Application
This registration will allow you to provide contact information, sign consents, and register as a coach for the 2024-25 Season. Please read through each page carefully to ensure all information is provided accurately.
No payment is necessary.
All Coaches must also register with USA Hockey for the season they intend to coach, provide a current Safe Sport certification number and certificate, and provide the date of application for a current background check with NCSI, the company processing the USA Hockey National Screenings.
The link for the USA Hockey National Screening is https://www.usahockey.com/backgroundscreen.
The link for SafeSport Training Certification is https://www.usahockey.com/safesporttraining.
* You MUST register with USA Hockey before the first practice or skating on the ice. Then, go to the SafeSport site. You can sign in or create an account (for new users) and complete SafeSport courses.
*Please use your legal name when registering with USA Hockey, coaching education, SafeSport, and Background Screenings so all records will combine in the USA Hockey system. Each name variation will create a new record, and your certifications and registrations will not connect.
* You MUST complete current SafeSport Certifications/Renewals and Background Screenings before participation in our program.
* Safe Sport certifications now require an annual renewal. What this means for you is that your certification will only be valid for one year and will require renewal again next year.
* Coaches MUST complete the appropriate age module before being placed on a roster.
* Coaches must complete their current CEP by 12/31/24, or they will be redlined as of January 1st. Access to Temp Coaching cards will be more restricted this season.
Please note this example for the new combined age modules: If you already have a 10U module and are coaching a 10U team, you would not need to take the new 12&Under module. However, if you are coaching a 12U team and do not have the 12U module, you would need to take the new 12&Under module, as the 10U and 12U modules are now combined.
PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ON OR OFF-ICE COACHING DUTIES WITHOUT COMPLETING ALL REGISTRATION/CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
