Requirements

USA Hockey and Missouri Hockey require all on-ice helpers to complete the following items.    If you have any questions about these items please contact the coaching director.

USA Hockey Registration

REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING THE ICE FOR PRACTICE

USA Hockey registration is required for all players and coaches who take the ice.  This is effectively your insurance that helps cover medical expenses in the event of a hockey related injury.

USA Hockey Coaching Certification

REQUIRED BY DECEMBER 31st

The next requirement to coach hockey with the St Peters Hockey is a coaching certification course held by USA Hockey.  It's IMPORTANT to note that while this is required by Dec. 31, there are only a couple of these courses per year held in St. Louis, so it is very important that you get registered ASAP. The expiration of your certification depends on the level of certification that you have achieved.  Make sure you check your certification status if you are unsure.

Compliance

If coaches do not meet these requirements, they will not be allowed to coach moving forward. St. Peter's Hockey Club will not be able to allocate ice times and practices until the on-ice coaching staff has an approved background check, SafeSport certification, and a USA Hockey number. If coaches are unresponsive to requests for required information, team practices will be removed until the requirements are confirmed. This is done to ensure all requirements are met and player safety regulations are upheld.

Important Note: Rosters are not allowed to be uploaded with USA Hockey if coaching requirements are not met prior to submission. This will impact league games, declaration games, tournaments, and practice games. Games cannot be played until official rosters are posted.

If you have any questions or complications, please reach out to the club registrar.

By adhering to these requirements, we can ensure a safe and supportive environment for our players and coaches. Thank you for your commitment to St. Peter's Hockey!
