Attention Coaches!
 
USA Hockey has revamped and made significant changes to the Coaching Education Program (CEP) for the 2011-2012 season.  Documents are now posted to the website under “coaches” that will describe in detail, the new requirements along with a list of frequently asked questions.  Please review the new requirements and contact me with any questions.

In the coming season Minnesota Hockey's new Hockey Education Program (HEP) will focus on skill development, education and accountability. Some examples of HEP initiatives are:

Skill Development - look for standardized testing of players to measure improvement during the season

Education - coaches and parents will receive education aimed at improving player self-esteem, eliminating sports anxiety and reducing player attrition

Accountability - HEP will reward sportsmanship and penalize misconduct. Teams can earn a Fair Play point in each league game. Fair Play points will count toward final league standings. A Fair Play point is not earned if a team has too many penalty minutes or a player, coach or fan is ejected.
