Locker room attendants are required per USA Hockey, Minnesota Hockey and District 8 policy.  As the manager, you are responsible for having an attendant in the locker room for all practices, scrimmages and games.  The following items must be considered per Minnesota Hockey:

• The locker room attendant must be of the same gender as the team, so make sure you are covered. 
• “Responsible adults” should be of sufficient maturity (an early twenty- something is not mature enough to supervise a bantam locker room). 
• All locker room monitors must be screened in accordance with the MN Hockey Screening Policy. Screening involves no cost to the affiliate. 
• The locker room monitors should be carefully chosen, and understand that their role is strictly supervision of the locker room. The non-coach locker room monitors are not coaches and should not attempt to be such. 
• “All team events” means both games and practices, and monitoring is required whenever players are in the locker room. The staff must come early and stay late. 
• The locker room monitors must be near the locker room within earshot when players are in the locker room. This applies even if other parents are in the locker room to assist a player with his or her equipment. 
• All recording devices should be banned from the locker room, including cell phones and cameras. 
• Coaches make the ultimate decision if near vs in needed.

At a minimum the locker room monitors’ specific duties include: 

• Responsibility for locker room security, including allowing only team- authorized persons to enter the room and locking the room when the team is on the ice.
• Responsibility for the locker room key
• Collecting and safeguarding any cell phones or other recording devices brought by players. 
• Being in the locker room at all times when a coach is in the room with a single player. 
• Background checks for Locker Room Attendants are free of charge and can be filled out at Screening.minnesotahockey.org  The attendant is required to forward you their "Pass" email from Minnesota Hockey to prove this process was completed.
• The SafeSport module must be completed by all attendants before being able to be a locker room attendant.  Available online after you complete the screening process.  Documentation of this module should be held by the team manager.
