Team Staff Certification Requirements
The deadline for coaching, managers, dressing room supervisors and any additional bench staff is December 1 annually. The only exception to this rule happens if you are registered for a coaching course that is taking place after the December 1st but you must be registered before December 1st
Current Coaches
Log into your profile on the Hockey Canada Registry to view what credentials you have that are current and what is expired. One of the reasons the registry was created was so coaches and volunteers could have access to their own credentials at any time. Reach out to the Shelburne County Minor Hockey Association's Risk Management Coordinator if you need help determining which courses you need to take. Course fees are reimbursed, please notify the SCMHA Treasurer when a course is complete and etransfer reimbursement will be sent.

Printed copies of the Hockey Nova Scotia Letter are usually available on the SCMHA bulletin board in the Sandy Wickens Memorial Arena lobby in Barrington. Take two pieces of government issued identification to the police station (driver's license, passport, firearms license, etc). The police station will take time (a few days to a couple weeks) to complete the checks, you'll return to pickup the completed form. Send the form to the Shelburne County Minor Hockey Risk Management Coordinator or email a picture of the form to shelburneflames@gmail.com.
