The deadline for coaching, volunteer, safety volunteers, managers and any additional bench staff is December 1, 2024 (The only exception to this rule happens if you are registered for a coaching course that is taking place after the December 1, 2024 date but you must be registered before December 1, 2024)

Current Coaches - please 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.
