Team Bench Requirements: The following steps are required for a Coach, Trainer or On Ice Helper to be permitted to be on the Bench or ice after the CYO set deadline.
All steps must be completed. If you have any questions contact your Head Coach or the Parish Leader. Any special guest that would be on the ice at a practice is considered to be an On Ice Helper.
Example: You have an expert in goal tending who is not connected with CYO that is going to work with your goalie. He/she must get the On Ice Helper minimum certification listed below.
NOTE: If you require a Level 1 Trainers Refresher Course then follow the Trainers Course link below, then the instructions and then select Online Level 1 Refresher Course.
IMPORTANT: The year that your Trainers Certification expires you can opt for the Level 1 Refresher Course which is shorter and less expensive. However if your Trainer Refresher Course is not successfully completed by 31 August on the year that it expires then you may be required to complete the full Level 1 Trainers Course.
