To be rostered to a team or to a bench, you and/or parents and guardians must have proper qualifications and take mandatory courses per OMHA rules. (To go directly to the page you need, click on the links below)
To find the course you need, please scroll down to the division (U13, U15 etc) and category (LL or Rep) to see the qualifications required.
To sign up for the courses listed below, use the links provided in this document and at the top of the clinic page, ensure you select
Ontario Hockey Federation and
Ontario Minor Hockey Association for the proper courses.
Do not email your course certificates to the Lakefield Minor Hockey Executive. Your qualifications will automatically show up in HCR immediately, or within the timelines of HCR's weekly update. If they are not visible, you have not completed the course properly.
Please use an email and password that you will remember in the coming years, as your account will always be tied to the email you sign up with. Lakefield Minor Hockey reps are not able to retrieve your qualifications and upload them for you or provide you with your login information.
MANDATORY FOR ALL PARENTS/GUARDIANS
All parents/guardians of players must take the Respect in Sport - Parent course and link their child to their account. This is all explained in the following link:

NEW 2022/23 SEASON FOR REP HEAD COACHES:
BECOMING 'CERTIFIED'
Upon completion of the in-person clinic, a Coach will be considered ‘TRAINED’ under the auspices of Hockey Canada. This training provides the foundation of education and the necessary qualifications to coach. To be ‘CERTIFIED’, a formal evaluation must be completed.
This evaluation gives the Coach the opportunity to demonstrate abilities/competencies. There are four (4) evaluation components:
- A field evaluation completed by a qualified branch evaluator
- Completion of task work submitted to the branch evaluator
- Develop an Emergency Action Plan
- Completion of Making Ethical Decisions (MED) online module through the CAC website (www.coach.ca)
'TRAINED' STATUS
‘Trained’ status indicates the Coach has attended an NCCP clinic and the Coach is ‘in process’ of completing evaluation to be ‘Certified’
- Effective 2022-2023 Season, ‘Trained’ status carries no expiry
- The development pathway for these Coaches is to move through the certification process
'CERTIFIED' STATUS
The certification process requires the Coach to show evidence of learning and is ‘competency-based’
- ‘Certified’ status carries an expiry of 5 years
- Coaches with ‘Certified’ status will have to complete a defined number of Professional Development points through the Hockey Canada Certification Maintenance Program
- If a Coach with ‘Certified’ status does not acquire required Professional Development points, the qualification will show as NOT-RENEWED
