EPHA - Coach & Manager Policy
The
EPHA attempts to find unpaid non-parent head coaches for all our teams
above the Mite level. This goal is virtually unattainable as well as
needing assistant coaches for these levels as well as 100% parent
coaches for the Mite Program. (A full explanation of the EPHA coaching
policy can be found in the
EPHA Policy & Procedures Document.)
All coaches must meet the following requirements
established by USA Hockey and Minnesota Hockey.
-
A background check form must be
completed and submitted every year.
- A current and valid Coaches Education Certification Card must be
on file with the EPHA Registrar.
Coach's & Manager's Background Check
Coaches and Managers
should complete the Background
Check Form and return it to the Registrar
as soon as possible by placing it in the Registrar’s mailbox or mailing
