Coaches, this page is for you. All SAHA coaches can get their information off of this page. Please make sure you check back periodically, especially during the season, for updates and information.
Thank you for your time and commitment!
1. REGISTER WITH USA HOCKEY
2. COMPLETE A BACKGROUND CHECK
3. COMPLETE SAFESPORT
4. COMPLETE APPROPRIATE MODULES AND CEP REQUIREMENTS
Below are links that will take you to a location where you can see what you have completed and when they will expire.
All coaches must enter USA Hockey's Coaching Education Program at Level 1, and must continue their education with a coaching clinic each year until, at a minimum, they achieve Level 4. Coaches of only 8 and Under players, as well as coaches of disabled hockey, may remain at Level 1 or other certification level, even if expired, until such time as they are coaching any older age level of play or something other than disabled hockey.
Approved coaches can receive reimbursement for USA Hockey registration, background check, clinics, and modules. Receipts are needed if you would like to be reimbursed. Receipts should be turned in to the main office mailbox in an envelope clearly labeled "COACH REIMBURSEMENT". If receipts are in before December 31st, you will receive a reimbursement check at the beginning of January. Receipts turned in after Dec 31, checks will be issued a few weeks afterwards. *You will only be reimbursed if you completed everything you needed to in order to be on an official USA hockey roster.
Coaches or Managers can reserve the meeting room or dryland by contacting SIA office or Jamie Crimmins
The SAHA Development Committee/Board of Directors encourages teams to use the dryland area for shooting, stickhandling, and fitness training. When league games start and ice time gets more scarce, we encourage this supplemental practice for you to have with your team.
Please use this time to help your players work on their hockey skills. There are stickhandling balls and weighted pucks in the coaching closet near the shooting corner, please ask the Rink Attendant to open it for you. Please make sure to use the white pucks only in the shooting area.
Coaches must supervise this area when in use and be sure that everything is cleaned up when finished. Please be respectful when using the area during game times.
