TEAM STAFF REQUIREMENTS
Team Staff Requirements is designed to help coaches, managers, & trainers determine what certification is required for all levels of hockey. Any Safety Person or Managers must meet the minimum coaching requirements for the specific level in order to participate in any on-ice activities.
*The HNO second level of the Safety Person certification recognizes a minimum credential of Standard or Advanced First Aid with CPR Level C (*AED training is strongly recommended).*
Also, individuals that have certain types of medical or para-medical training can be issued Level 2 status. In all circumstances, to obtain Level 2 status the participant must possess Hockey Canada Safety Program certification which is valid at the time at which the Level 2 status is granted.
Please send a copy of your Standard or Advanced First Aid Certificate or proof of qualified employment to HNO’s Technical Director, Brent Henley at: bhenley@hockeyhno.com
