USA Hockey Coaches Education Program

All Youth Hockey coaches MUST be certified by USA Hockey before they can coach. Please check your certification expiration. You must periodically attend Coaching Education Program sessions to be re-certified. Coaches holding a CEP Level 4 do not have to re-certify. For the 2023-2024 season, if you are a squirt/10u or higher coach and your last CEP  says December 31st 2023 (or before), you MUST re-certify THIS year!  You can also view your certification status and obtain further info through link below.
