- Obtain a USA Hockey number for the 2021-2022 season – Register at membership.usahockey.com. This is required before you can step on the ice as a RCHC coach.
- Background Check – Initiate a background check at the Oregon State Hockey Association website. This is required before you can step on the ice as a RCHC coach.
- SafeSport – This is now an annual requirement. To access the training and learn more at USAHockey.com/safesporttraining. This is required before you can step on the ice as a RCHC coach.
- CEP Level Certs – Auto-renewals will not be offered again this year, so current coaches are required to attend a CEP session and level up. (For more information, go to USAHockey.com/rules and click on the "Requirements" tab.) To accommodate guidelines related to COVID-19, USA Hockey offers virtual classes at all CEP Levels. This is a terrific time to get those certifications without having to travel! Go to USAHockey.com/coachingclinics for options and to register for your training. These classes fill up, so get your spot early. Completion is required by year end.
- All Age Modules – Due to requirements from USA Hockey, every RCHC coach has to complete all the age- specific modules. That's because we often have various age groups on the ice at one time. If you are unsure what you have left to complete, please email Justin Rock. Go to USAHockey.com/agespecificmodules to do your age models. Completion is required by year end.
- Apply - Submit a Rose City Hockey Club Coaching Application.
