Coaches

Thank you for your interest in becoming a youth hockey coach! We as an association rely on and greatly appreciate the people willing to work as coaches. All coaches receive 100% of their volunteer hours through coaching, provided they also attend 4 HIP sessions throughout the season. USA Hockey related costs associated with obtaining coaching credentials are eligible for reimbursement by MCYHA.
