Registration Process

Coach-Student Coach - Manager-Volunteer Credentials Highlight KEY

This document contains the current list of Coaches, Managers and Volunteers registered with CYHA this year.  If you aren't in the PDF you aren't registered with CYHA yet.

Please use this document to verify yourself and/or your team staff as to what they are required to complete before rostering.

If your name/line is highlighted in green - you are all set.

If your name is white - then you are a coach that has not yet been officially assigned to a team(s) so I cannot verify your coaching credential needs yet.

Any yellow in your line - means that item is out of date and needs to be renewed / completed this year.

Any yellow item in the columns with the red/pink headers - Must be green prior to stepping on the ice or having any interaction with the kids (safesport, background screening, concussion)

If you are a coach and your concussion cell has a date but -NF after it - I need the MN Hockey concussion FORM sent to me.  If it has a NC after it  - I need the actual concussion certificate emailed to me.

Mangers and Volunteers - Your background screening is new this year for you - and it WILL show up in the USA Hockey system.  But there is also a  fee that you will be charged.  CYHA will reimburse you.  Send the receipt and the reimbursement form to President and/or the treasurer (not the Registrar).  

Coaches:  if your CEP data shows N/A - and is highlighted in Yellow and you are a prior coach - it typically means that the name used in your USA Hockey registration this year doesn't match your past credentials and you now have multiple profiles with USA Hockey.  If this is the case - you must call USA Hockey to merge your profiles.  If you are N/A and a new coach you need to take a CEP LVL 1 course this year.

Mite/Cougar Cub Coaches:  You can coach with an expired CEP - but you must have completed at least the CEP LVL 1 at some point in the past to be rostered - and you must have the Mite Module, safesport, concussion credentials and clear background screening.

Student Coaches - refer to the Student Coach Packet on the student coach page  for what you need to completed.

If you believe any of this information is not accurate - you must contact USA Hockey directly to fix it - It is their system and their data - I'm just running a report of what data they have for you so you can be rostered and avoid being redlined.

Please do not send me copies of your safesport certificates, CEP courses, etc.  I can't use them for rostering - your data MUST show current in the USA Hockey database.  The exception to this is the concussion course certificates and MN concussion forms.

Note:  CEP, Modules, Safesport and Background screenings take  days to update through the USA Hockey system and show on your profile - If you recently took the course(s) - keep checking back.  If it isn't clear within 5 business days - something in the linking went wrong and you must call USA Hockey to fix it.

The Roster system will not let me add you to a roster without Coaching level modules, Safesport and Background screenings being current/clear.  You have to have any CEP completed prior to roster signing but you can be rostered prior to that completion (Traveling teams roster signing is the first weekend in November.  Mite/JR Gold is the first weekend in December)
