Hello Coaches,
Effective in the 2022-23 season, Level 4 coaching certifications are valid for three (3) seasons, and Level 5 coaching certifications are valid for four (4) seasons, each as indicated by an expiration date. Before the expiration of their level, coaches must accumulate 5 credit hours of continuing education by attending USA Hockey continuing education offerings. The USA Hockey clinic listings will indicate all continuing education offerings and the credit value of each. The Coaching Education Program retains the responsibility for defining continuing education credit values, including clinic or online course work. For those coaches who received Level 4 or Level 5 PRIOR TO January 1, 2021, and who are coaching or begin to coach after this date, any Tier I or Tier II teams will be required to do continuing education as required in the Annual Guide.
To find your expiration date, please go to https://cepsearch.usahockey.com/ To find more information about continuing education and continuing education opportunities visit www.usahockey.com/coaching-continuingeducation. |
You may or may not have heard that USA Hockey’s continuing education for coaches is up and running. Continuing Education provides all level 4 and 5 coaches the opportunity to advance their knowledge about coaching and player development in a variety of formats, whether virtual clinics, in-person clinics, in-person symposiums, or online modules. New continuing education opportunities become available every month.2024/2025 Season Block Grant

MAHA Tryout Locator
The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) announced the launch of a new ‘Tryout Locator,’ available to all MAHA - affiliated associations. (Starting with the Spring 2022 tryout season.)
Players and families can filter the information, by age group and season, to make it easy to locate potential teams.
Associations and/or teams can post their tryouts on the MAHA website by having a primary contact complete a simple form. The tool allows teams to enter up to four (4) dates, times and locations for their respective tryouts.
Changes and/or modifications can be made to the information as needed.
If you haven’t done so already, please encourage all of your travel teams to utilize the MAHA ‘Tryout Locator’ for posting their seasonal tryout dates. You can access the ‘Tryout Locator’ on the home page of the MAHA website, or you can link directly at https://www.maha.org/2022tryouts
