Hockey Canada Coaching

Hockey Canada contacts and Members


As of June 1, 2024, Hockey Canada has transitioned both the Coach 1 and Coach 2 education program to an online system called the Hockey Canada Learning Lab. For more information please contact your Provincial Member lead.

Hockey Canada Coach 1

Overview

The Coach 1 – Intro to Coach program was designed to review the basic tools coaches need in leadership, communication, teaching skills and lesson planning. This is taught with special considerations of the youngest athletes in mind.

Who should attend?

Intro to Coach is a required course for registered coaches working with Timbits U7 players (5-6 years old) and U9; however, it is not necessarily targeted to the inexperienced coach. The program shows coaches how to teach basic skills and fundamentals while continuing to emphasize fun.

Hockey Canada Coach 2

Overview

Coach Level follows the competency-based education and training method of learning and is an excellent course for all new and recreational-level coaches. The NCCP Coach Level introduces player development and teaches coach knowledge, skills and attitudes in the following areas:

  • Communicating effectively with athletes and parents
  • Supporting the athlete in a:
    • team environment
    • training environment
    • practice environment
    • game environment

The Coach 2 program emphasizes basic skills and the importance of having players develop confidence, self-esteem and a love for the game.
