The We Are Coaches program was designed to increase the number of trained female coaches in Canada in order to provide mentors and role models for young participants.

The goal of We Are Coaches is to:

• Help build infrastructure to support and sustain the participation of girls and women in hockey in Canada.
• Develop female role models and leaders within the hockey community.
• Remove barriers to coaching education for women.

The program will dramatically increase the number of active female coaches in minor hockey across Canada, which will positively influence the recruitment and retention of girls in the game.

Hockey Canada provides financial support for the delivery of all-female Coach 1, Coach 2 and/or Development 1 clinics or for women attending co-ed clinics. Please contact your member branch or member partner for a list of clinic dates and locations.
