Four Requirements To Coach for The Richmond Jets

Thank you for your interested in coaching a Richmond Jets MHA Team. Below is all the information that you need to become a certified coach in our association.

  • Coach 1 or Coach 2 Certificate

  • Criminal Record Check (CRC)

  • Respect In Sports

  • CATT - Concussion Assessment Training Tool

Hockey Canada ID

In order to register for a coaching clinic, you need a Hockey Canada Registry ID number. If you do not have one (if you have played minor hockey in the last 30 years you may already have one) please contact the registrar and provide your full legal name as it appears on drivers license, address, email, cell/mobile phone number, date and country of birth, and ethnicity.

If you have a Hockey Canada ID, you can login and check the status of all your credentials on their website

Criminal Records Check & Vulnerable Sector Check

New eCRC service
Identity verification: In the new eCRC system, an applicant’s identity is verified using their BC Services Card. If the applicant is using the BC Services Card to access the online service for first time, they will be directed to activate their card by video or in person through Service BC. Please note if applicants choose to activate their card in person, a mobile device is still required (iPhone, iPad, or Android).

BC Services Card Setup Instructions

As part of a criminal record check process, the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP) will conduct a Vulnerable Sector (VS) check. The VS check is a federally mandated standard set by the national RCMP. The process determines whether or not an applicant has a record suspension (formerly known as pardons) for a sexual offence.

Cost
There is no charge associated with activating a BC Services Card and the criminal record check fee (if applicable) has not changed.

Access Code: RDXVQWH9CU

Your CRC is valid for 3 years

Reporting new charges or convictions:

Applicants:

Applicants must report new criminal charges or convictions to their organization immediately if they work or volunteer with children or vulnerable adults.

Applicants must complete a new criminal record check which their organization will submit to the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP). Applicants cannot work or volunteer with vulnerable people until the consent form is submitted to the CRRP.

Respect in Sport

Respect in Sport is an online course for all hockey volunteers who have contact with players. It will take you about three hours to complete. You will have to pay for the program and you will be reimbursed for the expense once you have finished it.

When you register for the course, use the same email address that you used for your Hockey Canada Registry ID to ensure that your results are attached to your ID.

Please ensure that you take the Respect in Sport module for Coaches.

Coach Certification

Visit the BC Hockey Coaching Clinics web page to learn more about getting certified as a coach and click HERE for the BC Hockey coaching website.

Please note that you do not have to take a clinic hosted by RJMHA. You can take a clinic at any location that works for your schedule.

To take either the Coach 1 or Coach 2 clinic there is an online clinic that must be taken prior to registering for these clinics. Part A is called HU-Online Coach 1/2. You should take this clinic now even if you cannot take the Coach 1 or Coach 2 classroom/ice session until after the season starts. Then you will be ready to sign up for the Coach 2 clinic as soon as a session is scheduled and you will not have to wait.

You can register online for the HU-Online Coach 1/2 Clinic 

Coach 1 is required to coach in the U7 & U9 divisions.

Coach 2 is required for U11 to U21 C and U11A Rep. The program is delivered in two parts. In Part A, you complete the online program which covers topics such as The Coaching Code of Ethics, Skills, Drills and Thrills, Dealing with Athletes, Dealing with Parents, and the Philosophy of Coaching. In Part B, you attend classroom and on-ice sessions.

Once you have successfully completed your clinic fill out the course reimbursement form.

If you have any questions about the above matters feel free to contact Wayne Carleton, the Richmond Jets Executive Director.
