TPMHA encourages and welcomes on-ice helpers!
The following guidelines are in place for on-ice helpers; the chart (link below) is provided to assist in ensuring all on-ice helpers are compliant with policies and expectations of the insurance program:
1. Any on-ice helpers must be a current registered member of BC Hockey / Hockey Canada. If the individual is not currently registered through a BC Hockey Member or as an Associate Member, the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) needs to be updated to include this person on the roster as a “volunteer” with the team(s).
2. Any helper, 16 years and older must take Respect in Sport - Activity Leader. Additionally, the helper must be under the direct supervision of the certified team officials. Concussion Awareness Training Tool is not mandatory for on-ice helpers.
3. Non-members offering coaching or other on-ice help for a fee are not volunteers, and therefore, must become a BC Hockey Associate Member prior to participation. Any person working in this capacity should not be rostered with a Minor Hockey Association (MHA).
4. MHAs are not to create “Volunteer” teams within the HCR for volunteers or executive members who do not participate in on-ice activities with the registered participants.
5. Application form for a Criminal Record Check can be obtained HERE (Access code: FY4HH6R6BN)
NOTE: Respect in Sport - Activity Leader is required for On-ice helpers. Respect in Sport - Parent will not be accepted.
