Mandatory Certification & Courses
Before you can submit a coaching application you will need to create a Spordle account and get a Hockey Canada Number (HCN).
To setup a Spordle account please following this setup guide:
https://spordle.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MyA/pages/2762080501/My+Account+-Set-Up
If you already have a HCN you can add it to your Spordle profile by doing the following:
- Navigate to your Spordle Dashboard
- On the left menu click on "Members"
- Click the "+" button to link a member
- Enter firstname, lastname, DOB and relationship (Myself)
- Click "Link Profile"
- If a profile is found it should find it for you and add it to your profile as a linked member
If you do not have a Hockey Canada Number or are unsure please email our registrar with your full name and birthdate and they can search for your account and request a HCN for you if needed.
If you have a HCN but it's not verifying properly during the coach registration process, please contact our registrar via email with your name and HCN as we may need to request permissions to use that HCN within our association.
PLEASE READ the Coaching Application process document BEFORE submitting your application.

All coaches and team volunteers who interact with our players must submit to a criminal record check. Please use the link/access code below to electronically submit a criminal record check. Our association does require this to be completed through this process so that it automatically updates into the Spordle application. There is no cost to you for this criminal record check.
