Team Manager Information

What is a team manager?

Team managers are responsible for coordination and communication between the players, families, coaches, and the association.

Manager registration process

*USA Hockey requires online registration on a yearly basis. Below are a few basic steps to complete before starting any managing activities with your team. You cannot be added to the roster until these are completed.

1. Register with USA Hockey (volunteer registration is free). Be sure to save your confirmation number, as you will need to provide to the registrar.

2. Complete the electronic background check. (These are good for two years. If you are unsure if you are due, you can start to complete and it will tell you if you're not due this season)

3. Complete USA Hockey Safe Sport Training. (Required every year. After the initial training a SafeSport refresher is required every year.)
