Bench Staff Requirements 2020-2021 Season

The GTHL will be following Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) requirements for coaches entering the 2020-21 season. The outlined requirements will be for all coaches (house league, select, A, AA, & AAA) who wish to be rostered to a team. Previously trained coaches may already have many of these requirements.

A Development 1 “Certified” Status will not be a requirement in the 2020-21 season. High Performance 1 for U14 and above AAA will not be a requirement this season. Coaches with an expiring or expired certified status can continue to participate in professional development through the Coaching Association of Canada at coach.ca . The GTHL Development 1 certification process, which includes in person practice evaluations, will be put on hold until September of 2021. Trainer Level 2 will not be a requirement.

We anticipate that in the 2021/2022 season we will be able to provide full clinics similar to what we have previously provided either in-person, online, or in combination. 2020-21 coaches will be required to have the appropriate in-class clinic training when requirements revert fully back to normal. Coaches will have until October 7th to complete the requirements.
