 Neither Coach 1 nor Coach 2 ascend higher than “Trained” status. Coach 1 delegates will receive “Trained” status immediately upon completion of the Coach 1 clinic. Coach 2 delegates will receive “Trained” status upon their MHA’s submission of their post-clinic task verification form to BC Hockey.

These coaching clinic updates will be discussed during October’s BC Hockey Return to Hockey Membership Video Conference on Friday, October 9, 2020.
