If you will be coaching your own child (or a spouse or relative’s child), please note: It is recommended that you choose to coach at a level where your child will be among the top 50% of players on the team. This tends to maximize the experience for the child, and minimize the discontent that often surfaces when the child of the coach is near the bottom of the team’s skill pool. It is the MMHA’s policy to place the most qualified coaches available with the highest level teams.

To cover those situations where a Team's Trainer is new to the MHL, the effective date for such certification will be the day following the date of the Final Convening Meeting in each Season. (i.e.: The first Monday of November). It is strongly recommended that all other teams have a certified Trainer registered to the team staff. You may indicate your desired trainer in this application. However, evaluations are player skill based and as such this does not guarantee that the individual listed on this application will be part of this team./p>

Note that the Head Coach and Trainer cannot be the same person. Also an Arena pass will not be granted to a Trainer without a valid HTCP number.

Coaches are chosen by the MMHA Coach Selection Committee based on a number of factors including experience, training, certification, player needs, parent evaluations, attitude, enthusiasm, dedication, history, and MMHA needs.
