***IMPORTANT - Do not register for a course unless formally appointed by West Hants Minor Hockey to the position of Coach, Instructor, or Trainer. Anyone registering for courses before formally appointed will be personally responsible for the cost of the course.

 

Please note: As of 2023, Hockey NS has advised that Coaches will be required to pay Registration Fees for Training and Clinics up front. WHMHA will reimburse Coaches through a proof of certification process in the fall. Some certifications do not expire, while others like Criminal Records Checks and the Safety Course are required every three years.
