NEW RULES REGARDING COACHING CLINICS, CARDS, AND WAIVERS...

Coaches can now take all the coaching clinics needed to coach at the level they're currently coaching, in one season. If it means taking 3 clinics, then you'll be allowed to take 3 clinics. The clinics MUST be taken in order as required by USA Hockey. I.E. Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3, etc. Under the old rule, a new coach could only take a max of 2 clinics in one season, then apply for a waiver if more was needed. A stipulation of the new rule - coaches are only allowed to take the clinics needed for the level they're coaching.

Any coaches needing a waiver must apply for a temporary coaching card thru USA Hockey's Coaching Department in Colorado. The temporary coaching card is good for one season ONLY and must be applied for by Dec. 31st (postmark date). No waiver will be issued if postmarked after Dec. 31st, NO EXCEPTIONS. The waiver application must be mailed as no online waiver applications are available. As of Jan. 1st, you will not be allowed to coach until the temporary coaching card is issued so apply in a timely manner. You will incur a $50 fee for this one time temporary coaching card. You will only be allowed one temporary coaching card for the entire time you coach youth hockey so use this waiver wisely. And one final word on this - just because you apply for a temporary coaching card doesn't mean one will be automaticly issued to you. Denials may happen, with no appeal process allowed. To avoid all of this - go to the required clinics.

All Level 1 - 3 clinic fees have been increased by $5.

To find out Michigan Amateur Hockey Association's required coaching level certifications, contact your association's ACE Director or Hockey Director. The chart is listed on page 15 of MAHA's Annual Guide/Bylaws/Rules booklet. A copy is available in every association's office.
