CRMHA is committed to providing a safe, positive, and rewarding hockey experience for all participants.
To support this goal, Hockey Canada, BC Hockey, and VIAHA require volunteers to complete specific certifications and training based on their role.
The information below will help you determine which certifications are required and where to complete them.
The easiest way to determine what certifications you currently hold and what training is still required is through your Hockey Canada / Spordle profile.
Before viewing qualifications and certifications, ensure all family members are linked to your Spordle account.
Once your family members are linked, you can view your current certifications, expiry dates, and outstanding requirements.
