The Grosse Pointe Hockey Association is accepting applications for coaches for the Spring/Fall season. Applications to coach are due by Febuary 15, 2012.

Team Rostering Process & Examples
The following information will be needed in order to roster your player for a team:
1) Copy of player's birth certificate
2) Consent to Treat
3) USA Hockey registration (copy of email confirmation)
Go to USAHockey.org and choose Membership on the navigation bar across
the top. I think the fee is $35. Please forward your email
to your manager so they have it for the rostering package.
4) Participant Code of Conduct
5) Parent Code of Conduct
6) GPHA Membership Agreement
Coaches:
1) Background Screening (copy of email confirmation)
Go to MAHA.org and choose Forms & Info across the top, then choose
Background Check on the left-hand side. According to the MAHA
website, they have included the Coaches Ethics Agreement within the
Background check so that is no longer necessary to complete
separately. Please forward your email confirmation to your manager for their rostering package
2) Participant Code of Conduct
3) Consent to Treat
4) Copy of both sides of coaches card

SCSRA Referee Scheduling
Any GPHA teams (both Travel and House) that schedule their own games, need to use the following directions:
1) Go to http://www.hometownteamz.com/signup.php?type=rrs
2) Create a “Referee Request” Account. A new user account will be granted.
3) Email your User Name to Greg White at greg@scsra.com and icerefchief@yahoo.com and copy Jimmy Haddad at icefireref@yahoo.com.
4) Greg/Jimmy will add the username to their system, at which time the team may begin to login will then work for scsra.com (the “Request System” link at the top of the SCSRA website) and request referees.
5) You will then be able to login, request referees, its, etc., all from scsra.com
Behind The Bench
- Verify you are at the correct CEP level and if not, get there by 12/31/2008. No waivers this year. Here is a link to the USA Hockey website.
- See the Parents tab for instructions to register yourself with USA hockey for insurance purposes.
- Go to https://www.maha.org/CoachingBackgroundCheck.aspx to fill out the MAHA background check.
MAHA notes and rules:
- Coaches must bring their cards to every game.
- Coaches must sign every score sheet.
- There should be no parent/player games or non-rostered players on the ice or behind the bench during practices or games. These situations invalidate insurance.
- USA Hockey & MAHA have revised the Helmet Rule
to include independent contractors/instructors:
RISK MANAGEMENT
All ice hockey coaches and instructors of registered USA Hockey youth, high school, disabled, girls/women’s 19&under and below programs must wear an ice hockey helmet during all on ice sessions, including practices, controlled scrimmages and coach and referee clinics (seminars), with the exception of when a team official is tending to an injured player. Any team personnel found in violation of this rule by their District Council shall be subject to a recommended suspension of not less than 30 days, compromise their responsibilities or reduce the public's trust in coaching and/or coaches. Coaches are concerned about the ethical compliance of their colleagues' conduct. When appropriate, they consult with their colleagues in order to prevent or avoid unethical conduct.
