IMPORTANT CLINIC INFORMATION

When registering for a coaching clinic or safety course, check if you already have a Hockey Canada ID/profile, DO NOT automatically choose 'register a new participant' and create a duplicate. If you have played hockey or coached/volunteered in the past then you will already have a Hockey Canada profile/ID# and are an existing member.  If the profile is residing with another province or association and not with Kelowna MHA, send me an email Sheena Parks registration@kelmha.com and Sheena will have the profile transferred to KMHA.  FYI to those that are completely new to spordle/HCR, our organization is Kelowna Minor Hockey, NOT Kelowna Rec or BC Hockey.

*All coach clinics must be completed by December 1st and show 'in process' prior to the the 1st.  If they are not completed, you are removed from the roster and not allowed on the ice or benches.  If you do not have a valid respect in sport or CATT you cannot be rostered and therefore cannot be on the ice or benches.  

Reimbursements

We do reimburse for all courses upon completion.  If you are doing multiple courses, send all your receipts at one time when you have completed everything.  Please do not email asking when you will receive your reimbursement.  Reimbursements will be done by e-Transfer.  Do not send any receipts prior to completion.  Receipts and certificates of completion can be submitted to Sheena accounting@kelmha.com
