Volunteering
Northern Lakes depends on its volunteers to support a quality hockey program for all our youth athletes.
Volunteer Registration Requirements
All Team Managers, Locker Room Monitors, Board Members, Coordinators, and any other volunteer that will have regular contact with or authority over NLYHA players are required to complete the following registration steps.
Game Day volunteers for penalty box, clock and scorekeeping are not required to register.
STEP 1: USA Hockey Registration
You must obtain your unique USA Hockey volunteer confirmation number for the current season. It will be required for all of the remaining steps. For most roles, select membership type "Volunteer/Manager".
STEP 2: Register with NLYHA
Register with NLYHA as a Volunteer via the link below. Please register with the same name you used with your USA Hockey Registration (ex. John vs. Jonathan or Elizabeth vs. Liz).
STEP 3: Background Screening
USAH requires background screening every two years. The cost is $30.
Not sure if you need a new background screen this year? Follow the link below and click through to Begin a New Background Screen. After you proceed past the welcome page and answer six short questions about your background, the next screen is titled Applicant Lookup. After you enter your last name, SSN and DOB, the system will tell you if you are ineligible to submit a background check at this time and must wait until next year.
Step 4: SafeSport Training
USAH requires SafeSport Training that must be renewed every 12 months. Training can begin 60 days prior to the date of the expiration. If your certificate expires you are ineligible to participate as a volunteer. To find out if your SafeSport Training is current, log in with your current USA Hockey Volunteer Confirmation Number and USA Hockey password. Once logged in, it will show your SafeSport Training expiration date or your available SafeSport training courses.
