Volunteer Registration
All Board Members, Team Managers, Locker Room Monitors, Coordinators, and any 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.
*Please note, there is a separate registration for Coaches. If you serve as both a volunteer and a coach, please complete both registrations. Thank you!
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. Select membership type of Manager/Volunteer.
STEP 2 - NORTHERN LAKES VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION
Select the REGISTER button below.
PLEASE REGISTER with the same name you used with your USA Hockey Registration, i.e. Rebecca vs Becky, Nathan vs Nate
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 above 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 is available 60 days prior to the date of expiration. If your certification expires, you are ineligible to participate as a volunteer.
Not sure if your SafeSport Training is current? Follow the link above and access the US Center for SafeSport Training by logging in with your current USA Hockey Volunteer Confirmation Number and USA Hockey Password. (The screen will say MyHockeyHQ Portal Login.) Once logged in, it will show your SafeSport Training expiration date or your available SafeSport Training Courses.
If your registration is set to expire mid-season, a notification email will be sent to the email address on file with USA Hockey.
NLYHA TRAINING REIMBURSEMENT
All fees associated with training and coaching registration will be reimbursed by NLYHA.
