Trainers (Whitby Minor Hockey)

The OMHA requires all teams to have a qualified Trainer.  

Team officials within different divisions and levels of play will require further CAC Training/Certification.

2024-25 Bench Staff Qualifications - pending from OMHA 
The Trainer course is offered online and takes about four hours to complete. 

In addition to this, all Trainers must complete the Respect in Sport | Activity Leader course and the Gender Identity & Expression course.

WMHA volunteers are required to submit a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) to WMHA every two years. To obtain a VSC please visit the DRPS website. The cost is partially subsidized with a volunteer verification letter from WMHA. Please contact us at [email protected] for more details.
