Bench Staff Certification Requirements
It's never too early to get ready for next season!
To be rostered to a team or to a bench, you and/or parents and guardians must have proper qualifications and take mandatory courses per OMHA Regulations. (To go directly to the page you need, click on the links below).
If bench staff do not have all qualifications completed by the time the rosters are to be submitted to OMHA, you will not be able to be rostered on a team, and may make your team ineligible to be rostered causing a delay in the season for your young Stars.
To be rostered to a team and be on the bench, all bench staff require the following:
Gender Identity

Once you're qualified, contact Stephen Phillips so he can roster you to a team*.
*Approval of the Head Coach is required to be rostered
*You may not go on the bench or sign a game sheet until you're approved by OMHA and rostered
*Players will be rostered once the Respect in Sport - Parent course is complete and a birth certificate & proof of residence is received.
Millbrook Minor Hockey volunteers do not require a copy of your certificates. They will be linked to your HCR profile. If they're not linked, you are required to reach out to OMHA or the other course admin staff for assistance as MDMHA has no way to assist with the linking of courses to your HCR profile.
