Coaches Manual

Coaching can be a demanding endeavour. To make things a little easier,the KDMHA has put together a coaching manual detailing the coach's role, expectations, KDMHA insurance policies, and much more. Download the KDMHA Coaches Manual below.

Player Evaluation & Assessment Forms

Download forms that coaches can use to evaluate and assess players. The forms have been developed through the District 1 Coach Mentor program. The use of these forms are encouraged, however not a mandatory duty or responsibility for our coaches to perform.

If these evaluation forms are used, the recommendation is that they be used purely for individual player development information, that KDMHA’s information privacy policy be respected, and that any completed evaluation forms not be retained for any use by Player Selection Committees involved with future seasons.

On-Ice Volunteers

We understand that each year more and more players are interested in volunteering within the KDMHA hockey program. And that some of these volunteers are young adults wanting to collect high school volunteer hours, and/or are looking to take on a different role within hockey. It has become evident in recent years that older Minor Hockey players as well as Junior Hockey Players partake in practices with teams of lower divisions to assist and volunteer within their association.

To provide guidance to our members, while ensuring safe opportunities for our young “helpers”, please download the information sheet below.

Organizing Special Events

If coaches wish to organize extra curricular events outside of normal ice times, like off-ice practices or team social events, they should fill-in and submit an event request form. The form will extend the association's insurance to cover the event should anything happen. Forms should be submitted 72 hours prior to the event so that they can be processed in a timely manner.

Questions and Answers for Coaches

Q: Who is responsible for mailing in game sheets if the referee has to fill in a referee's game report?: A: In the case of a game report being done, if it is simple and can be done quickly, the referee should do it in the ref room and let the team manager send in the game sheet. If it is a more complicated report, the home team should send the envelope and white copy of the game sheet with the referee who is then responsible for sending it in to Barb Levere. Either way, the home team should bring the envelopes to the arena for all home games, just in case.
Q: What happens when a goaltender receives a penalty for a mouthguard infraction?: A: The mouthguard situation for the goalie is the same as for any other penalty to the goalie. If it is a minor penalty or a 10 minute misconduct, a skater on the ice must serve this time for the goaltender.
