Coaches

All coaches and assistant coaches serving within MHA must maintain the certifications required by USA Hockey and MAHA and agree to abide by the USA Hockey Code of Ethics. All required certifications must be completed by the deadlines established for the current season in order to be eligible to coach.

The Head Coach is ultimately responsible for their team. This includes responsibility for all team personnel, credentials, conduct, financial matters, and other aspects of team operations, in accordance with the bylaws, policies, and regulations of MHA, MAHA, and USA Hockey.

MHA Head Coaches are expected to serve as positive role models for the players selected or assigned to their team. As leaders and mentors, they are responsible not only for their own behavior and conduct but also for promoting appropriate conduct among their assistant coaches, team managers, players, parents, guardians, and other team representatives.

All Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and other coaching positions within MHA are volunteer roles. Coaches do not receive compensation, remuneration, or fringe benefits from MHA for serving in these positions.
