The Legacy Fund is Minnesota Hockey's newest grant program, and it's designed to assist
individuals, families, organizations or associations in need of financial support to overcome
hardships, or to overcome tragedies. The Legacy Fund has distributed over $82,000 to Minnesota
Hockey members during its existence.
There is no deadline for applications, although allocation decisions will be made on a first-come, first-
serve basis and continue until all resources are exhausted for the 2023-24 season. Those wishing
to help or support those in their local hockey community can fill out an application at any time.
Applications can be filled out online at minnesotahockey.org/legacyfund.
All coaches must enter USA Hockey's Coaching
Education Program (CEP) at Level 1 and continue
with a clinic each year until, at a minimum, they
achieve Level 4. Coaches must complete their
CEP clinic by Dec. 31. Effective in the 2023-24
season, coaching certification at Levels 4 and
5 is valid for three seasons, as indicated by the
expiration date. Before the expiration of their level
4 or 5, coaches must accumulate 5 credit hours
of continuing education by either attending a
Level 5 Symposium, or by attending other USA
Hockey continuing education clinics. The USA
Hockey clinic listings will indicate all continuing
education offerings and the credit value of each.
