CEP clinics are being held now through December at locations around Minnesota. Remember, coaches must attend one clinic each year until they at least reach a Level 3 certification by USA Hockey. The age-appropriate train- ing modules have been posted online and must be completed by all coaches before Dec. 31. The Minnesota Hockey Coach Development Programs are another great way to assist your coaches in improving their coaching skills. These free ses- sions aren't required like CEP clinics but can provide additional instruction on how to teach important skills. Our talented team of coaches will come directly to your association to host these two-part clinics that provide class- room and on-ice instruction. More details are available on the Minnesota Hockey Coaches webpage. The Minnesota Hockey Officials Association (MHOA) works with the USA Hockey Officiating Program to train hockey officials, ensure uniformity of rules interpretation and maintain the high- est standards of officiat- ing across the state. This year, MHOA and USA Hockey will be launching a new online education component that allows officials to make progress towards their certification on their own time, while reducing the amount of classroom time required at officiating seminars.
