ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
All Coaches, Team Managers, Locker Room Monitors, Board Members, Coordinators, and any other volunteer that will have regular contact with or authority over WYHA players are required to complete the following registration steps. Follow the steps on the Volunteering page to complete your requirements. It is strongly recommended to get a head start on these requirements early in the season or pre-season to ensure you are compliant. Lack of compliance will result in being unable to do the role (ex. a Coach will not be allowed on the ice).
Team Confirmation of LRM Approach
Per the policy, once teams are formed, Coaches and Team Managers will receive an email asking for their team to confirm their LRM(s). Only LRMs listed on the official USA Hockey roster can ever enter the locker room as an LRM. Coaches will be listed as coaches on the official USA Hockey roster and can act as an LRM. Coaches will not be listed as an LRM on the official USA Hockey roster.
Each Team Manager must provide WYHA with a written statement describing the Enforcement Option their team is taking for locker room monitoring Responsibility & Enforcement, including affirmation that Safesport certification has been obtained if parents are serving as LRMs. This email needs to be sent to ProgramAdmin@Wayzatahockey.org
