Becoming a Manager

The Team Manager oversees the operational aspects of the team. As Team Manager, you serve as the communication director, financial director, and team liaison. The Team Manager coordinates all off-ice tasks and shares pertinent information with players, parents, and coaches. This enables the coaches to focus on player development and on-ice instruction to provide players a rewarding hockey experience.

The Team Manager is not required to do it all. But rather, the team manager delegates to keep the team on-task throughout the season.

Below are all the links to the USA Hockey required trainings and registrations.

Team Managers are required to register with USA Hockey as a Manager/Volunteer. There is no registration fee for team managers. You will be prompted to enter your USA Hockey confirmation number into your Hyland Registration and SafeSport Training.

Once you have your USA Hockey confirmation number, please complete the Hyland Registration. When prompted to select a participant to register, select yourself OR choose + NEW PARTICIPANT and add your name and information for this volunteer registration.

On average, background screens take between 3-10 business days to complete. Cost is $30 for all domestic screens, which are valid for 2 seasons. USAH does not accept background checks completed for any other organization. Reimbursement of your background screen will come out of your TEAM ACCOUNT. Please ensure that your treasurer has added this cost into the team budget. USA Hockey has already entered your self-registration ID number on the first page of the screen. You do not need to change this number. 

SafeSport Training is required for all locker room monitors, managers and coaches. The log-in for Safe Sport Training is NEW for 2025-26 season. You will need a USA Hockey username and to create a new password. Select forgot username, if you do not have your username yet. Enter the requested information; an email will be sent with the username to your email that was used when registering for your membership.
