The Ontario Hockey Association is happy to share that OHF High Performance 1 (HP1) Coaching Program process is open to candidates. Applications will be received by the OHF.
The High Performance 1 Coaching Program is an enriched development experience for coaches, which features online virtual, pre-recorded and in-class sessions. A post training written assignment and field evaluation will complete the certification process.
As mentioned above, the seminar (theory) will be delivered in three parts consisting of a National on-line virtual weekend (May 26-28), recorded modules, and an in-class session (July 7-9). This seminar will provide an exceptional opportunity for coaches to learn and will feature outstanding presenters who have vast experience within high performance coaching environments. Following the theory, coaches will further their development by completing, and receiving feedback on, a written assignment with support from a mentor. Participants will then be provided with an incredible opportunity for growth as a Hockey Canada trained Evaluator will observe a practice and game and conduct interviews on the ice sessions and the coach’s overall program.
Priority will be given to those coaches who require HP1 training for the 2023-2024 season.
All OJHL head coaches require HP1 certification.
