HISTORY
NATIONAL
COACH MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The
purpose of this program is a result of the direct action Hockey Canada
and its member Branches have taken since the Coaching Association of Canada’s
evaluation of the NCCP in 1995 and the Molson Open Ice Summit on player
development of 1999.
In
both events, it was determined that the mentoring of coaches at all levels
and specifically minor hockey is the key to the future growth of coaching
in Canada. The ultimate outcome is improved athlete development through
the establishment of a national coach mentoring program.
The
Orleans Minor Hockey Association is aware of the importance of the mentorship
model and is committed to the development of all of their coaches.
