Coaching - High Performance Stream

Coaching - Course Options - High Performance Stream

The NCCP High Performance Stream combines the theory of coaching with the on-ice application of coaching by integrating the seminar with our BC Hockey High Performance Program Athletes. In addition to classroom lectures and tasks, the selected coaches will coordinate and execute on-ice sessions and participate on the bench in game situations. While at the seminar the NCCP High Performance I coaches will be guided by some of the best leaders within BC and Canada.

The NCCP High Performance I Seminar is held every two (2) years in BC and is targeted at those coaches who have significant coaching experience, and want to pursue higher levels of coaching competitive athletes.
