Safety and Risk Management

Keeping all BC Hockey members safe is our top priority, not only dealing with physical injuries, including concussions, but also mental wellness and ensuring our dressing rooms, stands and events are a safe haven for everyone. We hope all the information and links you require are listed below, but please contact BC Hockey should you require further information at info@bchockey.net or 250.652.2978.

HOCKEY CANADA SAFETY PROGRAM		RESPECT IN SPORT		CONCUSSION AWARENESS
Did you know that every team must have an HCSP certified person? This volunteer role must be filled by a parent on every team and the certification is good for three (3) years.		Coaches are required to take this online course, and it is highly recommended for parents and players so we are all on the same page on dealing with situations.		Cattonline.com provides up-to-date concussion awareness for parents and coaches. It includes resources to effectively prevent, recognize and manage a players recovery.
