| Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association: TEAM SAFETY |
| Hockey Canada Safety Program (HCSP) |

|
|
|
| All CMHA teams are required to have a designated “Safety” individual that is HCSP certified in attendance at all sanctioned events. The goal of the program is for the safety people to implement effective risk management programs with their own teams where player safety is the first priority at all times, both on and off the ice. |

Minor Hockey relies on volunteers at all levels and the CMHA is no exception. If you are thinking about volunteering or have already decided to step up, don't be intimidated by "Respect in Sport" or the HCSP course. They are designed for volunteers, not experts, so you don't need to know First Aid or even how to skate. All you need is a desire to get involved and help kids play the greatest sport ever!
The safety person is a volunteer who has become HCSP certified. This certification program must be successfully completed every six years in order to be a team’s safety person, even if the individual is a medical professional.
The safety person:
- must conduct regular checks of players’ equipment.
- is responsible for promoting proper warm up and conditioning techniques as a form of injury prevention.
- coordinates plans for road trips, tournaments, etc. and assists in the overall supervision of the team.
- establishes medical history files on every player and caries these files and the team first aid kit on every outing.
- implements an Emergency Action Plan for the team and through this is prepared to react in the event of accidents, injuries and medical emergencies.
- manages all injuries, learns to recognize serious injuries and refers injured players to qualified professionals.
- must assume a leadership role in promoting the values of safety, fair play and integrity.
