  3. Coaches must submit a notarized screening application to Missouri Hockey.

    Any adult involved with a team, in a coaching or managerial position, must submit a background check application as required by Missouri Hockey. A list of approved adults is maintained on Missouri Hockey's website. Once approved, these screenings must be renewed every three years. Once a coach is assigned to a team, this application must be submitted to our coaching director. CHA pays for up to three applications per team.
