2024 Buffalo Thanksgiving Outdoor Classic at Riverworks

The 11U Whalers earned a commendable second-place finish in their initial tournament of the 24-25 season at the TCS Buffalo Thanksgiving Outdoor Classic. The division play was fiercely competitive throughout the weekend, and the team showed determination in the face of a snowstorm to bring home a trophy. Congratulations, Whalers!

IMPORTANT COACHING INFORMATION

Coaching Requirements    Consult the NY District and USAH
website to  stay current on the changes  and implementation.   To summarize:

1. Age Modules and current CEP are still  required. 

2. Deadlines remain the same nationally 12/31 of  the current season. The NY District deadlines  also remain in effect.   

3. Continuing education will be implemented: 

4. Once Level 4 is achieved, coaches will need to  complete 5 credit hours of Continuing  Education within each subsequent three‐year  period 

5. Effective in the 2021‐2022 season, coaching  certification at Levels 4 and 5 is valid for three  (3) seasons, as indicated by the expiration  date. Before the expiration of their level,  coaches must accumulate 5 credit hours of  continuing education by either taking Level 5,  or by attending other USA Hockey Continuing  Education clinics.

Current Certification Guidelines

• The Level 4 clinic was changed to a one-day event with a cost of $60.00 (the same as Level 1-3).

• A coach is required to advance one level each year. Level 1 must complete Level 2 the following season, and so on until they achieve Level 4 certification. Note that 8U coaches can remain at Level 1 until they start coaching another level (10U or above).

• Once a coach reaches Level 4 or 5, they will go into Continuing Education which requires five continuing education credits over a three-year period. A menu of continuing education courses will be available later in the fall.

Note - Coaches who complete their Level 4 or 5 certification before the start of the 2021-22 season and are not coaching a Tier I or Tier II team will be “grandfathered” and will not have to take additional courses but are encouraged to continue their education as well.
