Coach/Manager Information
Shawano Hockey League is a 100% volunteer organization. Our coaches are here because they enjoy coaching kids and they love the game of hockey.
We are always looking for parents willing to help out whether it's coaching, just being a helper on the ice or being a team manager. If you're interested please feel free to contact your child's head coach, SHL Program Director, or the SHL Board President for more info.

Coach and Team Manager Information
An important change has been made by USA Hockey regarding coaching credentials and requirements. All coaches must register with USA Hockey and successfully complete Background Screening, SafeSport Training, and appropriate Age-Specific Module. Coaching Education Program (CEP) requirement needs to be completed by December 31st. A coach will NOT be allowed on the ice before completing the requirements. Please click on the links below for more information.
All SHL Coaches are eligible for reimbursement of USA Hockey Fee, Background Check fee, Age Specific Modules and CEP clinic fees. Please keep track of expenses and turn into the SHL Treasurer.
Coach's Code of Conduct
- Winning is a consideration, but not the only one, nor the most important one. Care more about the child than winning the game. Remember, players are involved in hockey for fun and enjoyment.
- Be a positive role model to your players. Display emotional maturity and be alert to the physical safety of players.
- Be generous with your praise when it is deserved; be consistent and honest; be fair and just; do not criticize players publicly; learn to be a more effective communicator and coach; don’t yell at players.
- Adjust to personal needs and problems of players; be a good listener; never verbally or physically abuse a player or official; give all players the opportunity to improve their skills, gain confidence and develop self-esteem; teach players the basics.
- Organize practices that are fun and challenging for your players. Familiarize yourself with the rules, techniques and strategies of hockey; encourage all your players to be team players.
- Maintain an open line of communication with your players’ parents. Explain the goals and objectives of your association.
- Be concerned with the overall development of your players. Stress good health habits and clean living.
- To play the game is great, to love the game is greater.
