A pre-season message from Kris Wing, USA Hockey's Coach-in-Chief for Female Development about clinics, monthly mentoring sessions, and network with other coaches.
August 8, 2023 via e-mail
Hello from USA Hockey - My name is Kris Wing and I am the Coach-in-Chief for Female Development. One of our missions is to grow the number of female coaches in USAH.
This year we will be offering coaching clinics at levels 1 - 4 supporting our female coaches and coaches of female athletes. There will be a set of clinics for female coaches only and another set of clinics for any coach who is coaching females. I am including the dates for these clinics with a private link below each date to be used for registration purposes. If you do not see a clinic date that works for you, please check the USAH coaching site after September for additional clinics. Please feel free to reach each out to me if I can help or assist you in any way.
