Coaching Mentorship Program

Coaching - Mentorship

The National Coach Mentorship Program (NCMP) provides the human resource for coaches wishing to take their coaching to the next level. The purpose of the Mentorship program is a result of direct action Hockey Canada and its member Branches have taken since the Coaching Association of Canada’s evaluation of the NCCP in 1995 and the Molson Open Ice Summit on player development of 1999.

In both events, it was determined that the mentoring of coaches at all levels and specifically minor hockey is the key to the future growth of coaching in Canada. The ultimate outcome is improved athlete development through the establishment of a national coach mentoring program.

An essential part of the National Coach Mentorship Program is Specialty Clinics. These clinics aim at teaching specific skills that coaches can instantly transfer into a team practice. For more information, and to book a Specialty Clinic please visit our Specialty Clinics site.
