At least one team official listed as a coach on a minor hockey team must attend a Bodychecking clinic by Feb.1 of the current season. (Female Minor coaches and Initiation coaches are exempt as long as no bodychecking is allowed in these divisions) This is also recommended at the Senior and Junior levels, but not mandatory.
