The ODHA has posted a 128 page manual called "Inside Coaching Hockey". The manual is available from this link.
The Ottawa District Hockey Association fully endorses "Inside Coaching Hockey" as a valuable resource. However, the ideas, opinions, and suggestions presented in this book are entirely those of its author, Richard K. Bercuson. They do not necessarily reflect either the views or any official stance of the ODHA.


Hockey Canada Coaching Level Reclassification --- From ODHA website
To: All Potential Development 2 Candidates - In recent communication with Hockey Canada, they have advised us (the ODHA) that the Developmental II Coaching Program has been reclassified and is no longer recognized as a Certification Clinic but now will be classified as a Professional Development Workshop for coaches. This new reclassification within the NCCP now removes the requirements for candidates to attend a Developmental II clinic in order to be eligible to participate in a High Performance 1 seminar. As a result of this change by Hockey Canada please be advised that we will not be hosting the proposed Developmental II clinic which had been tentatively scheduled for June 18-20. Considering this new development, the ODHA will be looking at the possibility of hosting a High Performance 1 as early as next year or within the next two years. Many thanks for your ongoing support and we look forward to your valued participation in the Hockey Canada/ODHA Coaching programs. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me or Jeff Baker at the ODHA office. Yours in hockey, Bob Byrnes Master Mentor/Coaching Coordinator
