ALL coaches MUST be wearing helmets on the ice during all practices.  This includes house and travel teams, as well as clinics. The rule is simple and does require 100% compliance by all CHC member programs and their coaches. 

The rule is as follows.  A “modern” helmet must be used at all times when a coach is on the ice.  Enforcement is made through the punishment for each offense: 1^st infraction = Warning; 2^nd infraction = 1-game suspension; 3^rd infraction = Match penalty.  Sanctions may also be imposed upon the program for wanton disregard of this rule.

This is USA Hockey Policy, CHC Policy and Winter Club HPC policy.  There will be no exceptions, regardles of when, where and how our practices are conducted.
