The Hockey Trainer Certification Program [HTCP] is a risk management and safety education program for the volunteer hockey trainer. The HTCP is designed to educate people in the prevention, recognition and treatment of hockey related injuries. The ultimate goal of the program is to have all Hockey Trainers implement effective risk management on their own teams, where safety is the first priority at all times, both on and off the ice. The HTCP offers three levels of certification which are designed to assist the individual trainer as his or her experience grows.
