PARA ICE HOCKEY EDUCATION

World Para Ice Hockey works with a number of education partners to train and develop coaches, classifiers and officials to work within the sport of Para ice hockey.

In response to the growth and development of the sport, we are seeking to expand and develop our pool of certified coaches, classifiers and technical officials.

World Para Ice Hockey will support you through your further and continuous training and development. Our pathway programme outlines how you can progress in your training and development through national, regional and international sport events. 

World Para Ice Hockey both organises our own training courses and programmes and we also welcome initiatives from National Paralympic Committees, National Federations and Local Organising Committees to host education programmes and training courses. Completed forms can be returned to [email protected]
