On-Ice volunteers
Equipment Requirements for On-Ice VolunteersThe question has been raised as to the mandatory equipment requirements by those individuals acting in the role of On-Ice Volunteer. For example, individuals assisting with IP program implementation, on-ice (parent / family) helpers, demonstrators, specialty (i.e. goaltender) coaches, etc. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate in contacting the OMHA office.OMHA Guidelines for equipment to be worn by individuals assisting as a volunteer in On-Ice activities are as follows:•
A volunteer who meets the minimum age requirement for CHIP Certification (i.e. 14 years and above), would be eligible to wear the same equipment as an On-Ice Team Officials. (i.e. CSA Certified Helmet, skates, gloves etc.)• A volunteer below the minimum age requirement for CHIP Certification (i.e. below 14 years), would be required to wear full player equipment.NOTE:On-Ice Volunteers must be at least two years older than the division age limit they are associated with.
