All MLYH coaches are USA Hockey Certified. This means they have completed hours of online training, undergone background checks, and have attended in-person coaching sessions. MLYH adheres to the American Development Model, which stresses small-area games and drills to maximize the number of touches each child receives each practice session. Managers and volunteers are also required to register with USA Hockey and complete SafeSport training and a background screening.
