Please review the Hockey Nova Scotia coaching qualifications chart - https://hockeynovascotia.ca/coach/coaching-requirements/ - to ensure you are aware of the required courses & clinics you need to have completed for the level you are requesting to coach.

Interviews for some coaching positions with the potential candidates will take place prior to evaluations/balancing and a recommendation will be made to the MEI Executive for a final decision. Recommendation is based on up to date qualifications, coaching background, and experience plus demonstrated leadership skills.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Matt Denine, Vice-President of Hockey Operations, at vphockey@metroeastinferno.ca

COACHING APPLICATION FORM

IN A NUTSHELL... 2025-26:

• Players may be automatically wait-listed during the registration process, as we monitor the number of players and projected teams per age division. Our intention is to always provide a place for everyone to play, but team roster spots are limited. Wait-lists allow us to consider alternatives to overrostering (beyond 15 skaters per team). Register early!
