Safety – Level 2
Those who have completed the Safety Program Online, and are a minimum of Standard First Aid, or Medical Professionals are eligible. Safety – Level 2 grants a maximum of an additional 3 years onto the initial expiry date from the Safety course. The new expiry date is relevant to the expiry of additional medical training and can continually be renewed and re-submitted up to the maximum of additional 3 years.
Certification is based on 100 per cent completion of the online Hockey University Safety program. There is no equivalency for this course.
The certification for this program is valid for a period of three (3) hockey seasons from the date of completion (expiring on September 1).
For those that have previously taken the in-person Hockey Canada Safety Program and have since had certification expire, completion of the Hockey University-Safety course will be required.
Those that have completed Level 1, and have current Standard First-Aid, or are medical professionals are eligible to apply for Level 2 status and extend their expiration date.
The Level 2 component of the Hockey Canada Safety Program (HCSP) is given to those who have completed the Hockey Canada Safety Program - Level 1 and have a minimum of current Standard First Aid, or are medical professionals.
Each participant wanting to be recognized at Level 2 must provide proof of certification to the Hockey Alberta office. The participant will then be updated to Level 2 on their Hockey Canada record, and provided a record of their new level and expiry date, as long as their Hockey Canada Safety Program is valid at that time. This level will extend their HCSP certification to a maximum of six years, based on the expiry of the First Aid certificate.
