USA Hockey SafeSport

The safety of its participants is of paramount importance to USA Hockey and WWFHA.  USA Hockey SafeSport is the organization’s program related to off-ice safety.

USA Hockey has long had systems in place to protect its participants from physical abuse, sexual abuse and other types of abuse and misconduct that can be harmful to youth hockey players and other participants.  These include without limitation Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Screening, Locker Room Supervision and Hazing Policies, in addition to Codes of Conduct applicable to administrators, coaches, officials, parents, players and spectators.  

The USA Hockey SafeSport Handbook is intended to update and collect USA Hockey’s various policies to protect its participants from all types of misconduct and abuse.

Notice to all SWHC Volunteers

Due to the USA Hockey SafeSport requirements, it is imperative that all SWHC volunteers are compliant with SafeSport training. 

In order for our registrar to provide an accurate account of who is due for SafeSport training and who is not, we need to have all coaches and off ice volunteers register in the SWHC system. 

Registration in the SWHC system must be completed as soon as possible.  Completion of the on-line SafeSport training must be completed BEFORE stepping on the ice as a coach.  All questions can be sent to the board – board@swhc.org.
