EVALUATOR APPLICATION 2026-2027 SEASON

Medicine Hat Minor Hockey Association is now accepting applications for independent evaluators for the 2026-27 season.

As we prepare for another exciting season, the player evaluation process plays a critical role in ensuring that every athlete has a fair opportunity to earn their place. We are looking for knowledgeable, impartial individuals who are passionate about hockey and committed to evaluating players objectively based on their skill, effort, and potential.

Serving as an evaluator is an important responsibility and requires a significant time commitment. Evaluators are expected to:

  • Attend mandatory evaluator training and/or planning meetings prior to evaluations.
  • Be available throughout the assigned evaluation process, which may take place over several days or weeks depending on registration numbers.
  • Provide fair, consistent, and unbiased assessments of all players.

To maintain the integrity of the evaluation process, applicants must not have a direct affiliation with the team or players they are evaluating.

Whether you have experience as a coach, former player, official, or hockey administrator, we encourage you to apply if you can contribute to a fair and positive evaluation process.

Apply today by completing the 2026-27 Medicine Hat Minor Hockey Evaluator Application here:

Questions? Please contact Nathan Crosby, General Manager at [email protected] for more information.

Thank you for helping us create a positive, transparent, and equitable experience for all MHMHA players.

The Shift Forward is Here: What You Need to Know for Registration

On April 1, 2026, Hockey Canada introduced The Shift Forward: Evolving Hockey Culture, a new learning and development program that is the home for national education and training courses.

As part of the response from the national Training Needs Analysis that was conducted by Hockey Canada, there was overwhelming feedback that national education and training courses should be age-appropriate, modernized, engaging, specific to how participants engage with hockey, and progressive as they go through their hockey journey, with content that seeks to evolve the culture of hockey on and off the ice.

In an effort to support a successful transition to The Shift Forward, Hockey Canada will continue to recognize existing certification—including Respect in Sport—as an equivalent as part of a multi-year phased in approach before all participants engaging with hockey will be required to complete The Shift Forward beginning in the 2028-29 season.

The Shift Forward courses will replace the previous:

  • Respect in Sport (RIS) – Parent
  • Respect in Sport (RIS) – Activity Leader

To support a smooth transition:

  • Existing RIS certifications will continue to be recognized until their current expiry dates.
  • New participants (parents, coaches, and volunteers) will be required to complete the Shift Forward program.
