TAHA Announces New Coach’s Helmet Rule

Coaches’ Helmet Rule (Effective 7-1-08) - Because of lack of compliance by local on-ice coaches, TAHA has adopted the rule listed below that will be enforced for the 2008-09 season, effective July 1, 2008.  On-ice hockey coaches who are observed on the ice without any protective helmet will be subject to the following disciplinary action:

  • 1st offense – warning/reminder
  • 2nd offense – 30-day suspension
  • 3rd offense – coach is suspended for the rest of the season

Any hockey coach observed on the ice at a practice or USA Hockey sanctioned event should be reported immediately to the TAHA Vice President. The required information to be reported includes coach’s name, team, date, time, rink, and names of any witnesses to the incident. This information should be sent as soon as possible via email to the TAHA Vice President and Coach-in-Chief at the addresses provided below. Any questions regarding this rule should also be directed to their attention. For more information about this new rule, click here to visit the TAHA website.
