Team Trainers

The team trainer is responsible for the safety, health, and well-being of all players during practices, games, and team events. This includes responding to injuries, providing basic first aid, and ensuring players are physically prepared to participate. Trainers help maintain a safe environment by monitoring equipment, enforcing safety protocols, and supporting return-to-play guidelines. They work closely with the coach, team officials, and parents to address any medical concerns and must hold the required certifications as outlined by Hockey Canada and EMHA.
