To locate or create a Hockey Canada ID number, you will need access to Spordle.

Locating or Creating a Hockey Canada ID

If you currently have Respect in Sport, it will remain VALID until its expiry. Upon expiry, Shift Forward will replace it

Heading into the 2026-2027 Hockey Canada will be launching The Shift Forward: Evolving Hockey Culture, a new learning and development program that is the home for national education and training with courses for coaches & parents/guardians.

The Shift Forward is an enhanced education program that was created following an extensive consultation process with stakeholders in Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs to understand how education and training can better support participants and the key objective of changing unhealthy behaviours in the game.

 In an effort to support a successful transition to The Shift Forward, Hockey Canada & Hockey Alberta continue to recognize existing Respect in Sport Certification for the duration of each individual's expiry.

One parent or guardian must complete this 1-hour online program BEFORE registering. Please select MCKNIGHT as your association, not Calgary. 

There is a nominal cost to the program.

IMPORTANT NOTICE -- A participant’s registration will be considered “incomplete” if the member does not have a valid expiry date on the Shift Forward or  Respect-In-Sport “PARENT” Certificate at the time of the participant's registration.
