Respect in Sport

Hockey Alberta has instituted a mandatory Respect in Sport (RIS) Parent program with the goal to educate our membership for all new families to Hockey Calgary.  Recertification for current families is required every 4 years. If Respect in Sport (Parent) was taken prior to 2019, re-certification for the 2023-2024 season will be required.

If your RIS Parent is current and you have older children and are registering a younger sibling you are not required to complete the RIS again however you will have to add the new player to your RIS family profile.  To do this you will need to go into the child management area of the RIS site and add the newest child to your account.  Here is a link to help in this step: HERE.

RIS Parent and Coach are both transferrable from other sports, ie. Ringette, Lacrosse, Baseball, etc. For your reference, here are instructions for you to port your certification to hockey (RIS from soccer applies to Coach RIS only – parents do not take the course with the Calgary Minor Soccer Association.

To transfer a certificate from another organization to Hockey Alberta’s parent program a person needs to go to https://hockeyalbertaparent.respectgroupinc.com and choose to register a new user. The first field at the top of the registration page is where they will need to enter their existing certificate number and click check. Once it has been validated they will just need to complete the registration and the certificate will be ported and updated to the HCR.
