Getting Started Guide for Association Directors

Welcome to IHS For Associations; a comprehensive platform that provides world class content and tools for coaches, players, and parents. Below is a guide that gives tips and displays tutorial videos to help you and your association get the most out of the platform.

IHS Association Features

  • IHS Memberships for Every Coach in your Association
  • Shared Association Libraries to keep Practices, Drills, Systems & Off-Ice content organized for years to come
  • Access to Player Development Content for Every Player
  • Access to The Parent Survival Guide (by The Hockey Think Tank) for Every Parent
  • The ability for your Director to Create and Recommend content to the association
  • Drill Drawing, Video Uploads, Practice Planner, Collaboration Tools & Much More

As a director you can be as hands on or as hands off as you would like. Just getting all of your coaches an account with IHS is a huge win for your association as they can access all of our content and tools on their own.

With that being said, we do encourage that associations use the full scope of our tools to take the platform to the next level. Below is our video guide for Association Directors (or whoever is in charge of managing the IHS account) on how to best utilize our platform. We highly encourage you to browse through IHS and test some of the tools before adding all of your coaches. It will give you a better understanding on how IHS for Associations works and how you can best utilize it for your coaches, players and parents.
