2007-2008 Membership Information

To become a COYIHOA member for the 2007-2008 season, you will need to complete the independent contractor form, a W-9, and the appropriate USA Hockey certifications. If you have not already filled one out, please download the Independent Contractor form from the right-hand side of the page and bring the completed contract to the next meeting you attend.

For USA Hockey certification, you needed to attend a yearly seminar. All local seminars have already been conducted; hopefully you have attended.

This form is available under "Downloads" on the right-hand side of the page. There should also be copies of this form at each rink within the referee's locker room.
