Respect in Sport (RIS) Certification is a requirement of Hockey Calgary and Hockey Alberta in order to register your child in hockey.
***Important*** When beginning the course it is important to open "Child Management" and enter all children you are registering in hockey. All children must be listed here in order to associate your certification with your child's Hockey Canada record. To aide with connecting your certification to your child's record, children's names should be entered using the same spelling as when they were registered with Hockey Canada.
Please be sure you choose the correct association your child will be registered in to ensure your certificate is linked to your child's profile.

Respect in Sport Parent Edition provides information on a parents natural influence over their child, and the role they play in their child's enjoyment of a sport or activity.
