Cowbell Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Organizations have random drug testing policies in place for all coaches/ assistant coaches, right? Or does that fall under the USA Hockey umbrella? I recall seeing something on SafeSport when I was poking around about testing of athletes suspected of drug use, but my question is more along the lines of random testing for coaches, like a pre-employment drug test or random testing from time to time for some professions involved with public safety. Just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifelongbender Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 If my organization has a random drug testing program, I don't know about it, and have never signed anything agreeing to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loach Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yeah, I've never heard of drug testing for coaches being done in youth hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spear and Magic Helmet Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I've been around hockey a while, but have never coached youth hockey. However, never heard of any kind of drug testing. Safesport training, yes. Drugs/alcohol, no. There was a case a few years back where a Bethel Park High School assistant coach had some issues with drugs, but I believe his trouble came to light when he was arrested. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/01/17/hockey-coachs-arrest-raising-questions-for-pa-interscholastic-hockey-league/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyisgreat Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think you would have to check with your organization to see if it is in their bylaws. Would be a nightmare to administer and who would pay for the tests. Highly unlikely that any org has such rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadday4hockey Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This person seems like someone who definitely has an axe to grind. Just appears the other day and now is trying to cause a shit storm on a public forum instead of just doing what any normal person would do and that's file the report. If in fact there is actually a report to file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifelongbender Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Or else he's a guy thinking about coaching and he smells like weed himself from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
