How do I complete the Parent Program?
The program can be accessed through the HEO website, www.hockeyeasternontario.ca or directly at https://heoparent.respectgroupinc.com/secure/ (Disponible en français sur cette page). It is a one hour online curriculum with both audio and visual features that allows flexibility and does not have to be completed in one session.
Is this required every year?
No, once you have completed it you are certified for five years.
Linking Respect In Sports Certification
If you have completed the course previously but are registering a new child or need to link an existing player to your certificate with RMHA, then you must log into your profile and link your new player to the Respect in sports profile. To do this go to the Respect in Sport Parent log in page - https://heoparent.respectgroupinc.com/koala_final/. Log in (if you are unsure of your user name or password then you can use the Retrieve User Name and Retrieve Password links at the bottom left part of the screen). Once you are logged in, go to Profile (it's menu at the top of the screen) and then a menu will show up on the left side of the screen. You want the button that says Child Management. That will take you to a page that has a button where you can add your new player to your Profile. Once you add your player, then you can log off.
