| Under-7 | Coach 1 | Coach 1 |
| Under-9 | Coach 1 or Coach 2 | Coach 1 or Coach 2 |
| Under-11 | Coach 2 | Coach 2 + Checking 1 |
| Under-13 | Coach 2 | Coach 2 + Checking 1 |
| Under-15 AA, A, B, C, D | Coach 2 | Coach 2 + Checking 1 |

| Under-18 AAA | Development 1 | High Performance 1 |
All Manitoba coaches must also reach "Trained" status (online Hockey Canada modules, then a virtual coach clinic), complete Respect in Sport (online), complete the required instructional stream clinics and meet Hockey Manitoba's screening requirements.
