First, let us thank you for volunteering to be part of youth hockey in our community. As part of our team you share the responsibility of providing a safe environment for our children to enjoy. All volunteers who have direct contact with our players are required to submit a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC/Police Check). This includes Coaches, Trainers, Managers, and all bench staff or on ice personnel. Third-party consultants must also obtain a background check.
What do I do to get a VSC?
Please see our page on Police Check Information.
How long will my police check take?
We suggest you plan for a 6 – 8 weeks turn around and you submit your request as soon as possible to ensure you are compliant with the policies of Erin Hillsburgh Minor Hockey.
When is my police check due?
Bench staff cannot be added to an official roster until a valid VSC in on file with the OHF. You'll want to apply for a VSC as early as possible to ensure you are vetted before the start of play.
How do I get my completed documents?
You will get a .pdf file that you may upload to the OHF.
How long is my police check valid?
Your clearance will be deemed valid for three (3) years from the date it is authorized by your police agency. If you are not sure when you expire please contact Risk Management for confirmation.
