2025-26 Vulnerable Sector Check Volunteer Letter Request

The Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) has centralized the screening process for all Team Officials and Team Personnel for the 2024-25 season. These individuals must adhere to the OHF Screening Policy. The new OHF Screening Process involves the completion of 3 steps:

  1. Obtaining an approved Vulnerable Sector Check from your local police service. (PDF)
  2. Completion and signing of an OHF Screening Declaration Form. (PDF)
  3. Submitting both documents to the OHF Screening Submission Portal.

This is the first step in the three-step process.
