To be eligible to coach hockey in Ontario, a coach must complete the OHF Screening Process. The process requires:
- A valid Vulnerable Sector Check.
- A signed OHF Screening Declaration Form.
Vulnerable Sector Check
A Vulnerable Sector Check is required by persons who volunteer in Canada and who will be in a position of authority or trust relative to vulnerable individuals. Vulnerable Sector Checks are conducted by the police service that has jurisdiction in the area in which the volunteer resides and are valid for three (3) years.
If you require a Vulnerable Sector Check, you must first request a Volunteer Letter from the Owen Sound Minor Hockey Group. Click here to request your Volunteer Letter.
OHF Screening Declaration Form
