Attention all new and returning bench staff, coaches & on-ice helpers: get ready for the upcoming season to avoid delays!
Visit the OHF's Ontario Screening Portal here.
Team Officials, On-Ice Officials, Third-Party Instructors, and others returning for the 2025–2026 season who had their screening approved by the OHF this past season — with a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) from 2023 or 2024 — will only need to complete the online declaration.
For new applicants, police services typically require 6–8 weeks to process VSC applications. The Ontario Hockey Federation strongly encourages anyone needing to submit a VSC to begin the process as soon as possible.
