Process for New Individuals
New Team Officials, On-Ice Officials, or Third-Party Instructors, etc. for the 2025-26 season will be
required to submit a VSC and complete the online declaration for this season.
New Individuals must register with their Association in the HCR prior to submitting their screening to the OHF.
Receipts
As of August 1, 2025, the OHF will begin accepting Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) receipts.
• If an individual has requested a VSC from their police service, either before or after August 1,
and has not yet received the completed document, they may now submit their receipt through
the screening portal and complete the online Declaration. This will make them eligible to
participate and be rostered while awaiting the results.
Anyone required to obtain and submit a VSC is strongly encouraged to request one as soon as
possible to avoid delays caused by police service processing times. Once the completed VSC is received from the police service, it must be uploaded through the screening portal as soon as possible to finalize the individual's screening status.
