OHF Centralized Record Check

The process for the Vulnerable Sector Checks will be centralized and conducted by the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) for all Team Officials and Team Personnel for the 2024-25 season. This is in addition to the screening of all On-Ice Officials that has been in place for the past number of years

EVERYONE WHO WILL BE ROSTERED TO A TEAM FOR THE 24-25 SEASON, MUST SUBMIT A VSC (FROM THE 22-23 SEASON OR NEWER) ALONG WITH THE OHF DECLARATION THROUGH THE OHF VSC REGISTRATION.

The following individuals who are associated with the OHF, must adhere to the OHF Screening Policy and submit to the OHF:
