Process for Returning Individuals for the 2025-26 season

Team Officials, On-Ice Officials, or Third-Party Instructors, etc. that are returning for the 2025-26 season, and had their screening approved by the OHF this past season
with a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) from 2023 or 2024, will only be required to complete the online declaration through the online submission portal for the upcoming
season. The declaration from 2024-25 will expire on May 31, 2025. 

Process for Returning Individuals with a 2022 VSC (expires May 31, 2025)

Team Officials, On-Ice Officials, or Third-Party Instructors, etc. that are returning for the 2025-26 season and had their screening approved by the OHF this past season
with a Vulnerable Sector Check from 2022 will be required to submit a new VSC and complete the online declaration for this season. Both are done through the 
online submission portal. The screening for these individuals will expire May 31, 2025.

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

The OHF will NOT be accepting any receipts for a VSC between the periods of April 1 and July 30, 2025. The police services generally take 6-8 weeks to process
an application, so anyone who is required to submit a VSC should start the process with their police service as soon as possible. They can then submit their
completed VSC to the OHF and complete the online declaration once they have had it returned to them by police services.
