The OHF (Ontario Hockey Federation) now approves all volunteers' Vulnerable Sector Checks (VSCs). KMHA (and all Minor Hockey Associations) are not able to approve the checks themselves anymore.
Please read the following scenarios and follow the instructions that apply to your situation for the 2025/26 Season.
In all scenarios, you will need to know your Hockey Canada ID. Your Hockey Canada ID is found in Spordle. Those with our "Alliance" or co-ed leagues will use this system often. If you are with our OWHA or Lady Rangers leagues, or if you are having trouble locating your ID in Spordle, you can contact the office for your Hockey Canada ID. If you have never coached with any Hockey Canada member, you will need to create a Spordle/Hockey Canada account to obtain a Hockey Canada ID. Please email [email protected] if you need help.
