LHA Team Officials, Coaches & Skills Staff —
It’s time to complete your Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)!
If you’re working with children on behalf of the LHA — including coaches, trainers, managers, skills coaches, and on-ice volunteers — a current VSC is required.
Here’s what you need to know:
- A full VSC is required every 3 years (⚠️ It can take 6–8 weeks to process!)
- OHF Screening Declaration is required every year via the OHF Submission Portal
- The portal is now open for the 2026–2027 season
- Start here: https://www.ohf.on.ca/risk-management/vulnerable-sector-checks-vsc/
IMPORTANT: You won’t be added to your team roster until your VSC is complete!
