In addition to the minimum coaching requirements, every coach, trainer, and on-ice helper must complete the following:
1. Create a Spordle profile for yourself, if you do not have one already. You require an active profile to ensure all qualifications are linked. https://spordle.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MyA/pages/2762080501/My+Account+-Set-Up
2. OHF Screening Process & VSC process. This is done entirely online through the OHF site. Follow the process and make sure to upload the correct document(s) and enter your HCR (Spordle) number at the very end, to link to your personal coaching profile. You should receive a confirmation email from the OHF, notifying you that the application is being reviewed. Vulnerable Sector Check Screening Submissions Portal | Ontario Hockey Federation
3. Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders course. This is an online course which only needs to be completed once. This course needs to be linked to your Spordle account. Make sure to import your certificate once you have completed the course, in the bottom left corner of the website. Respect in Sport Activity Leaders Course | OMHA
4. Gender Identity and Expression course. This is an online course which only needs to be completed once. It will automatically link to your Spordle profile once you have fully completed it. Gender Identity and Expression Course | Ontario Hockey Federation
