Hockey Canada ID
In order to register for a coaching clinic, you need a Hockey Canada Registry ID number. If you do not have one (if you have played minor hockey in the last 30 years you may already have one) please contact the registrar and provide your full legal name as it appears on drivers license, address, email, cell/mobile phone number, date and country of birth, and ethnicity.
If you have a Hockey Canada ID, you can login and check the status of all your credentials on their website
Criminal Records Check & Vulnerable Sector Check
New eCRC service
Identity verification: In the new eCRC system, an applicant’s identity is verified using their BC Services Card. If the applicant is using the BC Services Card to access the online service for first time, they will be directed to activate their card by video or in person through Service BC. Please note if applicants choose to activate their card in person, a mobile device is still required (iPhone, iPad, or Android).
BC Services Card Setup Instructions
As part of a criminal record check process, the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP) will conduct a Vulnerable Sector (VS) check. The VS check is a federally mandated standard set by the national RCMP. The process determines whether or not an applicant has a record suspension (formerly known as pardons) for a sexual offence.
Cost
There is no charge associated with activating a BC Services Card and the criminal record check fee (if applicable) has not changed.

Access Code: RDXVQWH9CU
Your CRC is valid for 3 years
Reporting new charges or convictions:
Applicants must report new criminal charges or convictions to their organization immediately if they work or volunteer with children or vulnerable adults.
Applicants must complete a new criminal record check which their organization will submit to the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP). Applicants cannot work or volunteer with vulnerable people until the consent form is submitted to the CRRP.
Respect in Sport
Respect in Sport is an online course for all hockey volunteers who have contact with players. It will take you about three hours to complete. You will have to pay for the program and you will be reimbursed for the expense once you have finished it.
When you register for the course, use the same email address that you used for your Hockey Canada Registry ID to ensure that your results are attached to your ID.
