Volunteers (Oakville Hornets)

The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) requires all Team Staff members (Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Practice Staff, Trainers and Team Managers) to register themselves in RAMP (RAMP LINK) so they can be rostered on your team. Members who are not rostered on a team are NOT INSURED and therefore can not be on the bench or ice.

All parents entering the dressing room must also be registered in Ramp (Coach/Staff tab and choose “Staff”), although they do not get rostered. The reason for this is because they must have a valid VSC and CRC police check and Respect in Sports Activity leaders certification on file. Males are NOT allowed in dressing room at the U11 and above levels with the exception of Coaches. 

The Hornets do not accept hard copies of Police Checks at the office. Vulnerable Sector Checks (includes Criminal Record Checks) are valid for 3 years from date of issue and staff members must upload them in their profile in Ramp.  Please also upload your police check on the OHF site: Vulnerable Sector Checks | Ontario Hockey Federation (ohf.on.ca).

If waiting for a Police Check to arrive,  please upload your police check receipt. Please log back into the OFH site to upload your police check when you receive it. VSC’s applications are on Halton Police website (https://www.haltonpolice.ca/) or where staff member’s resides’ police station. Hockey Canada will verify all staff member's police checks and they will remove members from their team roster if they have not complied.  When you receive your VSC, please upload it in the OHF Screening portal.  
A volunteer letter is not required when only applying for VSC.  It only applies when applying for CRC.  Since VSC includes CRC, only apply for VSC (which does not require a letter from us).

For more information and the links to upload your police check/receipt, please visit the the OWHA website (www.owha.on.ca), and go to Bench Staff>Coaches.  (Training and Requirements)

 

Please see all levels of Coaching Requirements on the OWHA website (www.owha.on.ca), and go to Bench Staff>Coaches.  (Training and Requirements).  This list will provide you with the level of coaching certification for the team you are coaching.

 

NCCP is Coaches Certification number. If you do not have it yet or it is not required, please enter Pending or N/A to be able to continue your Ramp registration. When obtained, please log back in and enter it so the OWHA can approve you on your team’s roster.

To register for coaches clinics, please visit the OWHA's website (www.owha.on.ca), and go to the Bench Staff>Coaches Clinic tab.

Please forward ALL obtained certifications to the OWHA at  [email protected]. You may take a screenshot of your certification and forward to them with your name.  The OWHA will verify your required certifications according to your role with your team, and remove members from rosters who do not have the required certifications. Bench staff can not participate with the team if not listed on a roster. Information on hockey programs, coaching, trainers, player development and protocols including updates and bulletins can be found on our governing body, the OWHA. Their website is  www.owha.on.ca.  

 

To review your certifications, please see your Hockey Canada Registry profile here - Hockey Canada Profile. 

 

Log into your Spordle account and select “Link a Member” from your dashboard panel. You must then search for yourself using first name, last name and date of birth. If you choose you can also search for yourself by your HCR # if you have that. If not, simply enter your name and date of birth would be enough for the system to search the HCR database to find your profile. Once your profile is found, you have to link it to your Spordle account. After this, when you go back into your Spordle account, you will see 2 circles at the top with your initials in them. The one that has a golden crown is your Spordle account, the other would be your HCR profile. Under the member tab, click on this profile, and you will see the Qualification tab. This is where you will see all your qualification.  You will not see your qualifications if you look under your Spordle account.  

 

If you require further assistance, please follow the directions outlined in the document via the link below.  It will walk you through the process.

As in previous years, all House League teams are provided a TeamSnap team under the Hornets association umbrella to be used for scheduling and communication with players and their families. This TeamSnap team is synced to the association ice map so all Hornets practice and game ice will be added and, if necessary, updated automatically. The use of your TeamSnap team is mandatory, please do not create your own TeamSnap teams outside the Hornets association umbrella.

 

Please reach out to Ian Howe, our TeamSnap coordinator, at  [email protected] with any questions or issues regarding TeamSnap.
