Criminal Record Checks

Please CLICK HERE for the employee and volunteer screening policy regarding Criminal Record Checks.

The application for the CRC and VPC is required upon initial appointment, or upon the individual reaching the age of 18, and maintaining the position is contingent upon the results of the checks coming back satisfactory to BC Hockey. A CRC must be renewed as follows: a) Every five (5) years in the case of current BC Hockey Directors and employees; and b) Every three (3) years for all other positions, including volunteer positions.

If you require a criminal record check, it can be submitted online.
