Background Screening
CLEARED FOR BACKGROUND SCREEN ONLY
Disclaimer: Coaches are not included on this list and must be verified with the registrar of their organization. All additional requirements must be verified by the individual or organization.
If you are in a position of authority over or have regular contact with USA Hockey athletes, including without limitation a staff member, official, coach, board member, coordinator, local program administrator, trainer, locker room monitor, independent contractor, volunteer, medical personnel, or another person with authority over or have regular contact with USA Hockey athletes, then you are required to complete a background check as a condition of your involvement. However, if you completed a background check after April 1, 2019, for the 2019-20 season, then that background check is valid for the 2020-21 season and you will not need to complete a background check until the 2021-22 season. If your most recent screen is from prior to April 1, 2019, you will need to complete a new screen prior to this upcoming season. Background checks are conducted by USA Hockey's screening vendor, the National Center for Safety Initiatives ("NCSI"). To complete your background check with NCSI and to be eligible to coach or serve in any other position where you have regular contact with or authority over minor athletes, please go to https://www.usahockey.com/backgroundscreen.
