Any individual that is providing instruction on-ice or off-ice to Players through Team, Association, Members or OHF programming sanctioned by Hockey Canada.

Process of Registration for Third-Party Instructors:

• Complete screening through OHF Third-Party Instructor Screening Submission Portal.
  • Step by step instructions can be found here
• Complete Gender Identity and Expression Course and Respect in Sport – Activity Leader Course
• Register as an OHF Third-Party Instructor and pay for Hockey Canada insurance. Registration will include the Rowan’s Law waiver is completed in the HCR through this registration.

The Third-Party Instructor qualification is a new qualification in the HCR which indicates that the individual has completed their screening through the OHF, paid for Hockey Canada insurance, and completed the required Gender Identity and Expression Course, Respect in Sport – Activity Leader, and Rowan’s Law Waiver.

It is very likely that Third-Party Instructors will be providing services to several Associations. Associations are instructed to share that individual’s profile rather than changing the primary Association. This will ensure that the Third-Party Instructor can easily be rostered, and therefore provide services within several Associations throughout the year. There is no limit to the number of rosters a Third-Party Instructor can be added to.
