A current and valid City of Calgary Police Information Check (PIC) with a Vulnerable Sector Check is required for all volunteer positions, including Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches aged 18+. PICs are valid for the period based on the issue date and expire on May 31 of the third hockey season (e.g., a PIC issued on August 20, 2021, will expire on May 31, 2024).

PIC status is recorded in your Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) profile under Background Checks. To verify your PIC's validity, check your HCR 3.0 Spordle account. The "Expired On" date should be May 31, 2026 or later.

IMPORTANT: WCHL does not retain copies of PICs, so it’s recommended you save a copy for future reference. The WCHL Administrators no longer has access to view applicant results online. You must save and send a copy of your results for it to be entered in your HCR account. If you don’t save and send your results within 6 weeks of notification, they will expire and require re-application.

PICs from other organizations are valid if issued within the last 12 months. Please send a PDF/JPEG of the results to your Assocaition Administrator.

A PIC indicating a Relevant Offence (see below) will only be valid if approved by the Screening Committee.

If a current and valid PIC is not on file, Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches must provide proof of application prior to team assignment.
