Items for Bench Staff

Police Checks Required!

Each member of the bench staff, and any parent/adult who helps out on the ice, is required, by MDRA and the Ontario Ringette Association, to have a "police records check for persons seeking VOLUNTEER roles primarily to serve the vulnerable sector of the population" that was submitted within the last three years. Forms are available at the Leitrim Police Station (or any Ottawa Police station) as well as on this page. Usually individuals take care of submitting these themselves, but to make things simpler and faster, MDRA will submit all forms received by November 7th at the photo sessions. Along with the completed form, you must include copies of two pieces of allowable identification (see form for detail). Please complete this form, and submit it to your team manager by November 7th, where they will be collected and processed as a batch. If you miss this date, you will have to submit the form yourself. This is mandatory to continue working directly with the players.
