NYSAHA Screening Policy

updated 12/15/11

The New York State Amateur Hockey Association, in order to be in compliance with the Affiliate Agreement with USA Hockey, has instituted a policy to screen coaches, on-ice officials and volunteers who have contact with players, whether girls or boys, under the age of 18. This includes players and coaches who are over 18 playing or coaching on teams containing under 18 year old players, i.e. 19 & Under Women’s teams.

2011-2012 Volunteers (coaches and officials) screened between 1/1/09 and 12/6/11 >>>Updated List   

The Retired 2008 Confirmation Numbers file is a listing of people and confirmation numbers from 2008 that have to be re-screened if they haven’t already. This file is listed in Confirmation Number order so that associations can check that volunteers aren’t using outdated numbers. Many of these volunteers have subsequently re-screened since 2008. They must use their latest Confirmation Number, found in the Volunteers file, to complete their Association Screening form. 2008 numbers used on the Association Screening form will be rejected and the association notified. 2008 Link >>> Link
