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.

Role of the Association

Create a ‘Senior Mixed’ team named “Insert Association Name – At Large - Third-Party Instructor”
Assign Third-Party Instructor to the above roster, ensuring their position states Third-Party Instructor.

Associations do not have to pay for Hockey Canada Insurance fees for these Third-Party Instructors.
