Deadlines for Submitting Information

If any of these requirements are not provided to the WGMHA by the required date, the applicable staff member is not permitted to participate with the team until the requirement is met and approved by us.

REP teams with Spring Tryouts

  • ALL staff MUST register on RAMP as staff by June 15th. 
  • ALL staff MUST have all required courses AND their VSC/Declaration approved by the OHF by August 1st.

Teams that fail to meet this date will lose one practice for each week they are late in completing these requirements.  The only exception would be if a required D1 course is not available, in which case we will require proof of registration in the required course.

  • ALL staff MUST register on RAMP as staff by September 25th. 
  • ALL staff MUST have all required courses AND their VSC/Declaration approved by the OHF by September 30th.

Register on RAMP

All Team Staff must:

  • register with the OWHA on RAMP using the following link: RAMP REGISTRATION
  • On-Ice Helpers and Dressing Room Staff should select a role of ‘staff’ when they register on RAMP.

All Team Staff must provide the following to us:

  • Name, email and phone number.
  • Date of birth and address for anyone who is new to our Association.
  • Provide proof of the following:
    • NCCP number (this can be obtained on the Coaching Locker – thelocker.coach.ca)
    • Proof of Satisfactory Vulnerable Sector Check or receipt from the police for a police check that is in progress. An updated VSC is required every 3 years.
    • The required certifications as listed in the ‘Woolwich Wild Team Staff Requirements’ chart in this document.
    • If the required coaching course is not available until after the submission date, proof of registration in the applicable course and the date of that course must be provided.  The OWHA may then grant permission for the coach to continue on the bench or ice until the date of the course.  That permission does not extend to any tournaments.
  • All Team Staff must review the OWHA Rowan’s Law Concussion Awareness Resource and Code of Conduct.

 

Minimum Requirements

Please note the WGMHA certification requirements are more extensive than the minimum OWHA requirements.  This approach has been approved by the OWHA.

Deadline for submitting receipts

Be sure to hang on to your course and police check receipts.  You can submit them to the Woolwich Wild Treasurer and the Association will refund 100% of the cost once you are rostered with the team.  Refunds are only provided for courses required to be a coach, trainer, manager, On-Ice Helper or Dressing Room Staff member on a Woolwich Wild team.  The maximum refund for your Vulnerable Sector Check is $20.  We will only process the refund if the receipts are submitted by December 31st of the current season.
