🚨📢 All team staff (Coaches, Trainers, Bench Staff, Den Moms and Board of Directors) requires a valid Vulnerable Sector Check verified through the OHF Screening Submission Portal.
This can be a lengthy process, depending on your local police service. To ensure a smooth start to the 2025/26 season, we are requesting that Panther team staff (confirmed or potential) start this process as soon as possible.
