2. All coaches, managers, and team volunteers (parents) MUST have undergone police screening and have obtained a Volunteer Card from either Dorval or Pointe-Claire. Bring 2 pieces of government ID to the front desk at Bob Birnie and fill in the form with the office attendant. A paper receipt will be given and a copy must be emailed to the HWI Registrar at registrar.hwi@gmail.com. Once a police screening check is on file with Hockey West Island, it is considered current for 2 years.
