All referees who are/will be 18 years or older before December 31, 2023 must ensure their Criminal Record Check will be valid for the coming hockey season. You can confirm this by going to your Hockey Canada Registry HCR 3.0 account. https://register.
It is under the CRC tab. You can not register for a clinic if it is out of date. The process takes time, do not delay.
