Background Check
Why Background Checks for Team Managers Matter at Rock Ridge Youth Hockey
At Rock Ridge Youth Hockey, player safety is our top priority. That’s why we require background checks for all team managers and volunteers who work closely with our athletes. These checks help ensure that every adult involved in our program is committed to creating a safe, positive, and trustworthy environment for our players.

Why Are Background Checks Important?
✅ Protecting Our Players – Background checks help prevent individuals with a history of misconduct from having direct access to young athletes.
✅ Creating a Safe Environment – Parents should feel confident that their children are surrounded by responsible and trustworthy adults.
✅ Aligning with SafeSport Standards – USA Hockey and SafeSport guidelines require background screenings to help prevent abuse and misconduct in youth sports.
✅ Building Trust in Our Organization – When parents, players, and the community see that we take safety seriously, it strengthens our program’s reputation and commitment to excellence.
