CAHA Screening

All coaches and other adult personnel who come in contact with minors are required by CAHA and NORCAL to submit to a background check.

The CAHA screening coordiator is CAHA Director Wendy Goldstein. Her email is scahawendy@sbcglobal.net

The link to the screening procedures and process is:

http://www.usahockey.com//cahahockey/default.aspx?NAV=AF_12&ID=140118

Select "Screening Instructions" to begin. It's easier if you print out the Screening Instructions to aid in the process. The instructions provide information in the beginning that you need to accurately replicate. Once you begin the screening process, it takes approximately 8-10 minutes to complete and is very easy.
