Youth hockey is uniquely high-contact off the ice: locker rooms, early-morning practices, and long travel to tournaments mean coaches, managers, and locker-room monitors spend sustained, sometimes low-visibility time with players. Locker-room supervision and travel are exactly why associations emphasize screening every adult, and a $5 check makes it realistic across a full association roster.
VolunteerBadge runs a full national criminal background check across 650M+ county, state, and federal court records, sex-offender registries in all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC/global watchlists — with a free SSN-traced address-history check on every applicant, no per-seat fees, and no annual contract.
Because verifying the human matters as much as searching the name, VolunteerBadge confirms each coach with a government photo ID and a biometric selfie matched to the ID.
