Respect the Coaching Staff 

• You will not agree with all coach decisions, practice plans and game plans.
  • This does not give you the right to interfere.
• Coaching your children off the ice will cause confusion and stress for the player.  Let the coaching staff take care of the players on the ice during games and at practice. 
• Be a positive influence for all players on the team.
• If you are going to be a constant negative party to the game, on and off the ice ….GO AWAY!

Verbal abuse of officials, coaches, opposing players or your own team is not acceptable behavior. If you are frustrated, remove yourself from the Arena before you have an outburst which will embarrass yourself, your child, and your Minor Hockey Association.  Watch the video on 11.4 available on BC Hockey website.
