Code of Conduct
Here is CWMHA Code of Conduct for your review. I wasn't able to have this available for our parents meeting so I thought I would post it here...
Players Code of Conduct
I will play hockey because I want to, not just because others or coaches want me to.
I will play by the rules of hockey, and in the spirit of the game.
I will control my temper – fighting and “mouthing off” can spoil the activity for everyone.
I will respect my opponents.
I will do my best to be a team player.
I will remember that winning isn’t everything, that having fun, improving skills, making friends and doing my best are also important.
I will acknowledge all good plays/performances, those of my team and my opponents.
I will remember that coaches and officials are there to help me. I will accept their decisions and show respect.
Parents Code of Conduct
I will not force my child to participate in hockey.
I will remember that my child plays hockey for his/her enjoyment, not for mine.
I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
I will teach my child that doing one’s best is as important as winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of the game.
I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly and trying hard.
I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a game.
I will remember that my child learns best by example. I will applaud good plays/performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.
I will never question the officials’ judgment or honesty in public.
I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s hockey games.
I will support and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches who give their time to coach hockey for my child.
