PARENTAL CODE OF CONDUCT
Pursuant to Rule 15.07 of the PMHC Rules and Regulations, the parents or
guardians of a player are required to execute this PARENTAL CODE OF
CONDUCT as a condition precedent to their child being permitted to register to
play for the PMHC, and as a condition of their own membership in the PMHC. At
the start of each season, a player's parent(s) or guardian(s) each must execute
this document and submit it to the Player’s Head Coach prior to the player being
permitted to participate in any on-ice or off ice sessions.
Governing Standards of Conduct
1. I/we, the parent(s) or guardian(s) understand that my son/daughter being
selected to play hockey with the PMHC is a privilege and that full compliance
with this Code, and the Code of Conduct of the PMHC, is required at all times.
2. I/we, the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the player Participants, understand
that we must set an example, and conduct ourselves respectfully and with
courtesy towards everyone associated with the game at all times, and that and
that our team, the PMHC, I/we and my/our child will be judged by our behaviour.
3. I/we understand that any irresponsible or disrespectful behaviour in any
club facility and/or toward any Coach, Officials, players, or parents whether
before, during or after a game or practice is inappropriate and will not be
tolerated.
4. I/we understand that yelling, taunting, use of obscene gestures or
language, racial or ethnic slurs, or aggressive behaviour of any sort toward any
person or otherwise abusing another player, Official, Coach or spectator will not
be tolerated.
5. I/we understand that we must abide by and respect the officials and their
authority during any and all games. We will not question or confront officials
whether before, during or after the game.
6. I/we will not publicly criticize or question Coaches, teammates, opponents
or Officials and shall only raise our concerns privately in a civil and respectful
manner.
7. I/we understand that attendance at all games and practices is important to
the development of my child as a player, and of the team as a unit. I/we will do
my/our best to ensure that my child is at all scheduled on and off-ice activities,
unless injury or illness make that impossible.
8. I/we understand that winning is not everything and that having fun,
improving skills, making friends and learning sportsmanship is the primary goal of
the PMHC. Winning and losing will be done with equal grace and dignity.
9. I/we agree that the use of alcohol on team buses is strictly forbidden at
any time, and is an entirely inappropriate message to send to the players of any
age.
10. As such, I/we agree that the use of alcohol on any team bus may result in
my/our being banned from the team bus.
11. I/we understand that excessive use or abuse of alcohol at tournaments in
the presence of players is inappropriate and is to be avoided.
12. I/we understand that the use of alcohol in any amount in arena parking
lots or other public places prior to games, practices or participation in tournament
games, is inappropriate and unacceptable.
13. I/we understand that failure to abide by this Code will result in disciplinary
actions as set out in the Rules and Regulations.
I/we have reviewed this Parental Code of Conduct and agree to be bound
by the standards outlined above.
