Fair Play Code for Parents

 

  1. I will not force my child to participate in hockey.
  2. I will remember that my child plays hockey for his or her enjoyment, not mine.
  3. I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
  4. 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 a game/event.
  5. I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly and trying hard.
  6. I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
  7. I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good plays/performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.
  8. I will never question the official’s judgment or honesty in public.
  9. I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s hockey activities.
  10. I will respect and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches who give their time to provide hockey experiences for my child.
