Coaches will...


1.  Agree to follow all rules and regulations of the organization.
2.  Treat all players with respect, keeping in mind how they would want their own children to be treated.
3.  Focus on player development at the atom and peewee level, and adopt a more competitive focus at the bantam and midget level (as per Hockey Canada’s Long Term Player Development Plan).
4.  Be aware that their goal is to encourage and develop sportsmanship, skill, and love of the game of hockey.
5.  Conduct themselves in an exemplary manner, and behave in a way that they are a credit to their team, the PCMHA, and the game.
6.  Deal with parent concerns in a manner that is constructive and respectful.

 

Parents Code of Conduct

Parents within PCMHA are expected to be “team players”, who support their kids, coaches, and the organization, and who believe in building a positive, respectful atmosphere.

Parents will...


1.  Agree to follow all rules and regulations of the organization.
2.  Support the coaching staff of their child’s team, and the organization.
3.  Behave in a respectful manner toward officials, and opponents (including players, coaches and parents).
