A Code for Hockey, and Life…... The hockey season is flying by, and years end tournaments will be here before you know it. As we approach this point in the season, and the games often have more on the line, it’s important to make sure we maintain the highest level of sportsmanship from the stands as we support our youth teams. Just as our players sign a Player Code of Conduct at the beginning of each season, our rules and regulations also include a Parent’s Code of Ethics. Here’s an excerpt from that section: A. I AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING: 1. Remember that youth are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment, not mine. 2. Encourage players to abide by the rules of the game. 3. Communicate to children that an honest effort is more important than winning. 4. Turn defeat into victory by helping my child work towards skill development and good sportsmanship. 5. Remember that all players’ experiences and development are important. 6. Always conduct myself in a positive manner by respecting other parents, players, coaches, and officials. 7. Recognize that the coaches, not parents, are the primary source of instruction and authority in the game. 8. Recognize the value, authority, and importance of our coaches and team interest. 9. Adhere to the rules and enforce “the Player’s Code of Ethics” of the association for their child. With the intent of assisting our players to become better citizens and aid in providing our youth with a set of safe and enjoyable experiences; each parent will recognize and participate in correcting of their child’s behavior and following through on agreements. B. I AGREE NOT TO: 1. Force an unwilling child to participate in MYHA. 2. Publicly criticize or ridicule a coach, player, or official. 3. Condone physical or verbal abuse of players. Let’s all do our best to create a positive, supportive environment for our players, and represent Moorhead Youth Hockey in the best possible manner. Enjoy the rest of the season!
