ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY |
You'll laugh when you see these Canadian public service announcements. But, they also really drive home why FYHA promotes the zero tolerance policy.
Relax. It's Just A Game.
FYHA supports USA Hockey's Zero Tolerance policy regarding sportsmanship and parent conduct during games. Physical abuse, verbal abuse or threats in any form shall not be directed at any on-ice or off-ice officials, rink staff, tournament officials, players, coaches, parents or fans. This includes, but is not limited to, shouting at referees, insulting opposing team players or taunting opposing team parents. In general, any conduct that is not suitable for an amateur athletic event is strictly prohibited. The "zero tolerance" rule applies to all coaches, players, fans, parents, or other individuals associated with the Fishers Youth Hockey Association. It includes acts performed at any time before, during or after a game. Conduct inside or outside the arena is covered by the rule. Parents who yell at players, coaches or referees/linesmen over the glass from the stands may be asked to leave the facility. Each age level Commissioner, Board Representative and rink employee has the right to investigate and address any disciplinary matters of players, coaches, parent or spectator before they escalate into larger problems. Depending on the severity of a player, parent, spectator or coach infraction, the Executive Board has the discretion to initiate a hearing with the Disciplinary Committee.
Parents, Please Remember....
Let the Coaches Coach.
Let the Refs Officiate.
Let the Players Play.
It is only a Game! |
