As we prepare for OMHA and Shamrock playoff series' the relative importance of these games can create a tendency for increased intensity and engagement by all of the stakeholders attending the game. We want to remind everyone of the code of conduct and fairplay that governs SMMHA. Please take a minute to review the key sections of the code posted below

 

15.3 Fair Play Codes of Conduct

 

The SMMHA Fair Play Codes of Conduct are an extension of the SMMHA Expected Standard of Ethical  Conduct and have been established to guide decision-making and actions of all SMMHA Members and Participants.

 

a. Fair Play Code For Players

 

Ø       I will play by the rules of hockey, and in the spirit of the game.

Ø       I will control my temper: fighting and "mouthing off" can spoil the activity for everybody.

Ø       I will do my best to be a true team player and function in the Team environment.

Ø       I will remember that winning isn't everything - that having fun, improving skills, making friends and doing my best are the most important aspect.

Ø       I will remember that coaches and officials are there to help me.

Ø       I will accept their decisions and show them respect.

 

b. Fair Play Code For Coaching Staff

Ø       I will be reasonable, remembering that players have other interests and obligations.

Ø       I  will teach my players to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials and opponents.

Ø       I will ensure that all players get equal instruction and support time.

Ø       I will not ridicule or yell at my players for making mistakes or for performing poorly.

Ø       I will  remember that players play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves.

Ø       I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the players ages and abilities.

Ø       I will remember that participants need a coach they can respect.

Ø       I will be generous with praise and set a good example.

Ø       I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills.

Ø       I will foster regular and effective communications with the parents.

Ø       I will ensure that locker room behavior is acceptable and non threatening for all participants.

Ø       I will remember that it is a privilege, not a right to coach.

Ø       I will give each team member a fair and honest chance to play.

Ø       I will obtain all necessary certifications and credentials as required by the St. Marys Minor Hockey Association. I will keep these certifications and credentials up-to-date and current for the entire season.

Ø       I will endeavor to ensure a safe environment for all players involved.

 

c. Fair Play Code For Parents/Guardians & Spectators

 

Ø       I will remember that participants play hockey for their own enjoyment.

Ø       I will not have unrealistic expectations. I will remember that players are not professionals and cannot be judged by  professional standards.

Ø       I will respect the officials' decisions and I will encourage participants to do the same.

Ø       I will never ridicule a player for making a mistake during a game.

Ø       I will give positive comments that motivate and encourage continued effort.

Ø       I will condemn the use of violence in any form and will express my disapproval  in an appropriate manner to coaches and league officials.

Ø       I will show respect for my team's opponents, because without them there would be no game.

Ø       I will not use bad language, nor will I harass players, coaches, officials or other spectators.

Ø       I will respect the coach's decisions and encourage open communications with them.
