Code of Conduct

NS Wings Girls | Code of Conduct

PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT

Our program's focus is to create better hockey players, but also better people.

Players are expected to read and follow these rules, while part of the NS Wings program:

  • Always carry your own equipment bag and sticks.
  • Dress yourself in your equipment. If you need your parents to help you with your equipment, get dressed before you leave home. This includes skates!
  • Be ready, dressed and in the locker room at least 10 minutes before each ice time.
  • Take pre-game and pre-practice preparation seriously because it sets the tone for your on ice experience with the NS Wings.
  • It is your responsibility as a player to communicate with your coach in advance, if you plan on missing or being late to practice or a game.
  • There will be absolutely no fighting.
  • Negative attitudes and hurtful behavior will not be tolerated at any age.
  • Everything is earned, not given, in our program.

All disciplinary actions will be discussed between the coach and the owners before any action is taken.

PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT

  • An organization includes all players, coaches, volunteers, and parents. We consider parents to be an important part of the Wings program.
  • We ask that any questions or comments you may have regarding the team be addressed at an appropriate time with the coaches or owners.
  • We use the “24-hour” rule. The rule requires you to take 24 hours to think about your issues before addressing them with the staff. We also ask that any concerns be addressed away from the rink.
  • The locker rooms are off limits to parents.
  • We expect the players to dress themselves (if they cannot they will be asked to get dressed before coming to the rink). The locker room is a place for our young athletes to have as their own and to look within themselves and their teammates for answers.
  • Cheering and clapping in the stands is acceptable and encouraged. However, coaching from the stands is not acceptable. It is distracting to your child and aggravating to those around you.
  • Parents, players and coaches are required to act respectfully and in the spirit of good sportsmanship inside and outside the arena.
