PLAYER’S CODE (SLMHA MANUAL OF OPERATIONS)

 

1) Play for the “fun of it”, not just to please your parents or coach.

2) Play by the rules.

3) Never argue with the officials’ decisions. Let your captain or coach ask any necessary questions.

4) Control your temper – no “mouthing off”, no abusive language, no tantrums, no breaking sticks, no throwing gloves or other equipment.

5) Work equally hard for yourself and your team – your team’s performance will benefit and so will your own.

6) Be a good sport. Cheer all good plays, whether your team’s or your opponents’. Learn to lose “well” and win “well”.

7) Treat all your players as you yourself would like to be treated. Don’t interfere with, take unfair advantage, bully or intent to injure any player.

8) Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve your skills and feel good. Don’t be a show-off or always try to get the most points or penalties.

9) Cooperate with your coaches, teammates and opponents, for without them, you don’t have a game.

10) Remember that you are representing yourself, your parents, your team and your community, association and sponsor at all times, including to and from the arena.

11) Follow guidelines for dress code that may be set out by the team officials or the association.

12) Will not convey or distribute offensive, derogatory, libelous or defamatory comments about any other member including, but not limited to, coaches, players, parents, trainers, managers and officials, by way of electronic text, email, message boards, social media or other electronic medium which may be viewed or received by members of the public and/or a significant number of members of the Association.
