What is Fair Play?

There are four main participant groups involved in minor hockey games: the players, the coaches, the officials, and the parents/spectators. How these four groups interact determines how positive, or how negative an event becomes. A Fair Play program in any hockey association promotes SAFETY and RESPECT and a positive environment for all participants.

Fair Play Principles

• Respect the Rules
• Respect the Opponents
• Respect the Officials and Their Decisions
• Have Everyone Participate
• Maintain Your Self-Control at all Times

There is no level of hockey below the house level. If kids aren’t allowed to play at this level they have to drop out. The objective for all of Minor Hockey is skill development for all participants, not winning at any cost or to groom kids for elite hockey! All Minor Hockey Associations must constantly ask themselves “are all participants being treated fairly?”
