|
I will not force my child to
participate in hockey.
|
|
I will remember that my child plays hockey
for his or her enjoyment, not mine.
|
|
|
I will encourage my child to play by
the rules and to resolve conflicts without
resorting to hostility or violence.
|
|
I will teach my child that doing one's best is
as important as winning, so that my child
will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game.
|
|
|
I will make my child feel like a winner
every time by offering praise for competing
fairly and trying hard.
|
|
I will never ridicule or yell at my child for
making a mistake or losing a competition.
|
|
|
I will remember that children learn best
by example. I will applaud good plays
of my child's team and their opponents.
|
|
I will never question the official's judgement
or honesty in public.
|
|
|
I will support all efforts to remove verbal
and physical abuse from children's
hockey activities.
|
|
I will respect and show appreciation for
the coaches who give their time freely to
provide hockey experiences for my child.
|
|
|
I will remember that I am a adult, and that minor hockey is
for children and not adults.
I will work in cooperation with officials for the benefit of the game.
