The safety of the participants in the game is more important than the final score.
I value the contribution of the coach in developing the players talents, even though I may not always agree with their methods.
I understand that officials do not make the hockey rules, they only apply them.
I understand that children learn from adults, and my behaviour reflects what I want children to learn.
I understand that officials are responsible to ensure that the game is played in a safe and fair manner for all participants.
I understand that players, coaches and officials are learning the game, and mistakes will be made in the learning process.
I may not cheer for the opposition team, but I will also not cheer against them or verbally abuse them.
I understand that the biggest reason for players and officials quitting the game is abuse.
(How did you rate? If you checked off 0-2 Step back and check your motives for being involved in the game; 3-4 on your way; 5-6 almost there; 7-8 outstanding)
