SJAMHA is proud to endorse the Hockey Code of Conduct, which are
guidelines for acceptable conduct for Players, Parents, and Coaches
alike. This program promotes fair play and respect for all participants.
Conduct & Leadership
"To lead, develop and promote positive hockey experiences"
This statement is Hockey Canada's mission statement. SJAMHA full heartedly
supports this statement. Coaches and parents are the biggest contributors
to a young player's hockey experience. SJAMHA launched a pilot program
last season - the Conduct & Leadership Development Program. And issued
this vision statement:
The SJAMHA is the community leader in providing an environment where
every person can enjoy the game of hockey, all the while remembering
that it is a game for the kids
Conduct & Leadership will now be implemented throughout the SJAMHA.
It incorporates the Chevrolet Safe & Fun Hockey program (safeandfun.gmcanda.com,
the SJAMHA website has a link to it) and other educational and developmental
initiatives for coaches, parents, and players. Safe & Fun Hockey seeks
to inform parents, coaches, and players of the values in developing
a positive attitude toward healthy competition, development, co-operative
teamwork, fair play, and grace under pressure. The program includes
coach mentorship, leadership development, a parent's approach team
session, conduct codes for all participants, and other safety/responsibility
initiatives. |
