Coach Code of Conduct

Winning is a consideration, but not the only one, nor the most important one. Care more about the player than winning the game.
Be a positive role model for your players, display emotional maturity and be alert to the physical safety of players.
Be generous with your praise when deserved; Be consistent, honest, fair, and just; Do not criticize players publicly; Learn to be a more effective communicator and coach;
Adjust to personal needs and problems of players, be a good listener, never verbally or physically abuse a player or official; Give all players the opportunity to improve their skills, gain confidence and develop self-esteem; Teach them the basic skills of hockey
Organize practices that are fun and challenge your players. Familiarize yourself with the rules, techniques, and strategies of hockey;
Maintain an open line of communication with your players. Explain the goals and objectives of our program.
Develop your players...the better they can play the more they enjoy the game.
To play the game is great, to love the game for life is greater!
