WHAT TO EXPECT AS A HOCKEY PARENT

Your child's hockey experience will be influenced by many factors, but nothing will influence that experience more than you. As a parent, you are the most influential figure in your child's development, both as a hockey player and as a person. Embrace the opportunity.

PLEASE REMEMBER

• Let kids be kids. Fun should be paramount
• Be positive, and when adversity comes, be constructive not destructive. If you must be critical, don't get personal. Direct you comments at the action, not the person
• Your child's coach is likely a volunteer, and often also a parent, donating their time to help your child. While criticism might be appropriate, it should be constructively and though appropriate channels.
• Don't bully or harass. Speak out if you see bullying or harassing behavior from others
