Rink Rebels · Our shared expectations

Player Code of Conduct

Every player helps make hockey a place where teammates feel safe, included and proud to belong.

Respect the people around you

Treat teammates, opponents, coaches, officials and rink staff with respect.
Use encouraging language. Bullying, discriminatory comments, harassment and threats have no place in our hockey community.
Welcome players of different backgrounds, abilities and experience levels. Help others feel included.

Compete with sportsmanship

Play by the rules and follow coaches’ and officials’ directions.
Give your best effort, celebrate fairly and handle disappointment without blaming or insulting others.
Avoid dangerous play, fighting and retaliation. Step away and ask a coach for help when emotions run high.

Look after yourself and your team

Tell a coach or trusted adult if you are hurt, feel unwell or feel unsafe. Do not hide an injury to stay in a game.
Use equipment responsibly and respect changing rooms, facilities and other people’s belongings.
Be ready for activities and let a coach know when you cannot attend.

Carry respect beyond the rink

Keep team chats and social media respectful. Do not share embarrassing, private or hurtful content about others.
Never take or share photos or videos in changing rooms or other private spaces.
Speak to a trusted adult if you experience or witness behaviour that makes you uncomfortable.
