You are a parent or a tutor responsible for a young athlete playing hockey.  He/she needs your support and encouragement.
 

HOCKEY PLAYER  FIRST,
WINNING SECOND!
 

The diagram below present some guidelines about the behavior that parents, tutor, or even coaches should have with a young prospect. This list of rules is not complete but it helps to present a line of conduct that we as coaching staff enhances while working with young players:

There's more to life than hockey. Kids enjoy winning and how to handle defeat. Remember that these kids are PLAYING hockey. It is important to allow them to establish their own goals and play the game for themselves. Be careful not to impose your own standards or objectives.

A healthy, risk-free environment that emphasizes the importance of sportsmanship, fair play, and discipline and, most importantly, fun will be invaluable for your child as she or she continues to develop a positive self image.  Strive to be supportive and point out the things they do well.

Have fun and enjoy supporting your child in the best you can, but not overdue it! This is our mandate as officers of this hockey festival.
