RESPECT IN SPORT - MANDATORY FOR ALL HOCKEY FAMILIES
Submitted By Jason Shedden on Fri 06 20, 14
At the 2013 Ontario Minor Hockey Association’s Annual General Meeting, the Board
of Directors announced the OMHA will move to become a complete ‘Respect’
integrated association effective the 2014-2015 season.
This course must
be completed by one parent/guardian who has a child registered for hockey in
the upcoming season.
Any children who don't have a parent/guardian certified as having taken the course will not be permitted to play in the 2014-15 season.
This is non-negotiable in all associations across Ontario.
The ‘Respect in Hockey’ initiative will require all Team Officials, On-ice Volunteers, On-Ice Officials and Parents to take the appropriate ‘Respect’ education.
The one-hour online course is a proactive, educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game.
Thank you again for your continued support and ongoing commitment to providing the most positive, safe and enjoyable environment in which all participants can enjoy our great game.
The course can be found by going to
www.omha.net and click on the 'Clinics' tab.
