Team Official Code of Conduct

Serving as a Coach or bench staff within the Peterborough Girls Hockey Association (PGHA) is a privilege that comes with significant responsibility. You play a key role in the personal growth and hockey development of each player, and with this role comes authority that must be exercised with integrity and care.

This Code of Conduct promotes fair play, respect, and a positive environment for all PGHA participants. All coaches and bench staff must sign this agreement before participating in any PGHA activities and are expected to always uphold the principles of Fair Play.

Coaches and bench staff are expected to foster a supportive atmosphere focused on positive feedback, fair play, equal ice time, and skill development. Every interaction is an opportunity to build self-confidence, self-esteem, and positive values in the young girls and women of the PGHA.

By signing this Code of Conduct, I agree to:

  • I will be reasonable when scheduling games and practices remembering that young athletes have other interests and obligations.

  • I will teach my athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials, opponents and teammates.

  • I will ensure all athletes receive equal instruction, discipline, support and appropriate, fair playing time.

  • I will not ridicule or yell at my athletes for making mistakes or for performing poorly. 

  • I will remember that children play to have fun and must be encouraged to have confidence in themselves. 

  • I will make sure that equipment and facilities are safe and match the athlete's ages and ability. 

  • I will remember that children need a coach they can respect. 

  • I will be generous with praise and set a good example. I will obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills. 

  • I will provide regular feedback and evaluations of players to the players and their parents.

I, the undersigned, acknowledge that I have reviewed and understand this Code of Conduct. I agree to adhere to its principles and to uphold the mission and values of the Peterborough Girls Hockey Association and the Fair Play Code as endorsed by Hockey Canada. 

I also agree to comply with all rules, regulations, and decisions set forth by the PGHA and the OWHA. I understand that failure to adhere to this Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or removal from the PGHA.
