RESPECT IN SPORT
Parents are required to complete the Respect in Sport program. Certification in the Respect in Sport program is valid for up to four seasons and is associated with a May 1 expiry date. There is a cost to complete this program that is payable by the member. (please ensure that you have clicked on the Respect in Sports Parent Program and not the Respect in Sports Activity Leader Program as they are two different programs. One does not replace the other).

It is Canada’s leading online bullying, abuse, harassment, and negligence prevention program for parents, coaches, and community leaders.
The Respect in Sport Parent Program helps define a standard of behaviour for all parents and create a more rewarding, safe and respectful environment for everyone involved. Parents want to do a great job supporting their kids. Respect in Sport provides parents with the tools to do just that.

Equipment
Hockey is a fast paced sport played with a rubber puck and sticks. In order to keep every player safe, you must wear proper equipment while on the ice.
Your most important decision before starting hockey, should be to purchase properly fitted and comfortable equipment. When equipment is not suitably fitted, the player may be injured.
Three important factors should be stressed when evaluating hockey equipment:
- that the equipment is in good condition
- that the equipment is well maintained throughout its life span and
- that the equipment fits properly. ‘Hand-me-downs’ are a great way to save money but be sure to carefully inspect the items to ensure they are safe to wear.
Plan a budget for purchasing equipment. The most expensive equipment is not always necessarily the best for your child. We recommend you consult a professional sporting goods retailer for advice before you purchase any product.
Hockey Canada offers an excellent resource called SAFETY FOR ALL. This book contains information about insurance policies as well as tips on equipment fitting. You can download a copy of it by visiting hockeycanada.ca.
Sports Central is a resource for parents who may needs some assistance obtaining equipment for their child to play hockey. Please click the following link to be directed to their home page for further information (https://www.sportcentral.org/equipment-donations/)
