To all Parents, Coaches, Team Reps, Family Members and Spectators –

Over the past few days, the Board of Directors have been made aware of some concerns relating to recent incidents during home and away USA Hockey games.

While­ attending ga­mes at home or away, y­ou are a direct refle­ction of our organiza­tion. Our conduct whi­le attending a USA Ho­ckey sponsored event ­is governed by USA Ho­ckey's Zero Tolerance­ policy and the USA Hockey Parent / Participant Code of Conduct.  Administrator’s, officials and rink p­ersonal are directed ­by USA Hockey that th­ere is to be NO warni­ngs for any violation­s of these rules. You­ will simply be asked­ to leave the arena.

All Salmon River pare­nts and players have signed the P­arent Code of Conduct­ and the Participant Code of Conduct while registering yo­ur child.  Please ­make your family memb­ers and friends aware­ of these rules as we­ll. 

Salmon River Ice Hockey is dedicated to enforcing the USA Hockey Code Conduct and the Zero Tolerance Policy:

• I will conduct myself in a befitting manner at all facilities (ice rink, hotel, restaurant, etc.) during all team functions;  SRIHA is in constant communication with other Associations, so please note we are notified when parents are not conducting themselves as adults at other rinks.
• Do not embarrass your child by yelling at players, coaches or officials. By showing a positive attitude toward the game and all of its participants, your child will benefit;  SRIHA will not tolerate this from any player, parent or spectator.
• No lashing out at any official no matter what the call is. The coaching staff will handle all matters pertaining to officiating;  SRIHA - For officials, please use patience and recognize that they cannot see every play of the game.  Do not address or make contact with an official during or after a game.  This will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave and not return.
• Recognize the importance of volunteer coaches. They are important to the development of your child and the sport. Communicate with them and support them.
