"One of the most common reasons coaches, managers, and officials, of all ages, cite for leaving sport is unacceptable parent behaviour. The Respect in Sport Parent Program will help define a model of behaviour for all parents and create a more rewarding, safe and respectful environment for everyone involved." Quoted from the Respect in Sport official website.
The Pelham Minor Hockey Association fully supports the Respect in Sport initiatives outlined by Hockey Canada and the Ontario Hockey Federation and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. There will not be any tolerance for these standards not being maintained by our members.
What is the Respect in Sport course? It was created to fully integrate all available ‘Respect’ education to all OMHA stakeholders, including Team Officials, On-ice Volunteers, On-Ice Officials and Parents, effective August 31, 2014.
