CORE VALUES IN YOUTH HOCKEY PROGRAM
Sportsmanship: Foremost of values is to learn a sense of fair play. Become humble in victory, gracious in defeat.
Respect for the Individual: Treat all others as you expect to be treated.
Integrity: We want to foster honesty and fair play beyond mere strict interpretation of the rules and regulations.
Pursuit of Excellence : Each member of the organization, whether player, volunteer or staff, should seek to perform each aspect of the game to the highest level of his or her ability.
Enjoyment: The hockey experience should be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.
Loyalty: We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.
Teamwork: We value the strength of learning to work together. The use of teamwork is reinforced and rewarded by success in the hockey experience.
