Officials and our Zero Tolerance Policy for disrespect or abuse of officials

KVMHA has always held a high standard for both our coaches and our officials. There should be a mutual respect between our coaching staff and any on ice or off ice officials. We need to remember that we are representing our association and that our actions will reflect on the children and parents who you represent.

There is a zero tolerance policy within Hockey Canada for any abuse or disrespect (physical or verbal) directed toward an official. The majority of these officials are young individuals looking to further their skills and knowledge of the game and have dedicated their time and effort to oversee your games. Without officials, there would be no games. With that said, any coaches or team officials who are reported (officially or unofficially) to KVMHA for abusing an official (referee, lines person or clock attendant) will be dealt with accordingly. If reported by the referee this will include a misconduct or gross misconduct penalty which will be investigated by KVMHA. This offence can be for both home and away games and will warrant the same action. Any incidents reported unofficially to KVMHA will also be investigated and could incur the same suspensions.

If the behaviour persists, coaches or team officials will be removed from the roster.
