Any parent, player, or coach that violates the terms set forth in the Code of Conduct may be subject to immediate dismissal from the Prolific Hockey program without warning, and will not receive a refund on program or registration fees.

These terms include, but are not limited to:

 

Displays of aggressive or rude behaviour.

Use of abusive or aggressive language.

DISCIPLINE POLICY

 

Prolific Hockey is committed to maintaining an inclusive and safe environment for all campers, coaches, supervisors, volunteers, and parents. In accordance with our club Code of Conduct, Prolific Hockey follows a very rigid "3-strike" discipline policy for all activities and programs. 

 

In the event of a player, coach, volunteer, or parent acting in a way that breaches the Prolific Hockey Code of Conduct, the discipline policy is as follows:

 

Players

 

Strike 1: Verbal Warning

 

During a first incident, coaches will give a verbal warning to the camper and ensure that they understand i) why they were given a verbal warning, and ii) what behaviour will constitute a second strike.

 

Strike 2: Temporary Removal from Camp

 

After a second incident, the camper will be temporarily removed from the camp and will sit out for a discretionary period of time. The Camp Manager will discuss the incident with the camper and their parent(s)/guardian at the end of the day.

 

Strike 3: Permanent Removal from Camp

 

After a third incident, the camper will be permanently removed from the camp for the remainder of the day and the parent(s)/guardian will be required to pick up the camper early. In addition, the Head Coach or Program Supervisor will arrange to have a direct conversation with the players' parents regarding the incidents, and further discipline may be levied.

 

In the unfortunate event that a player's behaviour becomes a clear distraction to their teammates, an in-person meeting will be arranged with the player, their parents, the head coach of the team, and the program director. Possible disciplinary action as a result of this situation may include the following.

 

Suspension from the camp for an appropriate amount of time with no refund.

Removal from the camp with no refund.

 

Parents

 

Prolific Hockey is committed to providing a fun, harassment free environment for all players, coaches, and parents. Any parent that violates the Prolific Hockey Code of Conduct or behaves in an inappropriate manner will be immediately instructed to leave the field/rink, and a coach-parent conference will be arranged after the camp. If the behaviour persists the parent may be permanently banned from attending all Prolific Hockey camps and future programs.

Youth sports should be focused on the enjoyment and improvement of all players, not providing an outlet for the ego of parents. Any behaviour contrary to this belief will be dealt with quickly and harshly. This is a zero tolerance policy.

CONCUSSION POLICY

Prolific Hockey is committed to maintaining the health, well-being, and safety of all it's participants. Safety is a top priority for those participating in any sports, and Prolific Hockey recognizes the increased awareness of concussions and their potential long‐term effects. 

This policy is intended to be a tool to assist in proper management of those who have a concussion or are suspected of having a concussion.  

Prolific Hockey encourages the prevention of concussions using valuable education programs and enforcement of the rules of the game.

This includes, but is not limited to:  

- The reduction of violence in the game. 

- The reduction of head contact.

- The reduction of hitting from behind. Education of all participants on prevention and recognition of head injuries and responsible return to play. 

- Encouraging respect and fair play.

If a camper is suspected of having a concussion;

They will be removed from play immediately, regardless if the concussion occurred during play or not. The player will not be permitted to return to play that day. 

If there are doubts, Prolific Hockey’s staff will err on the side of caution and assume that a concussion has occurred.

The camper will be referred to a physician for diagnosis as soon as possible.

Once a player is diagnosed with a concussion or is experiencing "concussion-like symptoms", they will not be permitted to return to play or practice until all of the return-to-play requirements are met.

Return-to-Play Policy

Following a diagnosed concussion, all Prolific Hockey participants will be forbidden to participate in ANY sporting activities unless a Return-to-Play form has been signed by a medical doctor and submitted to the program director for review.
