Player/Parent Code of Conduct

Social Media

As a member of The Chicago Bruins, the emphasis of a Social Media post should always be

  • ne leaving a positive reflection upon yourself and the Club.
  • Remember that social media posts can live forever. Even if an athlete/member deletes a

post, it was visible at a moment in time, and in that moment, anyone could have taken a screen capture. These seemingly deleted posts can resurface to haunt, taunt or

  • therwise damage the athlete’s and Clubs image, and the repercussions of questionable

posts can be severe.

  • Do not create “PUBLIC” web pages, or “PUBLIC” Social Media accounts using the

Chicago Bruins logo without approval from the board. No one member is authorized to represent the Chicago Bruins on a Social Media account without approval from the board.

  • Private team accounts can be created for the use of team communication
  • Online taunting, foul language, ridiculing, threatening of other teams, players, Refs,

Coaches, is Prohibited and will result in player or parent suspension and/or removal from the club.

  • Arguably the most important rule of social media is do not post something that

you wouldn’t want your parents to see, or for that matter, you wouldn’t want your Children to see.

Parent and Player Code of Conduct Zero Tolerance & Rules Enforcement

Zero Tolerance means exactly that, Zero Tolerance Violations against these policies will not be tolerated and will be punished in accordance to USA Hockey, AHAI, and Chicago Bruins Policies STRICTLY ENFORCED!

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Zero Tolerance – Spectators

  • In an effort to help control inappropriate spectator behavior, the following AHAI

rule is effective immediately.

  • A game will be stopped by on-ice officials when the parents/spectators displaying

inappropriate or disruptive behavior interfere with other parents/spectators or the game. The on-ice officials will identify violators to the coaches for the purpose of removing parents/spectators from the parents'/spectators' viewing and game area. Once removed, play will resume. Lost time will not be replaced. Violators will incur a minimum mandatory 3-game suspension from that team's games and may be subject to further disciplinary action by the local governing body.

  • The reasons for this necessary minimum 3-game suspension rule are simple; last

season there was a marked increase in parents'/spectators' behavior being out of

  • control. These behaviors included verbal and physical altercations with officials, players

and other spectators. Additionally clubs/teams that have a responsibility to help control and penalize these behaviors were asking for guidance from AHAI.

  • No matter why a spectator is asked to leave, the minimum suspension is 3 games. NO

APPEAL AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

baiting, ridiculing, threatening physical violence, or physical violence.

  • Throwing ANY object in the spectators viewing area, players’ bench,
