3. Positive Environment: Promote a positive atmosphere at games and practices.

4. Communication: Communicate any concerns directly with coaches, not during games or practices.

9. Focus on the Children: The St. Peter's Board is here to ensure your child has the best experience possible and is committed to that goal. They are not here to manage disagreements or relationships between adults. If you and another parent are having disagreements or issues, please keep the children’s best interests in mind and strive to be a positive member of the team.

10. Disciplinary Actions: Any violation of this code of conduct may result in disciplinary discussions, disciplinary actions, or removal from the St. Peter's Hockey Club.
