Parent Contract (Orono Amateur Athletic Association)

Parent Code of Conduct
2025–2026 Season

• Ensure to the best of my ability that my child abides by the rules of hockey, the policies of the OAAA, and principles of good sportsmanship.
• Ensure to the best of my ability that my child respects his/her teammates, coaches, team officials, referees, opponents, opposing coaches, opposing team officials, and other participants in OAAA games, practices, and other association activities.
• Ensure to the best of my ability that my child conducts himself/herself in a manner that minimizes the risk of injury — both physical and psychological — to himself/herself and others. This includes refraining absolutely from making any derogatory comments as to another individual’s race, ethnic origin, colour, religion, gender, and/or sexual orientation.
• Refrain from criticism of coaches, team officials, referees, teammates, opponents, opposing coaches, opposing team officials, and other participants in OAAA games and association activities. If I feel criticism is warranted, I will offer it respectfully, through proper channels, and away from the hockey rink.
• Refrain from directing comments which are insulting, intimidating, humiliating, hurtful, malicious, degrading, or otherwise offensive to players, team officials, referees, and association volunteers — including convenors, board members, executive members (directors), and paid association staff such as the team and skill development coaches. If I feel criticism is warranted, I will offer it respectfully, through proper channels, and away from the hockey rink.
• Refrain from discussing the weaknesses of other team players and/or coaching staff with my child.
• Familiarize myself with, and abide by, the policies and procedures of the OAAA.
