Parent Information
Hockey is a fun team sport that fosters new friendships, healthy physical activity and life skills that go beyond the ice.
As parents we must all realize that, for kids, positive participation is always more important than excellence. The personal and social development that comes from being part of a team is one of the most enriching experiences offered by the game. We must continue to live the values of fun and fair play, respect, integrity and teamwork with a balanced perspective of expectations and definition of success.
See "ABOUT OUR PROGRAM" page for ELMHA constitution, Hockey Canada insurance information, Rep Agreement and other relevant documents.
Requirements to Play
How to be a Good Hockey Parent:
- Fill out registration and pay fees on time
- Discuss any concerns with bench staff (coaches, on-ice helpers, managers)
- Help with team/league/volunteering tasks when asked
- Demonstrate respect to coaches, officials, and opponents
- Let coach know in advance if missing a practice or game
- Stay out of the bench area during the games
- Help your player(s) focus on progress, team play and fun - not number of goals scored
- Cheer!
Volunteering
Elliot Lake Minor Hockey is a volunteer run organization. In an effort to run the league and keep registration fees reasonable, each family needs to participate in volunteering and fundraising. Registration and volunteer fees go towards, but do not completely cover the cost of ice fees, officials, banquets, etc.
Volunteering can earn you back your fees and run a great league!
Opportunities to volunteer:
- Board executive (voted on annually at the Annual General Meeting)
- Team staff - Coaches, Trainers, Managers
- Bingo
