RULES FOR CONDUCT
Racial Slurs
We continue to see and hear reports of derogatory slurs, behavior which is reprehensible and has absolutely no place in our game, especially around our children. In the past couple of years USAH has modified the severity of the penalty but it’s also vital that parents and coaches take the time to address the topic with their athlete.
Our affiliate protocol indicates that if a racial slur occurs in a game and not heard by the on ice officials, the coach/captain has to make the officials aware of the slur, the officials then must address the accusation with the opponents coach’s and at the conclusion of the game, issue an incident report with the accusations. The tournament does not have the ability to suspend or penalize a player or team for alleged and accused statements unless this is documented with the referees/scoresheet. Anyone penalized under Rule 601 (e.3) will receive a match penalty, which carries a five-minute penalty, disqualification from that game, and suspension from further participation until such time the governing Affiliate has conducted a hearing to review the matter. Affiliates have up to 30 days to investigate and conduct a hearing and the offending individual(s) is subject to further discipline.
The use of hateful language is a hurdle to creating a welcoming environment for families that want to be involved in our sport. Eradicating this kind of behavior from our game is critical as we continue to make a positive impact on society through hockey.
200x85/PIP
Off-Ice Officials
Each team competing in a given game shall provide a penalty box attendant for their team's penalty box. In the event that parents are running the game clock, then the penalty box attendants are not required unless penalty boxes cannot be accessed from the score clock area.
Medical Personnel, Trainers and Emergency Protocols
200x85 Tournaments require ice arenas to have a venue-specific emergency action plan for our hockey events. Due to limitations of the availability- 200x85, however, does not require certified athletic trainers at those venues. Many teams have started to provide athletic trainers as part of their team staff for full-contact playing divisions (13U and older). All Ontario teams as an example are required to have a certified trainer on their bench or coaching staff. We encourage teams, at their discretion, to provide athletic trainers if possible. 200x85 also recommends that any team or club with its own athletic trainer require the trainer to provide their own general liability insurance.
For any and all host facilities, the tournament protocol for medical emergencies is to follow the arena's actions plan. If a player is in need of medical attention, our site directors can help provide you with the closest immediate care facility or emergency room hospital. In severe instances, 911 is recommended for paramedics to arrive as early as possible.
