2. I will treat all teammates, coaches, officials, opponents, and parents with respect.
3. I understand that hockey is a team sport, and I will work hard to be a good teammate.

7. I will work hard to improve my skills.

9. I will wear my full equipment during all practices and games, and will not remove it while I am on the ice surface, on the bench or in the penalty box.
10. I will not go on the ice until my coach or an on-ice official instructs me to do so. I will not enter the playing surface or players' bench area while the ice is being resurfaced.
