Video Recordings
We want to inform you that the hockey sessions may be filmed for various purposes, including but not limited to sharing on social media platforms and potential monetization. Rest assured, we will prioritize the safety and privacy of our young athletes throughout this process. If you have any concerns or objections to your child's participation in this filming and potential sharing, please feel free to contact us so we can address them accordingly. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our program.
Injury Liability/Assumption of Risk
While we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for our hockey participants, it's essential to acknowledge that the nature of sports involves inherent risks, including the possibility of injuries. By participating in our program, all players and their legal guardians accept these inherent risks and agree not to hold our Ice Puffins Youth Hockey Club sports organization, its facility, coaches, or volunteers liable for any injuries sustained during practices, games, or related activities. We strongly encourage all participants to adhere to safety guidelines, wear appropriate protective gear, and act responsibly to minimize these risks. Your child’s safety is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding of this important matter.

Parental Support, Not Pressure
We encourage a supportive atmosphere where parents are partners in their child’s athletic journey, providing encouragement and fostering a positive mindset without undue pressure. Please refrain from providing any negative feedback regarding technique or effort, focusing instead on uplifting and motivating our young athletes. Thank you for being a positive force in our sporting community.
No Instruction Spectating
We kindly ask that parents avoid shouting instructions to the players during games. It can be confusing and overwhelming for young players to hear different directions coming from all sides, especially as they're trying to focus and make decisions on their own. This kind of sideline coaching can actually hinder the development of natural game sense and instincts.
What is helpful and encouraged is supportive cheering and positive energy. The girls will love hearing encouragement to help keep their spirits and energy high throughout the game.
