relocation may apply in writing to the Registrar, for a return of fees. The amount of the refund will be governed by the date on which the request is received and shall be calculated in accordance with Table 1, below.
ii. Any player who becomes medically unfit or receives an injury that prevents them
from participating in minor hockey for the rest of the season shall be entitled to a
refund. The amount of the refund will be governed by the date on which the injury
occurred or by the medical condition as noted by a physician and shall be calculated in accordance with the Table 1, below.
The player must provide medical certification by a licensed medical practitioner in support of a refund request made on medical grounds.
iii. In the event of a suspension or expulsion of a player neither fee, nor part thereof, will be refunded regardless of (i) and/or (ii) above.

The Almaguin Minor Hockey association seeks to provide a rewarding hockey experience for all players. We believe that the quality of our association is measured by the attitude and conduct of its members, both on and off the ice. We believe that how the game is played is more important than winning. In recognition of these goals and beliefs,
the association has adopted this code of conduct for all players, parents and coaches.
PLAYER’S CODE
1) Play for the ‘fun of it’, not just to please our parents or coach.
2) Play by the rules
3) Never argue with the official’s decision. Let your captain or coach ask any necessary questions.
4) Control your temper ‘No MOUTHING OFF’, breaking sticks, throwing gloves or other equipment. There is Zero
tolerance of any profane language directed at Coaching staff or officials.
5) Work equally hard for yourself and your team, your team’s performance will benefit and so will your own.
6) Be a good sport. Cheer all good plays, whether our teams or your opponents.
7) Treat all players as you yourself would like to be treated. Don’t interfere with, engage in bullying or take unfair advantage of any player.
8) Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve your skills and feel good. Don’t be a show-off or always try to get the most points or penalties.
9) Co-operate with your coach, teammates and opponents, for without them, you don’t have a game.
10) Remember that you are representing yourself your parents, your team and AMHA at all times, to and from the arena.
11) Players may not drive any other player to a practice or game unless an adult is present in the car with them.
They may drive themselves alone.

COACHES AND TEAM OFFICIALS
All Team Officials shall;
1) Always respect the “24 hour rule” – see section - when approaching parents, players or AMHA board members and do not act in the “heat of the moment”. Any failure to do this leading to inappropriate behavior in front of parents or children will result in an immediate suspension of the position. This may be appealed by the individual and reviewed by the disciplinary committee.
2) Recognize individual differences in athletes and always think of the athlete’s long term interests. Aim for
excellence based upon realistic goals. The activity undertaken should be suitable for the age and abilities of the
players
3) Lead by example. Teach and practice co-operation, self-discipline, respect for officials and opponents and
proper attitudes in language, dress and deportment. Rules are mutual agreements, which no one should evade or break.
4) Make sport challenging and fun. Skills and techniques need not be learned painfully. Ensure that equipment and facilities meet current safety standards.
5) Under no circumstances must a coach or member of the coaching staff be under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. This holds true for tournaments and away games.
6) Be honest and consistent with athletes. They appreciate knowing where they stand.
7) Be prepared to interact in a positive manner with administrators, league officials and parents.
8) Be responsible people who are flexible and willing to continually learn and develop.
10) Encourage athletes to be fit all year, every year and not just for the season.
11) Follow the advice of a physician when determining when an injured player is ready to play again.
12) Set and monitor boundaries between a working relationship and friendship with their players. Team officials
should realize that certain situations or friendly actions could be misinterpreted, not only by the player, but by
others motivated by jealousy, dislike or mistrust and could lead to allegations of misconduct or impropriety.
13) Be respectful, listen and hear when dealing with complaints from parents or players. Keep in mind they may
have a more limited understanding and they have a large emotional commitment involved. Be sure you allow them the opportunity to air their concerns.
14) If coaching your own child you must be sure to never give opportunity to allow a culture where favoritism of that child is allowed or perceived. As a coach you must leave your relationship to that child”. Any undue allowances for that player are strongly discouraged.
15) No coach/assistant coach/trainer or Manager shall be on the bench of any team unless properly carded. I.e.: An acting head coach of a team must have a coaching certificate and have attended the proper training and clinical sessions.
