Important Information

To prepare for the upcoming hockey season there are a few policies that Hockey Manitoba has in place to help us all make sure our hockey season is a safe and happy place for everyone involved!

One member of your family must complete the online “Respect In Sport” program before the hockey season starts (some of you will have done this last season). If not, it must be completed by your first game time, or your player will not be allowed on the ice. Players are not allowed to play until one parent has completed this course. Please find the course information here: https://www.hockeymanitoba.ca/members/respect-sport-parents/
Helmets and mouth guards must be worn at all times. This includes all IP skates, practices and games. There are no exceptions to this rule. You may find it helpful to keep a back-up mouth guard in your hockey bag at all times.
