Zero Tolerance Policy: Players, Parents and Spectators: 

FYHA and all the Inter-League Teams supports USA Hockey’s Zero Tolerance policy regarding sportsmanship and parent conduct during games. Physical abuse, verbal abuse or threats in any form shall not be directed at any on-ice or off-ice officials, rink staff, tournament officials, players, coaches, parents or fans. This includes, but is not limited to, shouting at referees, insulting opposing team players or taunting opposing team parents. In general, any conduct that is not suitable for an amateur athletic event is strictly prohibited. The "zero tolerance" rule applies to all coaches, players, fans, parents, or other individuals associated with the Fishers Youth Hockey Association. It includes acts performed at any time before, during or after a game. Conduct inside or outside the arena is covered by the rule. Parents who yell at players, coaches or referees/linesmen over the glass from the stands may be asked to leave the facility.  Each age level Commissioner, Board Representative and rink employee has the right to investigate and address any disciplinary matters of players, coaches, parent or spectator before they escalate into larger problems. Depending on the severity of a player, parent, spectator or coach infraction, the Executive Board has the discretion to initiate a hearing with the Disciplinary Committee.

Teams Code of Conduct:  All Fishers Youth Hockey players and coaches shall act in a sportsman-like manner. This means playing, winning and losing in an appropriate manner. Abusive and/or foul language, throwing equipment in anger, intentionally attempting to injure another player or damaging rink property or other property will not be tolerated.

Parent/Spectator Code of Conduct:Parents are expected to conduct themselves according to high standards of social and ethical behavior.  This includes showing the utmost respect for players, coaches, referees, opposing players and their coaches.  Parents are expected to lead by example.
