Cougar players set a positive example by displaying respect for teammates, opponents, officials, parents and the game of hockey by playing, competing, winning and losing with class, both on and off the ice.
Cougar players play fair. Play hard, but always remember to play by the rules, and always shake hands at the end of each game. Selfish play, taunting, showboating, and dangerous play are not tolerated.
Cougar players always hustle at practice and at games. Cougar hockey players display teamwork, enthusiasm, hard work, and character, both on and off the ice. Bad behavior and foul language is not tolerated.
Cougar players pay attention at the rink, in the dressing room, at practice, and at games. Coaches and Managers must be respected. Do not visit, fool around, or shoot pucks when the coaches are talking. You are wasting the coaches and your teammate’s valuable time at the rink.
Cougar players are on time. Show up at the rink early enough to be ready to go at least 5 -10 minutes before the scheduled practice or game, so the coaches can address the practice/game plan and you have time to complete a thorough warm-up.
Cougar players are privileged to play hockey. Wear the Cougar jersey with pride and class. Uniforms should be clean and not be left on the dressing room floor. Hang them up.
Ultimately, regardless the competitive level of play, Cougar players need to make sure they have fun playing the great game of hockey.
