Created in 2020, “Section
11- Maltreatment” includes all forms of maltreatment under a
single section of the Hockey Canada rulebook. It provides guidelines for
escalating penalties based on the severity of the behavior from players as
well as team officials.
We all need to work together to support one another and call out any negative or abusive behavior when we see it. It’s on all of us to make the game a more positive and inclusive space from within, both on and off the ice. These are lessons that we can take with us outside of the arena and apply to our classrooms, workplaces and communities.Maltreatment
includes the actual or potential of physical or psychological
harm aimed at any participant within the game. It undermines the health
and well-being of everyone associated with the game and is incompatible with
core values that lie at the heart of Canadian sport. As part of that
commitment, Rule 11 looks to eliminate discrimination, disrespectful and
abusive behavior, and harassment from Canada’s game with a zero-tolerance
policy.
