The primary objectives of the Spring-Ford Ice Hockey Club are the promotion of good sportsmanship, the development of hockey skills, team cooperation and constructive recreation. Additional objectives include developing an appreciation for competition and the striving for excellence, managed in conformity with the primary objectives. As a result, the Spring-Ford Ice Hockey club has developed the following guidelines for sportsmanship and rules of conduct. In addition, the Club upholds the Spring-Ford Area School District Student Athletic Guidelines as well as the USA Hockey Code of Conduct. Both serve as a foundation for the SFIHC guidelines in this handbook. All players are governed by these guidelines.

  1. Scholastic eligibility is of most importance and will be enforced at all levels. The guidelines are the same as a School District sponsored sport.
  2. Practices are designed to improve individual and team skills of all players. The coaches will determine where improvement is required.
  3. Players will be expected to willingly assist the coaches in whatever duties are assigned during practices and games.
  4. All players are expected to attend all practices and games and to be on time for all sessions – fully dressed and ready to go on the ice before the session is scheduled to begin. Moreover, at the end of the session all players are to leave the ice immediately.
  5. There will be no horseplay in or around the rink area, on the ice, or during transportation. Transportation is the responsibility of the players and their parents.
  6. Each team will have a Manager who is in charge of the Club’s equipment assigned to that team. Each participant is expected to heed the instruction in regard to the use, care and treatment of this equipment. All players are expected to share in the proper care of equipment, scrimmage pullovers, pucks, goalie gear and coaching equipment.
  7. No player or coach will be allowed on the ice without USA Hockey and SFIHC required equipment. Please consult Club officials regarding proper colors and equipment, if unaware.
  8. The coaching staff is solely responsible for player position assignments.
  9. Participants are urged to be aware of the SFIHC philosophy in regard to allocation of playing time.
