OUR VALUES

INTEGRITY Ice hockey is a team sport. No matter how great an individual player is, his or her teammates are essential to the team’s success. This is also what makes ice hockey so special. Apart from the physical skills required, it teaches values such as selflessness, team play, character, heart, dedication, leadership, and respect. The rules of ice hockey start with respecting the sport itself. This means complying with all rules regarding doping and match-fixing. It also means respecting coaches and officials, and playing within the boundaries of the on-ice code of conduct.
