PLAYERS FAIR PLAY PLEDGE 1. I will play hockey because I want to not because others or coaches want me to. 2. I will play by the rules of hockey and in the spirit of the Game. 3.

I will remember that winning isn’t everything – that having fun, improving skills, making friends and doing my best are also important. 7. I will acknowledge all good plays and performances – those of my team and my opponents. 8. I will remember that coaches and officials are there to help me. I will accept their decisions and show them respect.
