CODE OF CONDUCT

To play the game is great.  To love the game is greater.
USA Hockey has published a set of core values and codes of conduct for parents, players, spectators and coaches that are reprinted here for our members' consideration. SYHI embraces the concept of these core values and codes of conduct for all members of the organization.

• CORE VALUES 
   
  The following core values of USA Hockey are adopted to guide the association's members in their planning, programming and play, both now and in the future.
   
  SPORTSMANSHIP - Foremost of all values is to learn a sense of fair play. Become humble in victory, gracious in defeat. We will foster friendship with teammates and opponents alike.
   
  RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL - Treat all others as you expect to be treated.
   
  INTEGRITY- We seek to foster honesty and fair play beyond mere strict interpretation of the rules and regulations of the game.
   
  PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AT THE INDIVIDUAL, TEAM AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS - Each member of the organization, whether player, volunteer or staff should seek to perform each aspect of the game to the highest level of his or her ability.
   
  ENJOYMENT- It is important for the hockey experience to be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.
   
  LOYALTY- We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.
   
  TEAMWORK - We value the strength of learning to work together. The use of teamwork is reinforced and rewarded by success in the hockey experience.
