Garage League of Hockey Values
The Garage League of Hockey was created for hockey to be played in an organized and competitive yet friendly and safe environment. GLH would like to provide a safer space to play hockey where a positive sport culture and league community are promoted and member respect, safety and health are valued. All GLH members are expected to play and behave in a way that upholds league values.
The following actions will not be tolerated in GLH:
- Physical assault: intentional stick infractions, body checking, fighting
- Verbal abuse: degrading, discriminatory, racist or sexist language
- Sexual harassment: comments, actions or gestures of a sexual nature
- Substance abuse: alcohol or drug consumption in a manner that puts others at risk
GLH players who play or behave in a dangerous or disrespectful manner will be subject to game ejection, and/or may be subject to additional discipline including suspension or expulsion from the league, based on review by GLH league organizers.
Statement on Officials
Officials play an important role in maintaining the integrity and flow of the game and the culture of our league. We are grateful for the work they do. While officials are tasked with enforcing the rules of the game, human error and missed calls are inevitable. If there are any issues with missed calls or dangerous or disrespectful play from specific players, please indicate it to your team rep/captain, who can then discuss further with the officials at an appropriate time or after the game. Abuse of officials will not be tolerated in GLH.
See the attached Garage League Information and Rulebook.
