On Ice Helpers
On Ice Helpers
Team officials are to utilize sound judgment when selecting a young person as an on-ice helper. These decisions must be made from a developmental and supportive perspective.
We want these “helpers” to provide assistance to the other team officials, while gaining knowledge and experience of a teaching type role. This is not designed as an opportunity for players to get extra ice time. Not just a puck shuffler!
Individuals that volunteer within an association must be either;
◦ a “registered” member of a Minor Hockey Association
◦ a “registered” member of a Junior Hockey League
◦ an on-ice official
◦ This ensures that the insurance coverage has been secured
Individuals may volunteer with a team during practices. They may only be demonstrators/helpers and are not to partake in any scrimmages as a player would.
- Players that volunteer must be at minimum, one age division higher than the team which
they are volunteering with.
- Players are not permitted to volunteer, as an on-ice helper, with a team at the same or
higher division.
- Players that volunteer must wear full gear if they are 16 or under.
- Individuals, who are not registered team officials, and who are 16 years of age or older
must attend the Speak Out Clinic.
Note:
◦ All team players must wear full gear for all games and practices with their own team.
Of note -
- no keepaway games stealing the puck from younger players
- no shots to the goalie's head
