The WGMHA Player's Fair Play Pledge

It is the intention of this pledge to promote fair play by exhibiting respect for all participants within the Waterloo Girls Minor Hockey Association.  All players, coaches, officials and parents are responsible for encouraging and promoting fair play by endorsing this pledge during registration for players and parents, and at time of application for coaches, before being allowed to participate in hockey in the Waterloo Girls Minor Hockey system and must continue to observe these principles of fair play throughout the season.

I agree to abide by the principles of the Fair Play code as set forth by the Canadian Hockey Association and supported by the Waterloo Girls Minor Hockey Association.
This commitment to fair play will pave the way for teamwork, better hockey and positive attitudes. Win or lose, we treat each other with respect and dignity.
