It is the policy of the Erin-Hillsburgh Minor Hockey Association that:
·No minor aged Player shall be left alone in a room with an adult who is not the Player’s parent or guardian.
·If an adult presence is required in a closed room (i.e., dressing room) there shall always be at least two adults present at all times.
·The team officials and parent/guardian representative(s) of every team shall ensure that the dressing room door remains closed while players are changing.
·Video or photography equipment are never to be allowed in the dressing rooms, washrooms or showers. The use of any electronic device, such as a cell phone, with the ability to take photos or record audio or video is strictly prohibited in or around any recreational facility dressing room, washroom or shower. The privacy and dignity of the Players is the first priority. Any incident involving a violation of personal privacy through the use of such a device will result in an automatic 5-game suspension to anyone involved - including bench staff.
EHMHA is committed to providing safe and equitable access to segregated dressing room spaces upon confidential request to a member of the team bench staff.
Provincial and municipal laws pertaining to smoking, use of cannabis or vaping are applicable at all EHMHA facilities and sanctioned events. Under no circumstances are any of these activities allowed to take place by anyone in the dressing rooms, washrooms or showers. Any person caught engaging in this type of activity will receive an automatic 5-game suspension and the appropriate authorities will be notified.
