The way you interact with the officials will be modeled by your players. Teach them that they must respect the decisions of the officials at all times. Remind them that officials will make mistakes too. This is part of the learning curve. Together, all of us involved in this great game can make it more fun to be involved.
Nobody deserves to be abused, verbally or physically.
Canada is the leader in the game of hockey and we have the opportunity to be the leader in the elimination of abuse towards our on-ice officials.
