Parent Playbook

We exist to work toward the development of a complete and stable youth hockey program. The complete program should allow all individuals to participate at some level. The stability is derived by the Association's establishment of reasonable disciplinary standards for players, coaches, and fans. The display of personal respect and courtesy among all persons involved must always be maintained. Our goal is an acceptable, wholesome, sportsmanlike atmosphere.

The three basic concepts form the foundation of our program; in order of priority are: 

1. Fun and Recreation. This is of first importance. Our mutual youth hockey program exists to provide a safe enjoyable experience for participants. If a player is having a good time, interest in a sport will deepen and develop. Fun and interest combine to create a learning environment.
2. Learning. Learning becomes the logical extension of a safe enjoyable experience. We exist to encourage coaches, officials, and players to commit themselves to expand and widen the ability level.
3. Competition.  Emphasis on competition is realistic and meaningful. Competition tests the ability level and challenges players and coaches to improve. We exist to provide opportunities of safe, controlled competition leading to respect of others’ abilities, the joy of participation, and the victory of improving one's skills.    

Overemphasis of competition is a negative experience we seek to avoid. "To win at all costs" creates an atmosphere of hostility toward opposing players and coaches, and a disregard of regulations which exist for the safety of players.

Sauk Prairie Youth Hockey Association has adopted the USA Hockey Zero Tolerance Policy. This policy is designed to enhance the enjoyment for all those who participate in youth hockey. It is required that a sportsmanlike and educational atmosphere be maintained during and after all USA Hockey sanctioned games.  We encourage our members to abide by the USA Hockey Zero Tolerance Policy.

Our hockey association is one of very few in the state that owns our own rink. And as a member of the association, YOU own the rink. We don’t rent it or lease it from the Village, and we have full responsibility for the maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of it. As owners of the rink, it is each of our responsibly to volunteer time to work the concession stand, clean the lobby, assist with a fundraiser, etc.

For every game we play in our rink, we are inviting guests into our hockey home. Wherever they come from, our rink is the first thing they see when they arrive. They walk into the breezeway and see the multitude of trophies our children have earned. The lobby is next on the list, then, maybe the rest room - all the while, whether they know it or not, they are seeing our rink and determining if they like it here or not. The parents won’t touch the ice, so what does that leave them to judge? The building and how clean it is, the condition of the locker rooms and friendliness of the concession staff. 

We hope that each of you will have a sense of pride when it comes to our building, keeping it clean and reminding younger children and siblings that it is not a playground. It is our hockey home, and we ask you each to do your part in keeping it looking nice and leaving it in better shape than was left to us. The rink was built by incredible volunteers in 1996 and 25 years later, there have been many improvements along the way. We owe a huge thank you to the volunteers who have helped this building progress to what it is today!
