posted 10/29/2010
Members of Rochester Youth Hockey:
There has been an increasing number of incidents with bullying in both schools and in sports. Electronic communication and social networking sites are becoming the rule with our youth. The following is the current policy of RYH, USA Hockey's and NYSAHA's on Hazing and will most likely be updated to include bullying from page 87 in the NYSAHA Annual Guide:
NO HAZING POLICY
It is the policy of RYH, USA Hockey and New York State Amateur Hockey Association, Inc. that there shall be no hazing of any participant involved in any sanctioned program, training camp, hockey clinic, coaching clinic, referee clinic, regional and national tournament or associated events conducted by their employees, volunteers, participants or independent contractors.
Hazing is defined as conduct that is insulting, intimidating, humiliating, offensive, or physically harmful, and includes the activity known as “locker boxing” or “helmet and gloves” that is popular with children and young adults and often produces head trauma and serious injury.
Any player, team official, executive member of a team, club or association having been party to or having had knowledge of hazing, without reporting it to the respective Section President or taking clear affirmative action to assure that it is not repeated, shall be subject to suspension from playing or holding office with any team, club or association affiliated with RYH, USA Hockey and New York State Amateur Hockey Association, Inc.
This communication is long over due. If you have any concerns about hazing or bullying please feel free to contact me directly, in confidence, at
.
Regards,
Len Schloer
Vice President, Rochester Youth Hockey
