Player/Parent Code of Conduct Social Media As a member of The Chicago Bruins, the emphasis of a Social Media post should always be one leaving a positive reflection upon yourself and the Club. • Remember that social media posts can live forever. Even if an athlete deletes a post, it was visible at a moment in time, and in that moment, anyone could have taken a screen capture. Unsavory as it is, these seemingly deleted posts can resurface to haunt, taunt or otherwise damage the athlete’s and Clubs image, and the repercussions of questionable posts can be severe. • Do not create “PUBLIC” web pages, or “PUBLIC” Social Media accounts using the Chicago Bruins logo without approval from the board. No one member is authorized to represent the Chicago Bruins on a Social Media account without approval from the board. • Private team accounts can be created for the use of team communication • Online taunting, foul language, ridiculing, threatening of other teams, players, Refs, is Prohibited and will result in player or parent suspension. • Arguably the most important rule of social media is do not post something that you wouldn't’t want your parents to see, or for that matter, you wouldn't’t want your Children to see.

Parent and Player Code of Conduct Zero Tolerance & Rules Enforcement Zero Tolerance means exactly that, Zero Tolerance Violations against these policies will not be tolerated and will be punished in accordance to USA Hockey, AHAI, and Chicago Bruins Policies STRICTLY ENFORCED! Chicago Bruins Hockey Club
Zero Tolerance – Spectators New for 2015!!!! • In an effort to help control inappropriate spectator behavior, the following AHAI rule is effective immediately. • A game will be stopped by on-ice officials when the parents/spectators displaying inappropriate or disruptive behavior interfere with other parents/spectators or the game. The on-ice officials will identify violators to the coaches for the purpose of removing parents/spectators from the parents'/spectators' viewing and game area. Once removed, play will resume. Lost time will not be replaced. Violators will incur a minimum mandatory 3 -game suspension from that team's games and may be subject to further disciplinary action by the local governing body. • The reasons for this necessary minimum 3 -game suspension rule are simple; last season there was a marked increase in parents'/spectators' behavior being out of control. These behaviors included verbal and physical altercations with officials, players and other spectators. Additionally clubs/teams that have a responsibility to help control and penalize these behaviors were asking for guidance from AHAI. • No matter why a spectator is asked to leave, the minimum suspension is 3 games. NO APPEAL AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Chicago Bruins Hockey Club
Zero Tolerance – Spectators Inappropriate & Disruptive Behavior Shall Include: • Using obscene, racial or vulgar language in a boisterous manner to ANYONE at ANY time. • Taunting Players, Coaches, Officials or other spectators by means of baiting, ridiculing, threatening physical violence, or physical violence. • Throwing ANY object in the spectators viewing area, players’ bench, penalty box, or on-ice surface, that in ANY manner creates a safety hazard.
