The PKHL Code of Conduct 

---

 

RESPECT THE GAME

The PKHL is founded on the principal that hockey is the greatest game on 

earth. We, as players in this independent league, recognize that we are all 

brought together to celebrate this great game and we pledge to never take for 

granted the opportunity and the ability to still play. On and off the ice we will 

conduct ourselves as ambassadors for the sport, and will always show respect 

towards referees, arena staff, and anyone else involved with hockey or the 

PKHL. We will always respect all PKHL property (league jerseys, water bottles, 

pucks, trophies, etc) and the property of our host arena. We pledge to respect 

the sport of hockey and we pledge only to play as long as we still love the game.

 

RESPECT YOUR TEAMMATES

Hockey is a team sport, and therefore we need each other to play. As a 

member of this league, we are also members of a team who will depend on us 

for support, encouragement, camaraderie, and dependability. As good 

teammates, we will value the contributions of our fellow players regardless of 

their age or skill level. We will be unselfish on the ice and conduct ourselves 

according to the rules of the game as to not intentionally penalize our team. We 

will be reliable in our weekly attendance and we will quickly notify our team 

captain if we are unable to play. 

 

RESPECT YOUR OPPONENTS

As a member of the PKHL we are more connected to opposing players than in 

any other league. As a draft league, members of opposing teams could be 

teammates in a few short months and could sub on our current teams at any 

time. It is important that we recognize and value each other league-wide for our 

contributions to this endeavor and for our shared love for the game of hockey. 

We acknowledge and greatly encourage the spirit of competition, and we 

recognize that player safety and enjoyment are paramount to continuing a 

successful league for years to come. We pledge to never disrespect our 

opponents, verbally or physically, and to continually conduct ourselves like adults 

in all on and off-ice situations.
