Player Education Program
As part of Hockey Alberta’s commitment towards achieving positive environments through addressing and wanting to remove all forms of discrimination and maltreatment from Hockey, we have created a Player Education Program.
In partnership with the WHL and their Respect in Hockey virtual program and platform, Hockey Alberta has developed our own version of an Online Player Education Program that seeks to help build awareness and education to help enhance players skills.
This program seeks to help build awareness of key concepts and topics that would enhance our players skills and abilities, encourage respectful interactions and relationships, and contribute to spaces where welcoming, inclusion, safety, fun and respect are at the forefront.
Topics Include:
- Bullying, Abuse & Harassment in Hockey
- Fostering Respect and Belonging
- Leadership Inside and Outside of the Game
- Mental Health & Resilience
- Reaching Out & Getting Help
Our hope is that we can give our players the tools and understanding to stand up for others, get help for themselves or someone else, contribute to positive environments and ultimately move away from harmful behaviors and actions like bullying, harassment, and discrimination.
For the remainder of the 2024-2025 season this program is available at no cost to the first 100 U15 & U18 teams who register. If you are not part of a U15 or U18 team but feel like this program would be valuable to your team please email [email protected] with your teams interest.
