Respect The Game!
Examples of unacceptable behaviour include, but are not limited to: yelling at officials, opposing players, or coaches; using inappropriate language; or engaging in disruptive or aggressive actions in the stands or around the rink.

Examples of unacceptable behaviour include, but are not limited to: yelling at officials, opposing players, or coaches; using inappropriate language; or engaging in disruptive or aggressive actions in the stands or around the rink.

Our priority is to maintain a safe, positive, and supportive environment where all players can learn and enjoy the game of hockey. Disrespectful behaviour disrupts this environment and can negatively affect spectators, referees, bench staff, and players alike.

Any parent or spectator who does not follow these expectations may face disciplinary action, including removal from the rink and further consequences as determined by the Association and NOHA.

We appreciate your cooperation in setting a positive example for our players and helping make hockey a welcoming experience for everyone.

The philosophy of the program is not based on winning or losing, but on learning a new sport, making new friends and just being a kid. Tim Hortons provides jerseys, along with participation medals and other items, to Timbits players in local hockey and soccer associations across the country.
