DRESSING ROOM
For younger levels (from Pre-Novice up to, and including, Minor Atom) parents are generally allowed in the dressing room to assist players in dressing and tightening skates. However, Coaches may require time before and after games for "Chalk Talks" and so on. At these times no Parents other than Coaching Staff will be allowed in the dressing room. Note; that some Coaches, however, will be able to invite Parents with the “RIS” certification to attend pre-and post-game talks at Coach’s discretion
At older levels (Major Atom upwards) players are expected to dress by themselves and tighten their own skates. Parents - should not be in the dressing room as Coaches will be there to help players and female players should dress in a separate dressing then join the team for the “Chalk Talk” before the game. Players may leave the dressing room for help with parent assistant skate tighten.
