Hello West London Hawks Teams, Players, and Family, West London has been very fortunate to have some talented people as part of our organization and community. Recently some of our teams have had the opportunity to use and hear a West London Warmup song “Hawks Fly Together” created by Jingle Chain. Thank you, Ryan Barker and Jingle Chain (information below), for creating a warmup song that will promote team unity, provide pregame excitement, and enhance community spirit within the association.

To date, the number of maltreatment and cases of discrimination are overwhelming. Minor hockey is better than this! We are calling on all teams, including coaches, players, and administrators to be proactive in the pursuit of eliminating all maltreatment and discrimination.

This past week, Hockey Canada released the new Dressing Room Policy which will be used in conjunction with the Ontario Hockey Federation’s existing Dressing Room Policy from the 2016 Human Rights mediation. The core principles of the Hockey Canada Dressing Room Policy are contained in the OHF Dressing Room Policy. Please continue to use the OHF Dressing Room Policy over the upcoming weekend. The OHF will provide out an updated OHF Dressing Room Policy and other affected policies early next week

While officials receive annual training as part of their certification, that is not always the case for coaches, administrators, and other volunteers. Hockey Canada has released a Rule 11 Maltreatment promotional video as a standard training resource that is specific to these roles related to not only to Rule 11 but Maltreatment in general. (Other resources are being created and will be shared when available.)
