‘Respect in Hockey’ is one of the most important aspects of the sport that we love. The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is committed to creating a safe community for our membership through Respect training and strive to make hockey an enjoyable place for everyone.
Players, coaches, parents and associations can work together to create a positive and welcoming environment for all those who participate in hockey.

At least one parent or guardian of each player registered in minor hockey in the OMHA is required to complete the Respect in Sport - Parent Program as a condition of participation. The one-hour online course is a proactive, educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game. Team Officials, On-ice Officials and On-ice volunteers will be required to complete the online Respect in Sport - Activity Leader Program or in-class Speak Out! certification.
It’s important to remember that even though this is the off-season of hockey that Respect never leaves the sport.
