OMHA CODE OF CONDUCT

The OMHA Code of Conduct identifies the standard of conduct which is expected of members and other persons involved in OMHA activities and events. Individuals who fail to meet this standard may be subject to sanctions identified within these Policies and Procedures.

Under these Policies and Procedures, infractions which may warrant discipline include:

SERIOUS MISCONDUCT

These are infractions which involve incidents of “Serious Misconduct” including maltreatment, harassment and bullying.

Hockey Canada has engaged an Independent Third-Party (“ITP”) to oversee these complaints which must be submitted through the Hockey Canada Safe Sport/Independent Third Party (“ITP”) Complaint process.  As a result, when the OMHA receives a Complaint of Serious Misconduct directly, it will immediately refer the matter to the ITP.

MAJOR INFRACTIONS

These are infractions under the OMHA Code of Conduct which are more serious and may warrant disciplinary action as specified in the policy. These do not include incidents of ‘Serious Misconduct’ including maltreatment, harassment and bullying.

These infractions and/or complaints are dealt with by the OMHA and may also warrant immediate corrective action by the OMHA.
