KMHA: Policy # C9
Title: Non Hockey Canada Program Participation Sanctions (Staff)
Definitions:
Involved with: refers to volunteers, staff paid/unpaid, parents of players, and anyone else deemed (by the Board of Directors) to have vested interest in the success of a non Hockey Canada Program.
Players: refers to any youth participating on a team as a regular or call up player for any duration of a game or practice.
Parents of a player: refers to the custodial parent(s) or guardian(s) of a player.
Rational: With the increase in Non Hockey Canada Programming and the proclivity, and opportunity for player and volunteer poaching/recruitment it is KMHA’s intention to create a safe environment free from harassment and pestering caused by poaching/recruitment as well as to protect the private and information belonging to our customers and members. The security risk associated with staff is direct and could be easily manipulated by those wishing to place a staff in a conflict of interest.
Policy Statement:
Staff may not be selected for any paid position with KMHA from anyone involved with, or with immediate family involved with/playing on a Non Hockey Canada Sanctioned Hockey league. Staff will be made aware of this policy upon hire. Staff found to be involved with a Non Hockey Canada Sanctioned Hockey League program will be immediately removed from their position.
Persons involved with Non Hockey Canada Programs must wait a minimum of 5 years prior to returning to KMHA and must make application through the board of directors prior to being accepted back as a volunteer.
