KMHA: Policy # C11
Title: KMHA Dressing Room Conditions Policy
Rational: To ensure all KMHA teams are responsible to keep all dressing rooms used both home and away in a clean and tidy fashion leaving them the same or better than found. This policy and its protocols are also designed to assist KMHA with an efficient and effective way of documenting and keeping records of dressing room issues as to best help our teams determine the cause of damages and hold responsible parties accountable.
Policy Statement: KMHA teams are to be responsible for keeping a clean, tidy and safe dressing room. All teams must follow the Hockey Canada 2 in a room (or just outside door with it propped) rule. Failure to do so could result in volunteer suspensions or terminations.
KMHA takes pride in its local facilities as well as its teams’ behavior in away facilities. As such we expect our teams to keep their room clean and safe. This means returning all dressing rooms in the state they were found or better. Should damage occur during a KMHA team’s use of a room teams will document the damage and take responsibility. In any arenas coaches are expected to communicate all damage caused by their team to that community’s rink attendant to ensure the room is safe for the next user. If there is dangerous debris such as broken glass our team will let a professional clean the
mess. If damage has been caused by an individual on a team it is the coach’s responsibility to report it to KMHA through their convener. KMHA will bill the parties responsible for the damage.
Should a KMHA coach find a room in unsatisfactory conditions upon arrival they are to communicate the issue (mess, damage or vandalism) to the rink attendant before using the room. This action will protect the team from false accusations.
