Vancouver, BC – BC Hockey, in partnership with the Vancouver Canucks, are excited to announce the launch of a new educational program called Sportsmanship Starts in the Stands which encourages positive behaviour by hockey parents in the rink.
Sportsmanship Starts in the Stands was developed to address the behaviours and attitudes that have become a negative influence in the game of hockey in BC. The intent of the program is to ensure that the environment at BC Hockey events and initiatives is positive for everyone. It was also developed to ensure the level of parent expectations was consistent across the province.
