5. Program Code of Conduct
The following are the expectations that every student in the HWDSB Hockey Skills Academy will adhere too
Attitude
The biggest stumbling block to players succeeding in hockey is a poor attitude
Players that rapidly progress are those individuals that possess a strong work ethic, always open to learn, humble, and have quiet confidence
Humble – modest, not grand or important, respectful, and courteous (ie. Wayne Gretzky, Steve Yzerman, Steve Nash etc.)
School
Players in the program will be held to the highest standard
This course is a privileged program in the HWDSB
Players are expected to attend all classes during the day and maintain passing grades
Students not meeting expectations in other courses risk not being accepted for the hockey program in the future!
