Speaking to Timekeepers & Game Officials - NOT Allowed
2025-12-03
Please note that THE FOLLOWING IS NOW IN EFFECT because of recent and ongoing issues.
PLEASE REMIND YOUR PARENTS THAT both time keepers and on ice officials ARE OFF LIMITS! ANY ABUSE OF OFFICIALS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
The time keepers in particular are most vulnerable in arenas like Neebing, TC 2, Port Arthur, Delaney and Issues like game clocks not starting and buzzers not buzzing are often related to the equipment and NOT THE PERSON. We have different issues at every rink. Also, On ice officials often need to get through parents to get to their dressing rooms. We ask every staff to assist in keeping these young people safe in order to TRY TO RETAIN THEM.
This is especially important as we enter into the final regular season games and playoffs.
The following is now in effect. Incidents will be recorded. Teams will be notified.
There is NO time in any arena when it is acceptable for anyone to approach and disrespect the Timekeepers or On Ice Game Officials. This Rule is to be respected at all times and may result in the banning of that person and also may result in the player associated with that person to serve game suspensions. This is a zero tolerance policy. Our Players hear and see the way you are treating the officials and we here at Lakehead Minor feel we want our players to respect the young timekeepers and officials and want our players to learn not to blame others who are just trying to do their jobs.
Our young timekeepers and referees are people and approaching them is never acceptable.
