By signing this Contract and by accepting a roster spot on one of the Sharks travel hockey teams, you are obligated to the Club organization for the season. Once the Child/Player has been assigned to the USA Hockey Team Roster to play for the Sharks, the Child/Player acknowledges he/she has read, understands and will be subject to the Long Island Amateur Hockey League (the LIAHL ) player movement rules and will need a release from the Sharks to play for another team.

Once the Parent(s) has/have signed this Contract, the Parent(s) is/are agreeing to, and will be obligated to, pay all tuition, related fees and team expenses regardless of whether the Child/Player is injured or completes the season with the Sharks. Hockey is the essence of team sports. When a TEAM experiences success or failure, every Child/Player is equally responsible for the success or failure of that TEAM. An individual cannot succeed in the sport of hockey by him or herself. The individual goals of the Child/Player must NEVER be placed before or conflict with the desired and overall goals of the TEAM. In order for the TEAM to succeed, every Child/Player must, at all times, be committed to attaining the desired and overall goals of the TEAM. Parent and Child/Player behavior must NEVER act as a detriment or obstacle in accomplishing such TEAM goals. By joining and playing for an Shark travel hockey team, the Parent(s) and the Child/Player are making a tremendous commitment to Hockey. Hockey will be taught and played at a competitive level. The objective of the Sharks Elite Hockey Club is to help the Child/Player become the best player he or she can be, both individually and as a team player. The objective is to teach the Child/Player how to help his or her team be successful, to help the Child/Player identify areas that need improvement in order to help foster further personal and athletic development, and to have fun. In doing so, the Child/Player and his or her Parent(s) must be serious in their commitment to travel hockey and to the team. A principal objective is to encourage your Child/Player to have fun throughout this undertaking. For this to work, the Parent(s) and the Child/Player must work together with his or her coaches in achieving personal, team and organizational goals. Website: info@icecathockey.com

8 LONG ISLAND SHARKS ELITE HOCKEY CLUB LONG ISLAND S PREMIER TRAVEL HOCKEY ORGANIZATION USA HOCKEY PARENTS AWARENESS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT Do not force your children to participate in sports, but support their desire to play their chosen sport. Children are involved in organized sports for their enjoyment. Make it fun. Encourage your child to play by the rules. Remember, children learn best by example, so applaud the good plays of both teams. Do not embarrass your child by yelling at players, coaches or officials. By showing a positive attitude toward the game and all of its participants, your child will benefit. Emphasize skill development and practices and how they benefit your young athlete. Deemphasize games and competition in the younger age levels. Know and study the rules of hockey, and support the officials on and off the ice. This approach will help in the development and support of the game. Any criticism of the officials only hurts the game. Applaud a good effort in both victory and defeat and enforce the positive points of the game. Never yell or physically abuse your child after a game or practice. It is destructive. Work toward removing physical and verbal abuse in youth sports. Recognize the importance of volunteer coaches. They are important to the development of your child and the sport. Communicate with them and support them. If you enjoy the game, learn all you can and dedicate time as a volunteer! SPECTATORS CODE OF CONDUCT Display good sportsmanship. Always respect players, coaches and officials. Act appropriately; do not taunt or disturb other fans. Enjoy the game together. Cheer good plays of all participants, avoid booing opponents. Cheer in a positive manner and encourage fair play; profanity and objectionable cheers or gestures are offensive. Help provide a safe and fun environment; throwing objects on the ice surface can cause injury to players and officials. Do not lean over and pound on the glass; the glass surrounding the ice surface is part of the playing area. Support the referees and coaches by trusting their judgment and integrity. Be responsible for your own safety and remain alert to help prevent accidents. Respect locker rooms as private areas for players, coaches and officials. Be supportive after the game, win or lose. Recognize good effort, teamwork and sportsmanship.

9 USA HOCKEY Zero Tolerance Policy In an effort to make ice hockey a more desirable and rewarding experience for all participants, the USA Hockey Youth, Junior and Senior Councils have instructed the Officiating Program to adhere to certain points of emphasis relating to sportsmanship. This campaign is designed to require all players, coaches, officials, team officials, administrators and parents/spectators to maintain a sportsmanlike and educational atmosphere before, during and after all USA Hockey sanctioned games. Thus, the following points of emphasis must be implemented by all On-lce Referees and Linesmen: Players: A minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (Zero Tolerance) shall be assessed whenever a player: 1) Openly disputes or argues any decision by an official. 2) Uses obscene or vulgar language at any time, including any swearing, even if it is not directed at a particular person. 3) Visually demonstrates any sign of dissatisfaction with an official's decision. Any time that a player persists in any of these actions, they shall be assessed a misconduct penalty. A game misconduct shall result if the player continues such action. Coaches: A minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (Zero Tolerance) shall be assessed whenever a coach: 1) Openly disputes or disputes any decision by an official. 2) Uses obscene or vulgar language in a boisterous manner to anyone at any time. 3) Visually displays any sign of dissatisfaction with an official's decision including standing on the boards or standing in the bench doorway with the intent of inciting the officials, players or spectators. Any time that a coach persists in any of these actions, they shall be assessed a game misconduct penalty. Officials: Officials are required to conduct themselves in a businesslike, sportsmanlike, impartial and constructive manner at all times. The actions of an official must be above reproach. Actions such as "baiting" or inciting players or coaches are strictly prohibited. On-lce officials are ambassadors of the game and must always conduct themselves with this responsibility in mind. Parents/Spectators: The game will be stopped by On-lce officials when parents/spectators displaying inappropriate and disruptive behavior interfere with other spectators or the game. The On-lce officials will identify violators to the coaches for the purpose of removing parents/spectators from the spectator's viewing and game area. Once removed play will resume. Lost time will not be replaced and violators may be subject to further disciplinary action by the local Governing Body.

10 1) Use of obscene or vulgar language in a boisterous manner to anyone at any time. 2) Taunting of players, coaches, officials or other spectators by means of baiting, ridiculing, threat of physical violence or physical violence. 3) Throwing of any object in the spectator's viewing area, player's bench, penalty box or on the ice surface, directed in any manner as to create a safety hazard. I have read the above; I acknowledge the penalty incurred for any violations to disrupt or create a safety hazard any time before, during or after the game. DATE PARENTS SIGNATURE PLAYER NAME
