Zero Tolerance Policy

The GLHA London Junior Mustangs have "zero tolerance policy" of anyone responsible for physical or verbal abuse directed towards officials, coaching staffs, players, or other spectators before, during, or at any time after the game.

Do not crowd the exits at the end of the game. Remain in the stands without spectator interference until the players are in the dressing rooms. Refrain from comments that could be considered offensive or derogatory by anyone. These remarks are totally unacceptable, and an inappropriate and disgusting display to be observed by any child, regardless of age.

The players are going to play hockey. It is not your right - it is your privilege to attend these games as a spectator.

There will be no warnings. If you are ejected for physical or verbal abuse, you will not be allowed to attend any minor hockey game for the balance of this season. You will have to "appeal" to return in future seasons.
