To provide a safe and comfortable dressing room environment with proper supervision for players and team officials, the OHF developed the 2 Deep Dressing Room POlicy in November 2013. ALL NCP TEAMS MUST BE AWARE OF THIS POLICY AND ADHERE TO IT DURING THE 2014-15 SEASON.
When any player under the age of 19 is in the team dressing room(s) before, during and after a game or practice, a minimum of two of the following shall be present in the dressing room(s) or immediately outside the dressing room(s) with the door ajar: two team or club/association officials, properly screened or one such official and an adult person associated with the team (parent).
This means that if a player is sent off the ice due to injury or penalty during the game, the parent(s) of that player and manager/trainer MUST leave the stands and move to the dressing room area as per OHF policy.
