Club Policies and General Rules

The following Club Policies and General Rules were created in the interest of safety and courtesy to all members and their families using the facility. Each member of the Stouffville Skating Club should review them carefully and abide by them. If at any time a skater is found not to be following these Policies and Rules they may be asked to leave the ice, at the discretion of the coaches.

Parents and skaters are reminded that the members have the right to focus on their skating proficiency in a pleasant and positive learning environment. Courtesy, consideration, cooperation and common sense will help to ensure that all skaters have a safe and enjoyable skating experience. Parents are requested to review these Policies and Rules with their skaters to help them understand their purpose.

Club Policies

  1. Skate Canada requires that all skaters must be registered as members in good standing in order to be covered under the Skate Canada insurance. Therefore, all fees, including registration and test fees, must be paid as required by the Stouffville Skating Club in order for a skating member to be kept in good standing with the Club.
  2. Only members in good standing with the Club will be allowed to take tests and participate in Club competitions. Members not in good standing may be suspended at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

It is strictly prohibited to possess or consume any illegal substance or drug (as defined by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act) including alcohol and tobacco while inside the Stouffville Clippers Sports Complex, or at any event while representing the Stouffville Skating Club or Skate Canada.
  4. CSA approved HOCKEY helmets are mandatory for all skaters in the PreCanSkate and CanSkate sessions. We must advise that if the skater arrives at the rink without proper equipment, the skater will not be allowed to participate. Please note that bicycle helmets and ski helmets are not appropriate head protection for any ice surface and are unacceptable in these programs.
  5. No child under the age of 11 may be left unattended at the arena. Parents/Guardians of PreCanSkate or CanSkate skaters are expected to stay at the arena during their child’s skating session. Parents are not allowed on the ice during the skating session.

  7. Insubordination towards any Coach, official or parent will not be tolerated.
  8. There will be no physical contact with the intent to cause bodily harm of a fellow skater, or action performed, which would be considered aggressive in nature including any type of threat, intimidation or any form of harassment towards a skater or other persons.

  14. Repeated violations of the Code of Conduct or Club Policies and General Rules will result in consequences as set by the Board of Directors Skating Club Executive.
  15. If skaters do not abide by the Skaters’ Code of Conduct or the above Policies and General Rules, they will be asked to leave the ice and a letter will be sent to their parents. Repeated violations of the Code of Conduct or Club Policies and General Rules may result in a suspension or consequences as set by the Skating Club Executive.
