Coaching Complaint Resolution Policy

Should a player/parent have a concern/complaint about ice. (i.e. playing time,
line choices, coaching, etc.), the PLAYER must discuss these issues with the
coaching staff directly. If they feel the issue is still unresolved, the player or
parent should then contact the coaching coordinator. If issue is still unresolved,
issue may be brought to the board. Under NO circumstances should a parent
confront a coach. Parents and players are encouraged to utilize a 24-hour
cooling off period before addressing issues.
