3.      Remember that I serve as a role model for my team and that my players often exhibit my attitudes on the ice.

4.      Believe that hockey is a GAME to be played for fun.

5.      Accept that the policies of USA Hockey and the Board of Directors of the club should be regarded as mutual agreements in spirit and letter.

7.      Treat officials and opponents as honest in their intentions.
