GBNHC PLAYER AND PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT

APPROVED AND EFFECTIVE JULY 17, 2025

In accordance with the Bylaws of the Glenbrook North Hockey Club (“GBNHC”), each player, along with his/her parents, as members of the GBNHC, agrees to abide by the rules in this Code of Conduct along with all other GBNHC policies as a prerequisite to participation in the hockey program. All Board Members, coaches, and other officials are instructed to carry out the enforcement of this Code of Conduct.

GENERAL STATEMENT

In an effort to make hockey a more desirable, enjoyable, and rewarding experience for all participants, and to further promote the organization’s objectives of providing an environment where all participants can have fun, develop skills, and learn sportsmanship, team play, and conduct themselves as responsible law abiding citizens, the GBNHC has implemented a “Zero Tolerance Policy” with respect to the behavior of players, coaches, managers, and parents who are members.

As representatives of the GBNHC, all participants have an obligation to represent themselves in an exemplary manner at all times. Participants in the GBNHC program also have a responsibility to adhere to the policies established by the GBNHC, Glenbrook North High School, School District 225, the Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI), USA Hockey, and the Scholastic Hockey League (SHL). The GBNHC supports Glenbrook North High School’s enforcement of its academic standards and rules of behavior by taking disciplinary action when a player is determined by the school to have violated a school rule or academic standard.

ADHERENCE TO GLENBROOK NORTH HIGH SCHOOL RULES

The GBNHC’s teams are not affiliated with or governed by Glenbrook North High School, School District 225, or the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). However, the GBNHC has decided to adopt the IHSA minimum academic requirements and the Code of Conduct outlined in the Glenbrook North Student/Parent Handbook (“Handbook”), a copy of which can be viewed online at Glenbrook North High School’s web site. In the event of an inconsistency between the Handbook and the GBNHC Code of Conduct, the provisions of this Code of Conduct shall apply. Code of Conduct rules are in effect during the Academic School Year and apply to all rostered Glenbrook North players on Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.

Any violation can result in expulsion from the program for either or both player and parent as determined by The GBNHC Board.

PLAYERS WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION IN GAMES AND PRACTICES IF MINIMUM ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET.
