Dressing Room Policy

For those coming into Atom for the first time, there are a couple of changes for you from Novice.  From this division on up, the female members of the team and staff will change in a separate dressing room from the male members of the team.  The males must be fully dressed ten minutes before game time as this is when the female members join the team in the main dressing room.  If the boys are not ready, they must wait to change until after the team leaves the room to go on the ice.  Please note that the “no females” policy, which is in place to protect players and volunteers alike, extends to mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, etc.  The coaches and their assistants will be there to help the kids with their skate tying or other equipment issues.  Conversely, fathers, brothers, uncles and so on, are not allowed in the girls’ dressing rooms for the same reasons.  This is part of our Constitution and By-laws and must be strictly enforced.  I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Another difference is that there is no WMHA sponsored tournament for any of the House divisions, Major or Minor, at Christmas or any other time of the year.  Teams must look outside our Association if they wish to participate in any extra-curricular games or tournaments.  In the same vein, we do not have a “wrap-up day” at the end of the year where all the teams play a last game and receive a trophy.  After the semi-finals are completed, only the top two teams move on to the “Day of Champions” which will be held much earlier this season, possibly the weekend before March Break.

Both the Director for House Minor, Rob Lapointe, and me, are looking forward to this upcoming season and will be making arrangements over the next few months for a smooth transition into the new hockey year. 

Enjoy your summer and we will see in the arenas in September!
