MONTREAL — Parents of minor hockey players in Quebec will now be required to make sure their conduct in the stands measures up to new guidelines set by the provincial government. The Education Department in conjunction with Quebec’s minor hockey federation has put together a behaviour protocol governing how hockey associations should handle aggressive and unacceptable events involving parents of minor hockey players. “And unfortunately today, we continue to see this type of behaviour too often in Quebec’s arenas.”Paul Menard, head of Hockey Quebec, said the guide will be sent immediately to all minor hockey associations across the province. For parents who threaten a coach or someone else, they could be expelled from the league. Menard said the guidelines detail how associations should react up to the point when police need to be called.
