- Conditioning activities
- Games
- Practices
- Game prep time (up to 90 min prior)
- Curfews
- Cell phone use during team functions or regarding a team’s coaches, players, or functions
The following items can and possibly should have recommendations for team policy but aren’t to be enforced or punishable by coaches:
- Any activity that requires money to participate
- Conditioning/Off-ice training
- Swimming at ASC
- Conditioning at paid gyms
- Meals while out of town for away games
- Hotel stays

- Swimming or other activities
- Activities while out of town for away games
- Travel to and from team functions – unless travel is provided by the association

If it is determined that a player is punished because of reasons that aren’t to be enforced by coaches, the issue will be reviewed by the coaching director and/or board members.
