Green Armband Policy
RESPECT THE GAME - RESPECT THE OFFICIALS

ALLIANCE Hockey is excited to introduce the Green Armband Policy organization-wide as of the 2024-2025 season.

The Green Armband initiative was piloted within the Tri City Hockey League in the 2023-2024 season and has proven successful in other hockey branches across the country and in other provincial sports organizations.

The Green Armband Policy is designed to support on-ice officials by having entry level and/or minor-aged officials sporting green armbands signaling a reminder to participants and spectators to modify and control negative emotions and behaviour before, during and after games.

The green armband represents the idea that these officials are new to the officiating world in terms of their age and are learning and developing. Ultimately, the goal is to highlight that these are young officials providing a service to the game of hockey in a public space and should be respected in that role.
