The following conduct guidelines are based on the premise that everyone participating in the Seattle Women’s Hockey Club (SWHC) is doing so voluntarily, and solely for the purpose of playing ice hockey. While ice hockey is a competitive sport, it is assumed that a spirit of cooperation and support will exist among the club members. Any SWHC participant who willfully performs any act that substantially interferes with or is detrimental to the orderly operation of the SWHC program shall be subject to discipline, suspension, or expulsion. Any such acts by participants on or off the ice at any time during the season constitute sufficient cause for discipline, suspension, or expulsion. Such acts shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Failure to demonstrate courtesy, fairness, and respect for other participants, spectators, coaches, board members, SWHC property, or other property.
• Creation of dissension among any members of the SWHC, including but not limited to slander, misrepresentation, or falsification.
• In cases where a conflict, complaint, or concern arises, failure to follow the steps outlined in the SWHC Grievance Policy.
