Policies or conduct code for Hockey games
I know our forumn is very knowledgeable and is great at finding information. So my question is , does our facilty actually have a code of conduct or something for the hockey teams that attend our games? And is it distributed before they attend the game?
I have found this year to be the most frustrating, regarding the younger hockey teams visting our arena. I attend the games to watch the game. The GMC is not a daycare centre.
I remember when I was a kid ,that age, the first things I was told, is ...you do not walk through an isle during play, you must wait for a whistle or stoppage in play.
2nd, if you need to get to the isleway and need to pass a person, you say "excuse me" or "pardon me".

I agree fully, however a lot of the adults in the arena could follow the same protocol and set examples as well.

Re: Policies or conduct code for Hockey games
It does seem like it is enforced that people have to wait for a whistle to allow people back to their seats after an intermission. Whenever there is a long stretch of play before the first whistle, it appears that there are many fans coming in from the concourse when that first whistle blows.
Other than that, when talking about people leaving their seats during play or other etiquette things, I don't know how enforceable that is. The problem lies in that the only real penalty you can enforce is kicking someone out of the arena like they do when someone is drunk - you can't really do that for kids not saying "excuse me" or leaving their seat during play. All you can do is nag or escalate it to a higher authority who will also nag. I doubt any arena will actually kick someone out for this.
If kids are just hanging out in the aisle or sitting on the steps, the ushers should be making them move back to their seats because that's not an etiquette issue, it's a safety issue.

You wanna see kids sitting in the aisles look over to the aisle between 110 and 111.All the kids from the school doing the national anthem.They are constantly climbing up the boards ,leaning on the glass.I have seen the usher come down only twice all season and it was the same game.VERY ANNOYING

Re: Policies or conduct code for Hockey games
I can't stand when kids play in the aisles during game play either. We have 2 boys that we take to games and we make sure they sit in their seats...they cheer and have fun but they are respectful of those around them. I think the ushers should enforce the fact that no one should be in the aisles etc. during play....but where are the parents of these kids, shouldn't they carry the burden of responsibility for their children?? We don't look to the ushers or other staff to teach our children how to behave.
