Hay River recently witnessed an exciting addition to its vibrant community - the introduction of green arm bands! These eye-catching accessories hold a special significance as they are proudly worn by our dedicated youth officials. Designed to promote respect and encouragement, these green arm bands serve as a symbol of support for players, coaches, and spectators alike.
The green arm bands carry a simple yet powerful message: "If you see green, they're under 18." This statement serves as a reminder to everyone involved in youth hockey that the individuals wearing these arm bands are young officials who are still in the process of learning the intricacies of the game. It is crucial that we treat them with respect, patience, and understanding as they navigate their roles and develop their knowledge of the sport.
One of the primary objectives of introducing the green arm bands is to encourage and support our youth officials. These dedicated individuals have made a commitment to contribute to the growth and development of youth hockey in our community. By wearing the green arm bands, they proudly display their role as officials and signify their willingness to learn, improve, and provide a fair and enjoyable experience for all participants.
Congratulations to our new Hay River youth officials. Together, we can create a positive and nurturing environment for the future of hockey in our community. Let's continue to encourage them in their commitment to youth hockey, both on and off the ice. By doing so, we contribute to the growth of the sport and create a positive atmosphere for everyone involved.
