Objectives and Guidelines

Introduction and Overview   

Each year the House League program evolves and continues to improve.  The club relies almost entirely on volunteer parents to coach, operate the clock, organize team functions, etc.  We are always trying to provide the players with a fun and happy hockey experience, and instill a love of hockey – a game they can they play the rest of their lives.  It is also important that coaches and parents have a fun and enjoyable season getting to know their neighbors and local children they will watch grow up.

 The Winnetka Hockey Club and The Winnetka Park District strive each year to put forward a hockey house league that supports and promotes:

• good sportsmanship and fair play

• team play

• improve individual skills

• learn components of team play

• make new friends

• have FUN

 The Winnetka House League program has a long and successful history of promoting parity amongst teams and players. Parity and the importance of good sportsmanship and fair play can not be over-emphasized.  It is the foundation of our hockey program. 

It is our sincere goal and objective to give every player as good and positive a hockey and team experience as possible.  We do not believe that excessive enthusiasm and pressure to win is consistent with that goal.  We expect coaches, players, and teams to win with dignity and lose with grace.
