In addition to the development of our hockey players and enjoyment of the sport of hockey, the safety, security and protection of our participants is central to Kent Valley Hockey Association (KVHA) goals. KVHA adheres to USA Hockey’s SafeSport Program as a means to help protect its participants from physical abuse, sexual abuse and other types of misconduct, including emotional abuse, bullying, threats, harassment and hazing. To help prevent abuse or misconduct from occurring in our locker rooms or associated locker room hallways, KVHA has adopted the following policy. This policy is designed to maintain personal privacy as well as to reduce the risk of misconduct in locker rooms and the associated locker room hallways.

USA Hockey Policy on Locker Room Supervision
(June 2010)
A couple of notes on this policy... our youth players need to know that their hockey environment is safe. This policy ensures that a responsible adult is looking over their shoulders at all times. Of course, all locker room monitors should be gender correct and the co-ed locker room policy must be followed as described in the current USA Hockey Guide. Also, all monitors must be screened and otherwise meet all USA Hockey screening standards.
