Jack's Pledge

I pledge allegiance to the game of hockey, the fastest, hardest, most beautiful game in the world. Hockey is a state of extremes: extreme speed, extreme skill, extreme discipline.

Participation is a privilege extended to the toughest, the smartest, the best. As a member of this elite club, I pledge to uphold its code of honor: I coach to win by being the toughest, the smartest, the best. I coach to win by following the rules. I do not coach to win by any other means.

I will teach no harm. I will teach the rules of hockey. I will teach to not Board, Cross-Check, or Check from Behind. Ever. I teach players to stop when the whistle blows.

We may wear different jerseys, but we are all on the same team: Jack’s team. We are all hockey players. We all live in the same house.

My players are are Scorers, Grinders, Stoppers, Playmakers, Superstars. And we are Enforcers--Enforcers of Jack’s Pledge. Play safe. Play smart. Game on.
