TEAM RULES/RINK ETIQUETTE

Rink Etiquette: This policy is very clear cut and will be enforced by Athletic Director Catabia. BH Fans represent the program, just as the players do. Any negativity or hostile behavior towards BH Players, opposing players/fans and officials will result in immediate ejection and disbarment from future home and away games. Please be a positive influence on our student athletes. No parent/guardian wants another adult speaking negatively about their child, therefore please reap what you sow.
