BC Hockey A.05 “Team officials should not allow an injured player to be on the players’ bench during a game or practice without Hockey Canada / BC Hockey required protective equipment .”
You can find the Protective Equipment required under Hockey Canada Rule 3.6.
This also means no player should be sitting on the bench or watching a game or practice without full gear on. Please do not allow siblings or other team players to be on the bench while a team is on the ice.
REMINDER: Always ensure your player’s gear is fitting properly and they are wearing their neck guards.
