DID YOU KNOW?
The Minimum Attire Rule
To best promote inclusion and to respect the privacy of all participants on a team, Hockey Canada requires
all participants to wear ‘minimum attire’ at all times in a dressing room or in dressing environments where
more than one participant is present. This means that participants should arrive at the rink wearing a base
layer (e.g., shorts and t-shirt, compression shorts and shirt or sports bra). A participant not arriving at the
rink wearing their base layer can use an appropriate private space (e.g., private restroom stalls or
empty/unused dressing rooms) to change into the base layer and then enter the team dressing room with
the other participants.
It is the responsibility of all coaches and team staff to instruct players regarding the minimum attire rule
and ensure that players are complying with this Policy.
