August 19th, 2010 – A group of five Member Leagues within the CanadianJunior Hockey League (CJHL) are proud to announce an unprecedented joint effortto eliminate violence and bullying from Junior A hockey.
This initiative has developedfrom a partnership between the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), AlbertaJunior Hockey League (AJHL), Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), ManitobaJunior Hockey League (MJHL), and Maritime Junior Hockey League (MHL), who haveformed together to create the Junior ASupplement, which will be launched as a pilot project in the 2010-2011 CJHLSeason.
The Junior A Supplement has been created to protect junior-aged hockeyplayers by addressing actions such as Blows to the Head, Dangerous Hits,Accumulated Major Penalties, Accumulated Misconducts, Instigating and UnnecessaryFighting. The supplement increasesteam, coach and player accountability through the tracking of repeat offenders,increased suspensions and significant financial penalties. It builds on the progressiveregulations undertaken over the past decade by the participating Leagues and Branchesto reduce bullying and violence from Junior A Hockey in Canada.
The pilot project wasdeveloped as a response to the implementation of Hockey Canada Regulation 6.7, which calls for an automatic gamemisconduct whenever a major penalty for fighting is assessed. The participatingMember Leagues have gone one step further by targeting the types of dangerousplays that often result in fights and other types of violence. The Leagues within the pilot projectwill not be subject to Hockey CanadaRegulation 6.7, which will be implemented across the remainder of theLeagues in CJHL.
“The five Member Leaguesinvolved in the creation of the Junior ASupplement have taken a tremendous step in the effort to reduce andeliminate violence and bullying in Junior A hockey,” said AJHL President CraigT. Cripps. “Our League and its teams,coaches and players are committed to providing a safe environment for everyplayer while also maintaining an exciting, physical brand of hockey on theice.”
The Junior A Supplement hasbeen developed in cooperation with the provincial branches of BC Hockey, HockeyAlberta, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, Hockey Manitoba, Hockey North,Hockey Nova Scotia, Hockey P.E.I. and Hockey New Brunswick.
The two-year pilot project willcompare data from the participating leagues using the Junior A Supplement and a control group using Hockey Canada Playing Rule 6.7. The data will determine whether fightingis reduced in the Junior A game by ejecting a player for his first fightingmajor and the effect on other aggressive and violent behavior.
