Locker Room Monitor Role
Ensuring a safe space for athletes
Locker room monitors help to keep our athletes safe while preparing for practices and games. Monitors help to maintain a respectful environment in the locker room for every athlete.
Key Responsibilities
Arrive Early
Arrive at the time specified by your coach to open the locker room to players.
Maintain a Safe Environment
Unauthorized people should not be allowed in the locker room. Make sure athletes are dressing for hockey without including horseplay. Monitor the environment for positive and productive conversation.
Exit Respectfully
When it's time to leave, encourage players to leave the locker room better than they found it.
