The Ice Hockey New South Wales (IHNSW) Policies page outlines the key guidelines that govern the conduct, safety, and integrity of the sport across all levels in New South Wales. These policies cover critical areas such as child protection, anti-discrimination, player welfare, and the promotion of fair play. Designed to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, our policies ensure that IHNSW adheres to the highest standards of ethical conduct and legal compliance. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, these policies are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest developments in the sport and legal requirements.
As IHNSW is a member of Ice Hockey Australia (IHA), the policies, rules and regulations, and National Integrity Framework set forth by IHA also apply to all participants at IHNSW-sanctioned events. We encourage all participants to refer back to this page frequently for the most current information and updates.
