Mission, Vision and Values

We act honestly, transparently, consistently and accountably. We earn trust by doing what we say we will do.

• We communicate expectations, decisions and the reasons behind them clearly and honestly.
• We apply policies, standards and processes fairly and consistently.
• We own our actions and decisions, correct mistakes and follow through on commitments.

We listen, communicate and work together across roles, regions, organizations and communities toward shared goals.

• We listen to understand and seek input from people affected before making significant decisions.
• We communicate clearly, early and consistently, share information, and work across departments, associations, leagues, regions and partners rather than in silos.
• We recognize, value and support the contributions of members, volunteers, staff and partners.

We create safe, welcoming and accessible hockey experiences that respect the diversity of Manitoba’s people, abilities, identities, cultures, communities and geography.

• We actively seek to understand the needs and experiences of different participants and communities.
• We identify and reduce barriers to participation, leadership, volunteering and development.
• We create physically and emotionally safe environments that support wellbeing and where people feel respected, supported and valued, and able to say, “This is my sport.”

We welcome feedback, and continually strive to improve how hockey is governed, supported and delivered.

• We use feedback, evidence and experience to improve governance, programs, services, standards and pathways.
• We are willing to test new approaches and evolve when the game or the needs of our communities change.
• We pursue excellence while preserving Manitoba hockey’s passion, humility, community character and identity.
