##WELCOME TO /R/HOCKEYPLAYERS

**A place to learn about the great game of hockey. Share ways to improve your skills, hockey highlights, discuss the game, coaching resources and more.**

Please keep things geared towards playing (rather than watching) hockey. By this, we don't mean that hockey videos are banned. Rather, this means that content should focus on hockey played by our members rather than NHL/professional hockey. The exception to this is pro hockey content for the purpose of training or skill development of our members.

Discrimination based on race, sex, orientation, gender, etc. is not tolerated. Unfortunately, these problems still exist. Be part of the solution.

Be civil. Personal insults are not allowed here. 

Promotional posts are allowed to a reasonable extent, provided certain conditions are met:

* Honesty: Be open and honest about the fact that you are promoting your own channel, brand, product, etc. 
* Community: You should be engaging with the community as a whole – including other posts, not just your own. (Occasional exceptions to this may be granted for announcements and product promotions with significant value to our members.
* Frequency: Don’t overdo it. More than one post a week is probably too much.

We have a policy against low quality posts such as memes, shitposts, macros, 'MRW' etc.


If your post does not show up in the new section, please **[message](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fhockeyplayers)** the moderators.
