The NHL and NHLPA have established a Declaration of Principles that fosters positive values and life skills in the hockey community.

The declaration was created after a group of governing bodies established a set of shared beliefs to help deliver positive experiences to all hockey participants and to guide the behavior of hockey organizations.

Thank you, Hockey, for being more than a game. https://t.co/RDMgRUSf5L #ThisIsHockey pic.twitter.com/AMumv4d5Pq

"The Declaration of Principles represents the hockey world speaking with one voice: our game teaches life lessons that can guide a meaningful future," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. "While not everyone who plays the game will have an NHL career, every player at every level - and the family and friends of every player - can enjoy rewarding experiences and share a common commitment to respect, inclusiveness and sportsmanship."
