Last year a research team from Mount Royal University began a three-year study examining the perceived effect of the Respect in Sport parent program implemented by Hockey Calgary. The aim of the study is to see if the program has an effect on parental behavior at hockey games and practices. In other words, if the culture of parent behavior at hockey games and practices has changed since the implementation of the program.
In an effort to continue to examine perceived changes we are once again asking for your participation in the study.
The second year of this research study involves completing an online survey which includes both closed-ended and open-ended questions. We are asking for participation from parents/guardians/coaches/officials that completed the Respect in Sport program for EITHER the 2010/2011 or 2011/2012 hockey season.
If you completed the Respect in Sport online program last year (2010/2011 hockey season) please use the following URL to complete this years survey:

If you completed the Respect in Sport online program this year (2011/2012 hockey season) please use the following URL to complete the survey:

If you have any questions please contact Julie Weible at 403-440-6986 or respectinsport@mtroyal.ca
Once again we thank you for taking the time to make the sport of hockey a safer and more enjoyable experience for all.
