For the purpose of this Social Media and Networking Policy, the policy will encompass public communications through such internet mediums and websites as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, Instagram, Snapchat and any other social media network that allows users to communicate online.
The policy is applicable to all members of the MJHL Community at the Club and League levels including Governors, General Managers, Hockey Operations staff, Business Operations staff, Scouts, Medical personnel, on-ice and off-ice officials, billets, players and MJHL Office staff.
The MJHL recognizes and appreciates the value of social media and the importance of social networking to all of its stakeholders. The MJHL also respects the right of all Clubs and League personnel to express their views publicly. At the same time we must be aware of the dangers social media and networking can present.
The purpose of this policy is to educate the MJHL Community on the risks of social media and to ensure all Clubs and League personnel are aware that conduct deemed to be inappropriate may be subject to disciplinary action by the Club and The League.
2. SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES
a) the MJHL holds the entire MJHL Community who participates in social media and networking to the same standards as it does for all other forms of media including radio, television and print.
b) comments or remarks of an inappropriate nature which are detrimental to a Club or the League will not be tolerated and will be subject to disciplinary action.
