HEO AA/A Policies
Videotaping
Note: HEO Policy 6.1 - Portable Digital Devices is in effect for all League events. The Policy can be found on the HEO website at https://www.hockeyeasternontario.ca/governance/by-laws-policies/#administrative
Further to this policy, HEO Minor AA/A does not permit videotaping of League events (including games, all-star events or showcase events) from the player benches, either penalty booth or the timekeeper box.
A game may be videotaped from the stands and/or spectator area, so long as:
1. The camera does not zoom in on or focus entirely upon a particular player or players; i.e. wide angle shots only. The sole exception is where a parent wishes to video their own child.
2. Parents in the stands are not videotaped without their express permission.
3. Should a coach or team official ask that no player from their team be recorded this request will be honoured.
Anyone contravening these restrictions will be dealt with by the League.
