London Devilettes Dressing Room Policy

For the London Devilettes, the privacy, safety, and comfort of our players always come first. Our dressing room policy reflects that commitment and is mandatory at the U7 division and above. There are no exceptions.

Who May Enter the Dressing Room

  • Only rostered/approved adult female team staff are permitted in the dressing room.

  • All non-approved adults are strictly forbidden from entering at any time.

  • Male rostered bench staff may enter only:

    • During the final 10 minutes prior to each game, or

    • Within 5 minutes post-game

    • And only after the all-clear has been given by the rostered/approved female bench member.

Before entering, coaches must ensure that all players are fully dressed.

The 2-Deep Rule

The “2-Deep” rule must be followed at all times.
No adult — male or female — may ever be alone in the dressing room with players. Period.

Player Preparation

Players are encouraged to:

  • Arrive wearing their preferred underclothing.

  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before game and with enough time to be fully dressed at least 10 minutes before game time.

Players who are ready early will be asked to step out of the dressing room if they need help tying skates.

If your player is new to hockey or requires assistance getting dressed, you may choose to bring her to the arena already in her equipment (skates to be put on at the rink). Please do whatever works best for your family while respecting the policy above.

Pre-Game & Post-Game Time

Coaches may request that all non-players leave the dressing room during:

  • The final 10 minutes before a game (for pre-game chat and preperation)

  • A brief post-game period for team comments and cheers

If a player arrives late and is not dressed 10 minutes prior to the game, she may be asked to:

  • Dress in the washroom, or

  • Wait briefly until the coach has addressed the team


This policy exists to protect every player’s privacy and to create a safe, respectful environment for everyone. We appreciate your full cooperation and support in upholding these standards.
