An online course on how to act rink-side will be mandatory for all parents in the province registering a hockey player aged four to eight years old.
Brian Whitehead, the general manager of Hockey New Brunswick says they'll be introducing the course in September, with no charge to parents. Hockey New Brunswick on the other hand, will pay about $30,000 a year. Whitehead says he'll likely give parents a deadline of mid-December to complete the course.
