The goal of West Fargo Hockey Association Compliance is to receive your compliance concern and thoroughly investigate. Please do not hesitate to bring things to our attention. Our process and procedures are designed to resolve concerns in a timely manner while respecting the importance of conducting a thorough review of the circumstances.
The West Fargo Hockey Association’s 2025-26 compliance policy will involve submission of the grievance form (link available to start season) for review by the compliance committee. The committee (roster announced closer to season) will meet every Monday at noon during the season with follow-up meetings scheduled as needed. The vote of this committee, after thorough investigation and analysis of a filed report, will be the final say in the matter, unless involvement from the North Dakota Amateur Hockey Association, law enforcement, or USA Hockey is necessary.
Thank you for making us aware of your concerns and please be prepared to expand on these concerns when contacted by one of our compliance committee members. The West Fargo Hockey Association has the right to make executive decisions regarding but not limited to; WFHA, NDAHA, and USA Hockey regulations, personal improvement plans, suspensions, coaching, programming, and overall function or structure of hockey operations.
2025-26 Zero-Tolerance List and Protocol
Breaking any of the rules on the zero-tolerance list will put you and/or a player in the Association’s disciplinary process. This zero-tolerance list was created to properly punish the most severe violations. Violations outside of this list will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Reporting will involve a uniform incident report form that will be submitted to a compliance committee of three. The vote of this committee will be the final say in the matter, unless involvement from USA Hockey, North Dakota Amateur Hockey, law enforcement or SafeSport is necessary. Board and Staff/Compliance officers of WFHA will be held to these same standards. If they should become part of the process their continued involvement with WFHA will be determined by the Board of Directors.
Zero-Tolerance List (update 5/25)
WFHA will implement a 3-strike policy with players which requires coaches to approach compliance if consistent behavior is witnessed following warnings and coaching tactics.
