XXI. GRIEVANCE RESOLUTION POLICY:

Krivo School of hockey is committed to creating a positive hockey experience for our young athletes and their parents. Even with good and open communication conflicts may arise. Although we strive to make these instances rare, we know they will happen. The grievance resolution procedure is as follows:

1. Follow the 24-hour rule. An aggrieved person must wait until at least twenty-four (24) hours (the "Cooling Off Period") after the incident occurred to proceed with a Grievance claim. After the Cooling Off Period passes, the Complainant may start the formal Grievance process. Krivo School of Hockey implemented the requirement that the Cooling Off Period must pass before the formal Grievance process can be initiated not to make it difficult to initiate a Grievance, but to discourage frivolous Grievances from being initiated since Krivo School of Hockey expects persons to file a Grievance only under serious and/or difficult

circumstances.

2. After the Cooling Off Period has passed, Complainant is encouraged to discuss the Grievance Incident with their team manager, if there is a team manager, to determine if a resolution of the Grievance is possible.

3. If Complainant is not a satisfied with the resolution of the Grievance Incident and Complainant still wishes to pursue a Grievance further, then Complainant must communicate that information to the team manager, if there is one. If there is not a team manager, the Complainant may speak to Andrei Krivokrasov.

4. The Team Manager or Andrei Krivokrasov will work to resolve the issue with Andrei Krivokrasov and the parties involved. Andrei Krivokrasov will review the Grievance and conduct an investigation of the Grievance to the extent he deems necessary. Upon completing that investigation, Andrei Krivokrasov may: (i) independently try and resolve the Grievance in any manner that he believes is in the best interest of all parties involved with the

Grievance; and/or (ii) Andrei Krivokrasov may decide to designate a committee to try and resolve the Grievance.

8. Upon being referred a Grievance, Andrei Krivokrasov, or a person or committee designated by Andrei Krivokrasov, may conduct investigations and carry out other fact finding procedures as the committee believes is appropriate in order to gain as much information about the Grievance. Once Andrei Krivokrasov or a person or committee designated by him completes its

investigation, it will make a decision/resolution regarding the Grievance and will communicate that decision/resolution to Andrei Krivokrasov, the Complainant and other parties involved in the Grievance.

9. Any decision/resolution of the committee shall be approved by Andrei Krivokrasov. Upon Andrei Krivokrasov’s approval, the decision is final and is not subject to further appeal.

Conclusion

The Grievance Procedures were written to provide for a "loose" governing structure with respect to responding to a Grievance so that the Team Manager and Andrei Krivokrasov enjoy as much flexibility as reasonably possible to deal with a variety of Grievances that will arise from time to time. Should a member have any questions regarding Grievance Procedures, please contact Andrei Krivokrasov.

Comments, questions and concerns regarding: players, managers, or coaches of other teams; referees; Krivo School of Hockey or other associations, or other leagues; CAHA; or USA Hockey shall be directed first to the appropriate team manager. After that, the appropriate chain of command will be to Andrei Krivokrasov.

Please note: At this time, there is no Executive Committee or Board of Directors. Andrei Krivokrasov is the sole decision maker. If Andrei Krivokrasov designates an individual or committee, they will act accordingly, and the above examples will be more applicable.
