September Spotlight – Week 2: Posting Photos & Protecting Privacy
Parents are the biggest supporters of our players, and photos are a wonderful way to celebrate their hockey journey. But before hitting “post,” it’s important to think about privacy and safety.
What feels like a small detail online can have bigger consequences for players, families, and our association.
Best Practices for Posting Hockey Photos:
✅ Celebrate the fun — focus on team spirit, friendships, and action shots.
✅ Share through official CMHA channels like TeamSnap when possible.
✅ Create a private team group if posting more photos such as Facebook, WhatsApp or Google Photos.
✅ Always ask before posting photos of other children.
✅ Ensure background details (like license plates, school logos, or home addresses) are not visible.
Things to Avoid:
❌ Sharing personal information.
❌ Tagging children or players without consent.
❌ Posting anything that may embarrass or exclude another player.
