Tobacco-Free Sports and Recreation Policies EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since 2008, Ontario’s seven Tobacco Control Area Network (TCAN) regions have been engaged in promoting tobacco-free sports and recreation (TFSR) policies. They have undertaken a variety of initiatives to support sport and recreation organizations in the adoption of TFSR policies and in developing signage. TCANs face particular challenges in local hockey settings where resources are limited and communities rely on volunteers. The main goal of this evaluation was to explore the implementation and impact of TFSR policies within the sport of hockey in four Ontario public health units (PHUs) and examine the barriers and facilitators in TFSR policy implementation. This report is intended to serve as a practical, experience-oriented resource for the TFSR Community of Practice and other interested stakeholders to consider when moving forward in the area of TFSR policy implementation. Specific evaluation questions: • What TFSR policies are being implemented in hockey organizations and teams within PHUs in Ontario? • What is the level of awareness and support of these policies within organizations, and among team members, parents, coaches and spectators? • What is the impact of implementing TFSR policies on individual behaviours and in communities (e.g., player, parent and coach smoking behaviour, exposure to secondhand smoke, social modelling, youth perceptions of smoking, environmental protection, and smoking cessation)? • What are the barriers and facilitators to implementing TFSR policies at the organizational level? • What are the barriers and facilitators to implementing and enforcing TFSR policies at the team level? The four case studies reflect a range of age, sex and geography in the Ontario hockey community. They are: • Case Study I–Peewee/Bantam teams (2 teams) • Case Study II–Women’s League team • Case Study III–Junior B team • Case Study IV–University team Ontario Tobacco Research Unit 1
