This was a common thread from all MHAs so just putting it up here:
*Players and spectators should have POV and ID on them at all times
*FACE MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES, there are 0 exceptions to this rule, there are NO MEDICAL exemptions to this rule. Children under 3 are not required to be masked.
*Single ply buffs that pull up from the neck are no longer considered a mask for spectators or players.
*Players may not enter a facility if they forget their masks by simply pulling their sweater over their face. No mask no entry, period.
*Players can remove their face masks when they have a helmet on and are about to do the straps.
*Coaches must wear their masks in the dressing room and on the bench during games.
*Players in dressing rooms must be wearing masks.
*There must be 2 coaches in the dressing room at all times to enforce the mask rules.
*This is will now be a zero tolerance rule and both Public Health and MHAs will be monitoring this closely. Expect Public Health Officials to be visiting facilities and ensuring these rules are being followed.

*Dressing room assignment determines which stairs you use to access ice level
*The 4pm rental will be using changing rooms 1 and 2 and will use the stairs on the north side of the arena (pool side). Participants at 5pm will use the stairwell at the south end of the arena and locker rooms 3 and 4. This rotation will continue for each new group through the evening. A stanchion will be placed between dressing rooms 2 and 3, and each side will have their own access door to the ice. Groups will be asked to exit the arena using the same stairwell used to enter. This should further reduce the risk of participants from different groups coming within close contact.
*The visiting team must screen their own players/spectators
*The security guard will check everyone's POV and ID |
