***REMINDER*** Masks are Mandatory

Good evening, 

The Association would like to send a friendly reminder to all members that masks are mandatory as per Hockey PEI Phase 4 Protocols. Various facilities may have different guidelines and protocols for wearing masks, but all members, including spectators, must wear a mask for all minor hockey functions regardless of the facility guidelines.

Except for players on the ice surface (and coaches during practice), masks must be worn by Hockey PEI members, including:

• Entering and exiting the facility
• Spectators
• In dressing rooms by players (until they are putting helmets on to go onto the ice) and bench staff
• When applying the mask in the dressing room post-game or practice: first wash/sanitize hands and wash face with a clean cloth before applying.
• Bench staff on the bench
• On-ice officials in dressing rooms
• Off-ice officials

Recognizing that there are some instances in which masks cannot be worn, exemptions may be made by the Minor Hockey Associations or Hockey PEI when accompanied by a physician’s note.
