Members

Hockey PEI has released the following information regarding the Hockey PEI 2021-2022 Return to Hockey Plan. We ask that all members take the time to read the document in its entirety. If you have questions or need clarification regarding the Return to Hockey Plan, please send your requests to sprmha@hotmail.com.

Following the government’s recent update regarding its delay in moving to Phase 5 (Release of all restrictions), we have completed our RETURN TO HOCKEY PLAN, version 21-01 for the upcoming season which is attached within and is subject to change.

A few key updates within the plan to make you all aware of:

• The Hockey Canada Planning a Safe Return to Hockey (COVID Module) is not a requirement for Team officials this season. It is however available for those who wish to complete it HERE.
• Cohort Limits have changed/increased, pending your facilities, operational plans have been approved. The Government has communicated directly with the facilities regarding their cohort limits (see the plan for more details).
• Contact Tracing requirements for all ice-times remain in effect until further notice as per the Governments indoor gathering guidelines. MHA’s are asked to store this information for 30 days.
• Masks will be mandatory to be worn by players, team staff and officials in certain areas while inside the facility (see plan). It is recommended that masks be worn by spectators in certain areas while inside the facility (see plan).
• Hygiene will always be of utmost importance to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Ensure hands are washed/sanitized regularly, equipment is kept clean, you are not yelling or spitting (on or off the ice) and as always if you are feeling unwell, STAY HOME.
• Interprovincial play and Tournaments are now permitted based on the current government guidelines for off-island travel and sporting events. Members are reminded that permits for both interprovincial travel and Tournament sanctioning must be obtained.
