Hello Chebucto Families,

  Public Health has announced a Phase approach to restrictions. Please see the releases below: Effective Feb 14^th, 2022.

All current practice schedules will be in place until Monday, Feb 14^th at 12:01 am.

 This means that on Monday Feb 14^th- games can resume. Team managers have been contacted by Katie, our ice scheduler to inform them of what to expect over the coming weeks, we encourage managers to communicate this to their teams.

   You will find Central Minor (competitive) and Metro Minor(recreation) sites have already populated games into team calendars. Please go to your team tab and have a look More info on this will follow later (season and year end plans)- in the meantime- enjoy getting back to playing games and watching our players enjoy the game they love!!

Field of play and spectator allowances have been increased- Remember the field of play covers- on ice, bench, timekeeper area, penalty box and dressing rooms. Each facility will have their own policy with capacity and spectator allowances- Safety Reps-please familiarize yourself with each arena. I expect an update for the Spryfield Lions rink policy before Monday- it will be posted on our website under the Covid 19 tab.

HNS has noted the following info as it relates to Minor Hockey:

Phase 1 will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Feb, 14 and the following restrictions impacting hockey will go into effect:

• Groups of up to 60 are now permitted in the field of play.
• Teams can have practices and regular league games (see explanation below).
• Competition is limited to regular league games. This refers to the current league that your team is playing in. If a game is part of your team’s regular league or competitive schedule, it is allowed. Bringing together teams that typically do not play one another is not allowed.
• Tournaments are still not permitted.
• Physical distancing is not required in the field of play; masks are recommended at all times when not on the ice surface.
• Spectators are allowed up to the formal gathering limit; the formal gathering limit for gatherings is 50 per cent of capacity indoors. Capacities will vary by facility. Please check with your local rink. (NOTE: While the Feb 9^th  press release states that fitness, recreation and leisure businesses and organizations can operate at 75 per cent capacity and references arenas, we have clarified with the province that this section does not apply to hockey or spectators at a hockey game).
