Proof of Vaccinations and Provincial Guidance

Hi Folks,

Firstly, the Chebucto Executive would like to thank the members of the association that have reached out with questions pursuant to the recent Provincial announcements regarding moving to Phase 5 and further measures such as proof of vaccination. We will be taking these concerns forward for discussion. 

Chebucto Minor Hockey will and must follow the policies set out by Hockey Nova Scotia, which in turn receives policy direction from Sport Nova Scotia (i.e. the Provincial Government).

We are working with Hockey Nova Scotia to clarify the specifics as to what this will mean and how this will look when our members, volunteers and players show up to the arenas/facilities and communication will be forthcoming likely following meetings happening on or around Sept 20th.

For now we will continue to follow our Phase 4 protocols and ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate the rapidly changing landscape.

We highly recommend that, in accordance with anticipated provincial policy, that you take measures as soon as possible to ensure vaccination for participants and spectators as best you are able in advance of Oct 4th when these measures are expected be in force. 

If you have any questions, or concerns please feel free to contact Bryan Esbaugh - VP Risk Management.

Go Chebucto

COVID-19 Safety During Development Sessions

Hi Folks,

I'm sure everyone is very much looking forward to kicking off the Chebucto Development Sessions in anticipation of tryouts and the regular season. 

Just a friendly reminder to please ensure you and your family abide by Health Nova Scotia COVID-19 regulations. In particular, if you have COVID-19 symptoms and are waiting to be tested and/or get your test results you or your family may be legally required to self-isolate for up to 14 days, or as directed by Public Health.

So, please do not show up to the development sessions if you or your child are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms and waiting to be tested, awaiting test results, or otherwise been told by Public Health that you or your child needs to self-isolate. This may be the case while you are waiting to get your results or are waiting out a 14-day isolation period due to a high risk exposure as the case may be for those under 12 years of age and those who are unable to be vaccinated. 

As we go forward, we will continue to follow the guidance from Public Health and Hockey Nova Scotia and adjust our policies as appropriate. 

The complete list of self-isolation requirements are here.

Nova Scotia Self-Isolation Requirements

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact the VP Risk Management for Chebucto.

Thanks, Stay Safe, Go Chebucto

Developmental Groups

 

 Good evening Chebucto families,

Thank you for your interest in our preseason development blocks. Again this year we have a large number of participants across all age levels. Thanks also for your patience as we worked to accommodate all our ice needs. We were able to secure all our ice times at the Halifax Forum.

For some players in U15 and U18, you will notice that there is a U15 / U18 combined group. This was necessary due to the overall numbers in those particular divisions. The focus of these blocks is all individual skill so this will not impact any players development.

Please click on the following link to access all groups and times.

Once you have had an opportunity to review your players group and schedule, and If you are able to assist with player check in, dressing room monitoring, etc. please reach out by email. In the email please indicate the Age , Group ( A,B,C etc.) and which specific dates you are available.

Chebucto Development

 

Here we are, our last weekend without hockey! 

 I am excited to get back and see all the players on the ice again. The response to our preseason development has been fantastic, and it will provide a strong foundation for our players to start the season. To clarify any misconceptions that may be out there, no player is being evaluated, scored or judged on any on ice performance prior to October 1st. All evaluations for team placements will take place during the official tryout process.

As we prepare for our first week on ice, I want to remind everyone that at this time, the only people allowed in the rink are those on ice, the dressing room attendants, and the safety- check in person.These volunteers can remain in the arena but must follow the safety protocols outlined in the Rebound Plan . Thanks to those who have reached out to full-fill some of these rolls, but we are still in need of more volunteers. If you are able to volunteer, please use the link at the bottom of this email to access the interactive spreadsheet and add your name where you are able to. 

Players can begin arriving 20 minutes prior to their scheduled time, and it is recommended that they come dressed, or partially dressed, including skates tied, if they are unable to do these by themselves. Masks must be worn inside the arena at all times, unless players are on the ice. Respect social distancing when possible.

Thanks
