Important Reminder: COVID-19 Protocols
2020-11-22Hi OCMHA parents and guardians,
First, a big thank you to everyone for doing their part to help our program run safely, and for your flexibility during a time when rules and ice times are sometimes changing by the day. To date we’ve had excellent compliance with our COVID protocols, and we are very grateful for your efforts in that regard.
As we now have a few weeks of hockey under our belts, and everyone should be a bit more familiar with the lay of the land, we felt that it was a good time to quickly reiterate some of the most important elements of our COVID protocols:
When applying these guidelines, we ask you to take the approach that it’s better to be safe than sorry. For the full safety protocols, please visit http://ocmha.ca/files/ocmha_safety_nov_v5.pdf.
If you have any questions about any of the protocols, or need to report an illness or contact with an ill person, send an email to riskandsafety@ocmha.ca.
Looking forward to seeing you back at the rink!
Dave and Matt
First, a big thank you to everyone for doing their part to help our program run safely, and for your flexibility during a time when rules and ice times are sometimes changing by the day. To date we’ve had excellent compliance with our COVID protocols, and we are very grateful for your efforts in that regard.
As we now have a few weeks of hockey under our belts, and everyone should be a bit more familiar with the lay of the land, we felt that it was a good time to quickly reiterate some of the most important elements of our COVID protocols:
- As strongly recommended by Ottawa Public Health, we ask that our players not take part in multiple sports or play on multiple teams.
- Please make sure that you are screening your player before every ice time using the screening form found at https://forms.gle/yPVyZsVdzWxZ2doo7.
- Avoid carpooling to the arena. If carpooling is absolutely necessary, all vehicle occupants must wear masks.
- All spectators and volunteers must wear masks while inside the arena – no exceptions, anywhere, ever.
- Please avoid congregating in the arena.
- Minimize the number of volunteers on benches. Trainers should not be on the bench with players.
- Time spent in dressing rooms should be kept to a minimum. Players wear masks until they put their helmets on, and head out to the arena as soon as they are ready.
- After the ice time, players put their masks back on as soon as they take their helmets off, untie their skates off as quickly as possible, and leave the dressing room and arena.
- And of course, please stay home if you are feeling sick or displaying symptoms.
When applying these guidelines, we ask you to take the approach that it’s better to be safe than sorry. For the full safety protocols, please visit http://ocmha.ca/files/ocmha_safety_nov_v5.pdf.
If you have any questions about any of the protocols, or need to report an illness or contact with an ill person, send an email to riskandsafety@ocmha.ca.
Looking forward to seeing you back at the rink!
