U21 - Final Games Mar 27
2022-03-26Hi U21 Players and Parents, last week!
Games this Sunday Mar 27 at Kilrea:
-
8pm - EastCentre @ Southwest
-
9:30pm - Southend @ Canterbury
Please see article http://bytowndistrict.ca/news.php?news_id=1966723. We will continue with COVID screening and attendance taking for the remainder of our season. Spectators are not required to show proof of vaccination.
Masking requirements remain in effect.
BMHL U21 will continue to maintain masking requirements for participants for the remainder of the 2021-2022 season.
We have reviewed our Covid-19 health and safety measures and looked to Ottawa Public Health for guidance moving forward. While OPH has not issued specific updated guidance for indoor sports, it continues to recommend masking as a health and safety measure where risks warrant. OPH also reiterated the three heightened risk factors for transmission of the virus - crowded areas, close contact and confined spaces with limited ventilation.
Hockey dressing rooms, hallways and benches involve a combination of all three heightened risk factors. Further, our community has varying degrees of comfort and levels of vulnerability to Covid-19 risks. This is why we have decided to maintain existing masking rules for participants. This means that all participants are expected to continue wearing masks in dressing room areas, and that coaches and bench staff will wear masks on the bench. Anyone entering a team dressing room will have to wear a mask when interacting with the team.
Expectations of non-participating parents and spectators outside of the dressing rooms will depend on the rules of the facility. We encourage everyone to continue to mask for the rest of the season to limit the transmission of COVID-19 in our community.
