Oro Thunder Families,
It certainly has been a busy couple of weeks but after 7 long months away from the rink it is great to be back! Now that the evaluation process is done, all players should have been contacted by their coach for Season 1. There will be practices this week leading up to the first games of the season on Saturday.
While the game we love has been modified in an effort to keep players, coaches and referees as safe as possible, we think the players will enjoy the fast pace and flow of 4 on 4 hockey. It should make for a fun season!
As the season progresses I would like to remind all parents and guardians of the following:
· The Township of Oro-Medonte is operating under Phase 1 of their facility re-opening plan
· Provincial Government guidelines are the minimum to be followed, the Township has the authority to adjust protocols and procedures as they see fit.
· Oro-Medonte has set the maximum number of people allowed in the building at 30.
· Under phase 1 spectators are not allowed in the building
· Only those approved by coaches are allowed in the building: trainers, spotters, scorekeepers or Dressing Room Attendants
· Players are encouraged to arrive half-dressed
· Arrive on time! Moving forward it may not be possible to enter the building if you are late for your scheduled ice time.
· Masks must be warn when entering and exiting the building.
· Social distancing rules need to be followed inside and outside the building.
· Entering the building without approval of arena staff will not be tolerated
It will take the collective efforts of everyone to keep the season going!
Good luck, stay safe and have fun!
