• Pre-screening must be completed by each individual before entering a facility.
• Contact tracing must occur at each gathering. If no contact tracer is present, you may not enter the facility.
• Players are to show up to the rink with as much equipment on as possible. Users are encouraged to limit time spent in dressing rooms by arriving already dressed.
• For U7, parents may enter to tie skates.
• U9, U11, and U13 divisions should arrive fully dressed where possible. Please refer to the Hockey PEI Statement on Transportation Safety.
