I'd be curious to know what's going on in socal. In norcal...
- Masks at all times while not on the ice
- Limited groups. Camps have up to 12 kids per group and they are never mixed.
- Each coach gets one group only
- Two groups on the ice, but separated by a 15 foot 'no mans land' made with the soft barriers
- 6 kids per assigned locker room.
- temp checks, questions on entry. Wrist bands proving they have been checked.
- dryland is in the parking lot. Each kid gets a parking space.
- More cleaning, etc, of course.
- No scrimmages/games.
The above is the Jr Sharks facilities. Other rinks are doing very similar things. A lot of this is so that if one kid does inevitably get infected, they can contact trace and not shut down the whole thing.
There's already a disturbing uptick of positive cases going on right now. Trust me, I see it daily at the hospital... Honestly, with all the pro teams from MLB, NBA and NHL reporting positive cases daily, I'm not so sure if pro sports will be able to resume... I'm waiting to see how NHL and USA Hockey respond but I really don't know how this season will pan out.
Again, I know many of you don't think this is a big deal and kids will somehow not be affected. But please take this seriously if you want to have a season at all and do your part to contain this virus and please ask your kids to wear masks and social distance and don't jump on top of each other in a pile up during practice... Take this seriously. It's not a joke.
