Rumor is - that was not the Rinks decision.
There was a call from the state health department or something in this "vicinity" that enforced that.
They are just big organization - hence they abide by all those rules (however stupid they are).

Read an article recently how MA player joined
NY team in CT tournament - and 12 players on NY team got the virus. MA is saying - we are right for not allowing tournaments and player "cheated " with out-of-state stuff.
Meanwhile, OC is off the watching list and if it goes like it goes looks like tryouts could happen after all - in masks, new helmets, on-line... but somehow.

join the club? Practices? Will the dues be discounted?
