Tryouts Postponed
« on: May 09, 2020, 06:11:59 AM »
In one of the worst worded letters I have read in a long time, CAHA announced the postponement of tryouts until they meet again on June 16. On a side note, if the man that wrote that letter is in fact the head of CAHA, God help us and please save our children.

I just hope they don’t cancel the season

This is from an article sent to me by a Canadian friend:
 "Indoor sports: While this may be uniquely Canadian, a super spreading event occurred during a curling event in Canada. A curling event with 72 attendees became another hotspot for transmission. Curling brings contestants and teammates in close contact in a cool indoor environment, with heavy breathing for an extended period. This tournament resulted in 24 of the 72 people becoming infected. (ref)"


Ice hockey involves more hard breathing, small locker rooms, and relatively small benches during games and many occasions for practice, stick times, and games.   If one curling tournament could create a 1 in 3 contagion rate, what might it be for hockey players with spread to families and school mates?

Moderator: Thank you for finding the article and posting all of it.   It is vital information that needs to be processed as we make decisions for our children and families and hopefully it will be read by those who will make decisions for CAHA and SCAHA. 

From a personal perspective, it may be the most important decision I will ever make as a parent.

The only thing I can say for sure is that I really like social distancing. I never was much of a people person and I think society as a whole should keep this up well past the term of the virus.

So, how long can these rinks hang on with no income?  The Ducks/Kings owned rinks are probably fine, but what about the single privately owned rinks?  Should we expect more closing if no hockey continues through the summer?

That’s what I’m worried about. I know of 2 officially and more likely to come the longer this lasts

Aside from Valencia, who else has officially gone belly up?

I am not even sure that every rink is closed like they should have been...

We all know that there are some "special" kids/coaches sneaking on to the ice at rinks that are not doing maintenance.

LA county is considering extending the stay at home order until August. That might derail the season.  I’m not judging, just reporting.

It does clarify that there might be restrictions lifted, but it feels like a gut punch to those who were optimistic.
