We would like to list a few of the very key points for you and your player to follow:
- There will be no spectators allowed in the facility at any time during the evaluation process. If you are found within the facility, you and your player will be asked to leave the premisses immediately.
- All players must check in at the Player Entrance of WinSport Arena D. We will have a registration table outside of the arena. Players must bring a completed covid-19-daily-checklist. Arrive no more than 30 minutes prior to your ice time.
- Players must arrived dressed in all their gear.
