March 21st Restriction Updates

Please see below email that our Safety coordinator sent to all Team Coaches, Managers and Safety reps to let all teams know that the Dartmouth Whalers Executive is strongly recommending to continue to wear mask by players, coaches and spectators for the balance of the season

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning,

Since my last email there were a few changes to the Province's 'end of restrictions' plan, most notably Schools will continue to maintain masking mandates. While Hockey NS, the Whalers, and the arenas are not mandating masking, we are strongly recommending staying the course, and masks be worn by players, coaches and spectators for the balance of the season. Essentially, we have 2 weeks left in the season. It would be a shame for players and coaches to miss out on playoffs or SEDMHA because of Covid, especially with all the effort that was given up to this point in the season.

Again, this isn't a mandate but a strong recommendation. We suggest you communicate this to your teams and their parents/guardians today so that we are all running with the same information.

Thanks again everyone, we really do appreciate your patience and understanding.

Go Whalers Go!!!!

Melissa

SEDMHA Volunteer Sign up

SEDMHA has been a longstanding successful tournament at all levels of hockey and it couldn't have been without the help of our volunteers. As we prepare for SEDMHA U9 Jamboree as well as the main SEDMHA to take place this year for the first time since 2019, there is lots of work needed to be done to help make this year another successful year.

For the SEMDHA U9 Jamboree, we require volunteers to work 2 hour shifts during the event on our main information desk. The tournament runs Thursday March 24 to Sunday March 27th.

For the main SEDMHA tournament at this time we require volunteers to help organize and box up all prizes for the championship games. This takes place prior to the event, and is expected to be on or around March 26th for a few hours.

By signing up on the attached form, you are being added to our database of volunteers we will be reaching out to requesting help from as we get closer to the event and have confirmed what is exactly needed. We would greatly appreciate you signing up if you can spare us a few hours to help make this successful.

Thank you

Hockey NS Proof of Vaccination Update

Good afternoon everyone,

As of today, Phase 1 of the province’s reopening plan has been adjusted to end the requirement to show proof of full vaccination before participating in non-essential, discretionary events and activities such as sport.

As we have worked with our partners at the province throughout the pandemic to align with the guidelines of Public Health, we will also be lifting the Hockey Nova Scotia COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. Effective today, Hockey Nova Scotia members are no longer required to provide proof of full vaccination to take part in Hockey Nova Scotia-sanctioned activities.

Associations and leagues are reminded that Hockey Canada and Hockey Nova Scotia regulations require competitive-level teams that will play toward a provincial, regional, or national championship to be registered with their teams by Feb. 10.

Teams or programs that do not play towards a provincial, regional, or national championship (e.g.: C-level teams, U7, First Shift, etc.) and are able to accommodate players on their rosters at this point in the season can do so at the association or program's discretion.

As we continue to move through the provincial reopening plan, we encourage our members to wash their hands frequently, practice physical distancing, and wear masks at all times while not on the ice.

Yours in Hockey,

Amy Walsh

Executive Director

Hockey Nova Scotia
