Below is further instructions which must be followed and information for the NEZ U18 evaluation and team formation phase of the 2020-2021 season

• Players will not be allowed on the ice until registration fees have been paid

• For all preseason skates the NEZ-COVID CHECKLIST MUST be completed and brought with the player to each and every skate. If a player answers yes to any of the questions on the form they must not be brought to the arena and will not be allowed to participate.
• All players must be checked in and have the form completed before entering the dressing room
• Players must be brought to arena already dressed in their hockey equipment
• Equipment bags must not be brought into arena
• Goalies are the exception and will be allowed their bags but should come dressed with as much as they can prior to putting on skates and remaining equipment as required at the arena
• Players should not be brought to the arena until 20 minutes before they are to go on the ice and must exit the dressing room immediately after removing skates/helmets (within 10 minutes). Goalies may undress but must also exit within 10 minutes
• Dressing rooms may not be available (dependent on arena) so skates may need to be put on in lobby.
• Parents may assist players with putting on skates if necessary
• Players must have their water bottles clearly labelled with their name and must be filled before coming to the arena. Nobody else will be allowed to handle a player’s water bottle so ensure they are capable of drinking on their own from the water bottle you provide

  • Players have been placed in cohort groups for the purposes of the evaluation skates (listed below)
  • Once initial player evaluations are complete the cohort groups will be split into teams of 9-11 players and continue playing/practicing within their respective cohort group
  • The teams within each cohort group will play games against each other and practice with each other until the end of October
  • Dependent on the hopeful lifting of restrictions by AHS, HC, HA and HE at the end of October “regular” teams of players may be formed and begin to play against other “regular” teams within a structure like that of previous seasons
  • More information will be communicated as it is determined what we will be capable of doing as the season progresses
