We received the following email from the NOHA this morning. Please read as this will continue to affect teams and coaches going into any ice times until the OHF has updated it’s guidance.
Good morning,
As you are aware, the Provincial Government no longer requires masks in many settings, which took effect today.
The OHF Return to Hockey Framework presently is in Stage 3, which DOES state that masks are required in dressing rooms and on the benches for bench staff.
While there will be further direction coming from the OHF as early as March 22, please ensure that your Teams are aware that they will need to follow the current directive under the OHF Return to Hockey Framework, which does require masks to be worn as directed above.
Jason Marchand
NOHA Executive Director
