Updated Arena Protocols For OAAA Hockey
With OAAA hockey in full swing and games coming soon....we want to remind everyone to be fully aware of the current arena protocols for OAAA hockey due to the continuing Covid situation.
We are happy to announce that our capacity is back to 100%!
- Upon arrival, EVERYONE entering the arena must scan the QR code at the entrance to the arena and fill out the online form. This is for contact tracing purposes. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DO THIS. This can be done prior to attending too - the form is on oaaa.ca under the Orono Arena tab. This is a requirement by the Health Department
- Please do not enter the arena until 30 minutes before your scheduled ice time
- Spectators aged 12 and older must show proof of vaccination and corresponding identification.
- Masks must be worn inside the facility at all times by all persons entering.
- Dressing rooms, public washrooms and the Canteen are open for your use.
- Players are to go to their dressing room and remain inside the dressing room until they are told to go on the ice.
- Parents are strongly discouraged from going to the dressing room area to prevent crowding. If there is an issue such as tying skates, please make arrangements with a coach or on-ice helper to tie the skates or come with them already on as we did last season
- Spectators are encouraged to watch the game/practice from the cold viewing area. Spectators may watch from the warm lobby area but social distancing is still required.
- Once the teams from the practice before come off the ice, the players will be allowed to go and sit on the bench until the Olympia is finished cleaning the ice. This is when players and coaches can remove their masks. There is no loitering in the dressing room hallway again to prevent crowding.
- Players are expected to vacate the dressing rooms within 15 minutes of coming off the ice.
By continuing to follow the Covid protocols we can be assured there will be no interruptions to OAAA hockey this season.
