Each facility will have their own set of rules - you MUST follow the rules to the individual arena.  That means that different City arenas could have different rules in place.
  Each team/age group has been provided a link for a self-screening tool.  This needs to be used 100% of the time before entering all facilities.  It is important to use the one for your team.  If you use a different team's form, the information will not be available to the Safety officer on the team.  This information is also used for contact tracing and is stored for 31 days.  It will be updated as changes are made by the Ministry of Health or Ottawa Public Health.

Teams should not congregate at the glass while waiting for the zamboni to finish.  Coaches will not congregate in the halls talking, especially without a mask. Teams will not use penalty boxes.
