Hello MUSKOKA ROCK Families,
Hope that everyone is well and staying safe in these unprecedented times.
As we continue to move forward in trying to prepare for a 2020/21 hockey season, the MRMHA Executive has been working in conjunction with OMHA, OHF, Public Health and our facilities to prepare a plan to have hockey return to our members as soon as possible.These new procedures that will be implemented for our return to play will be much different then what we are used to.
These changes will include but are not limited to: entering the rink, dressing room use, Covid-19 health checks, entering and exiting the ice along with maintaining social distancing with our spectators -just to highlight a few of the situations the new hockey world may be up against. In communications with the OHF and the OMHA the start-up of REP/Travel hockey for the 2020/2021 season will certainly be delayed. In the meantime, we would like to provide rewarding and fun hockey in the safest manner we are able to provide.
Online Registration is new this year and is currently available, however there is no payment associated just yet as we begin preparing for the upcoming season. Registration allows us to begin planning for ice allocation. It is important that we get an idea of what our registration numbers will look like this year under a modified season. Payment will not be required until the exact details of the season are far clearer so if you think you have a player wanting to play hockey, registering now will ensure that you have a spot in your desired division, with payment information to come as soon as we are able to share it. We will be in need of more volunteers this year to help us facilitate the new measures. Please let us know if you are interested in helping in any way. Our goal is to see the kids get back on the ice and be active. The success of our return to play will be determined on all of our collective efforts in following these new guidelines. These new guidelines will need to be adhered too and must be enforced and respected by all participants. We will be entering a new world of community sports that will take a collective effort to navigate safely and successfully. Again, we thank you for your patience. Updates will be shared as they are received. I encourage you to follow the accurate and factual information through:
