Please review the below links regarding H1N1 information.  Some extracted notable information is as follows:

1. Parents are urged to keep their children away from the hockey environment if they are showing any signs of infectious disease or virus. Sick players are encouraged to see their physician if showing signs or symptoms of the H1N1 virus, and to be fully recovered prior to returning to play
2. Players should be encouraged to wash hands routinely and always after handling hockey equipment
3. Talk to your players about using their arm when covering their mouths and nose when coughing or sneezing as opposed to their hands.
4. Towels should be removed from all benches
5. Fair Play handshaking prior to the start of each game be eliminated until further notice
6. Both the game officials and the team officials should acknowledge each other without the customary formal handshake until further notice.

• I will not force my child to participate in hockey
