Over the last several days, governments at all levels are taking action to limit the spread of COVID-19. Many organizations have canceled activities and events in order to protect their participants and spectators from exposure to COVID-19.
Hockey Canada, on March 13th made the decision to cancel all sanctioned hockey activities for the balance of the year. This includes all games, practices, banquets and all team and Association events. At this time, tryouts are canceled, and Hockey Canada will make a final decision as to when they will be scheduled.
It saddens me that we will not be able to hold our year end banquet – it was a time to enjoy each other’s company and have a final team event before we broke for summer. But, better to be safe and take precautions against the spread of this highly contagious virus.
