Winnipeg East Female Hockey

In light of the recent news from the Provincial Health Authorities and Winnipeg moving to code Red restrictions Monday, WEFH believes it is in the best interest of our players, coaches, parents, friends, neighbours that we proactively take measures and suspend our program effective immediately.

While we all hoped that this day wouldn't come, we expect everyone to act with all of Manitoba's best interests in mind.

We look forward to the announcement that we are resuming the season's activities once things are under control with the pandemic.

Sincerely,

Teri Moffatt and Jacquie Sippola

From Hockey Winnipeg:

Good Afternoon,

I have been inundated with questions about the new directive from Dr. Roussin and Manitoba Health that is set to take effect on Monday.  I have spoken to Peter Woods at Hockey Manitoba who is following up with the Province to get a definitive answer regarding sanctioned hockey programs. I should have that information at some point today and I will share it with you all as soon as I can.

For the time being, sanctioned hockey activities are good to continue.  It is important that we are adhering to the guidelines this weekend.  Masks must be worn at all times.  Pre-screening is essential. Players must adhere to the guidelines of arrival and departure times. Sanitization and distancing practices are vital.  Players need to be arriving with as much equipment on as possible to limit time in the dressing rooms. 1 parent per participant should be the standard.

As soon as I have additional information from Hockey Manitoba regarding the impact of this directive I will pass it on to all of you.

Regards,

Ian McArton

Executive Director, Hockey Winnipeg

I will be mailing out groups Monday and Tuesday. Please email me Wednesday if you have checked your junk mail and don't have an email.

Groups are divided alphabetically but please note due to COVID restrictions we now have 6 smaller groups instead of 4 in past.

Saints tryouts

This is very important- ALL players and 1 spectator allowed only per player, need to do online COVID screen on Notre Dame website PRIOR to 1 pm EACH DAY in order to facilitate players entering building as quickly as possible. We will get the staff at Notre Dame to kindly look up players before so they can enter more quickly.

Everyone entering the building is required to wear a mask, sanitze hands and follow any arrows or signs. There are marked places in dressing rooms and in stands. Please follow physical distancing.

Players will wear masks in dressing rooms until they put on helmets.

Notre Dame policies

There is no tolerance rule for any abuse of staff or volunteers. The rules have been put in place to keep us as safe and healthy as possible and to allow sports to happen during a global pandemic. We all need to be patient and kind as everyone returns to the rink!

Final Saints team will be posted ASAP after final skate on Wednesday.
