Phase 2: Dec 2 - TBD

As of Dec. 3rd, 2020, the PHO has ordered all indoor sports activities to move back to Phase 2 protocols viaSport and BC Hockey. Rinks at Richmond Ice Centre and Minoru will remain open. Dressing rooms will only be open to goalies and coaches. Players are to come partially dressed, masks on and after check-in, they are to proceed to the arena benches to put on their skates, helmets and gloves. For the younger age groups, we encourage them to come fully dressed, with their skates on.

We have developed a specific plan that all players, parents, coaches and volunteers are expected to follow:

• Rink Entry – 10 minutes before ice time. Please arrive in the parking lot between 15 and 30 mins before your ice time. Players, team officials, referees will only be allowed in the building 10 minutes before their ice time. No early entry permitted! 
• Every participant entering the facility will need to do a health screen via Teamsnap HealthCheck and show results to the volunteer at check-in. Please arrive fully dressed with a mask on. We recommend U9 and under to be fully dressed with skates on before entering the building.
• Goalies can come partially dressed and put the pads, skates, gloves and helmets in a designated dressing room. 
• Check-in lines will be set up outside of the main entrances for players. Masks are mandatory as per the City of Richmond. All participants will need to wear masks inside and outside the building. No mask, no entry. 
• After check-in, all participants need to hand sanitize. The HCSP (safety person) will take the participants into their rink. Please follow the directional flow arrows and signage while maintaining a 3m distance on and off the ice as per BC Hockey and City of Richmond protocols. 
• Small duffle bags are allowed inside the rink, and large hockey bags are not permitted.
• An HCSP will be designated inside and out of the rink to help players answer questions, direct traffic flow, and attend emergencies.
