Update on Travel to New Brunswick

Good afternoon everyone,

Following our consultations with Nova Scotia Public Health and Nova Scotia Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang, we have been advised that fully-vaccinated teams can now travel to New Brunswick for sporting events provided that the event (game, tournament, etc.) they are attending has a requirement for both spectators and participants to show proof of vaccination (POV).

Teams with unvaccinated players under 12 are not permitted to travel to tournaments in New Brunswick where a circuit breaker is in place. Please visit the Government of New Brunswick website to find up-to-date information about what areas of the province are currently under circuit breaker restrictions. 

While travelling to New Brunswick for competition, all local COVID-19 protocols and Public Health orders must be followed. Our Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tina Atkinson would also like to strongly encourage all of our teams and hockey families to follow these guidelines to further decrease the risk of a COVID-19 exposure:

  • Wear masks at all times while indoors (only removing them for eating, drinking and playing hockey).
  • Always wear masks while in crowded outdoor spaces where physical distancing cannot be maintained.
  • Avoid crowded restaurants (and only visit restaurants where servers are masked).
  • Wash and sanitize hands frequently.
  • Avoid close contact with people you don’t know.
  • Consider shopping for essential items only.

We would also like to remind you all to follow the Rebound Plan 2.0 and keep a close eye on exposure notices from the province.

Sincerely,

Amy Walsh
Executive Director
Hockey Nova Scotia

Arnie Farrell
President

2021 U15 C Team Lists

Thanks to everyone for your patience while we organized our C teams.  It took some time to work out a plan that didn't have oversized rosters.  We believe this is important for improving the hockey experience for all of the players this season.

Games showing for today and tomorrow have been cancelled.

The ice coordinator will be in contact with coaches regarding ice available on Sunday October 31st and regular practice ice starting Monday.

Do not fear if you do not see your player's name below.  Please contact Andrew (president@metrowestforce.com) and we will find a solution.

The C teams will be posted on the web site at metrowestforce.com tonight. To give as much advance notice as possible, I am sending you the practice times for the teams this week. Each age group will have two shared practices -- so no matter which team you are put on, you have two practices this week as follows.

First Shift Program - Saint Mary's Dauphinee Arena

Here are the times for the First Shift Program.  If any parents would  like to get involved and help on the ice, please let me know. On ice experience is an asset but not a requirement.

All adult on-ice participants require a Criminal Record Check/ Vulnerable Sector Check. You can obtain this by going through this link.
 
 
Some additional tips:
  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before the first session. 
  • Cutting your stick - cut just below their nose when not on skates. The stick length when on skates should be around their chin. This slightly varies with each child. If you are still too cautious with cutting their sticks, we will have a saw on hand before your first session and will cut it for you.
  • Have them try on their gear a few times so they get used to it. 
  • Decorate your jersey. BLING it up!!
  • Bring a water bottle with their name on it
  • All parents must show POV
  • Have stick tape (any color) and shin pad tape (plastic). You can get this at any sports store
  • Parents, friends, etc ar welcome to watch
  • HELMET STICKER - we will have stickers for your child so the coaches can get to know your daughters 
Hopefully your child will enjoy this program. It is a fantastic way  to introduce them to this great sport. There may be some frustration for the first couple of skates and that is only natural. They will meet new friends and all the coaches will be very patient with all of your girls. We will also have junior leaders ( 12-16 year old girls) who will be on the ice with them.
 
If your daughter wants to continue on with hockey after the First Shift is completed, there will be a place for each and every one of them within the Metro West Female Hockey Association. your daughter would be placed in an appropriate age and skill development program. Since this will not start until December, it will be a prorated cost of  $400.00 for the rest of the year. The program will run from December to the end of March. The girls would be on the ice 1-2 times per week in this new program.
