Additional Recommendations for Hockey: Stay home if you have symptoms. If you get tested, and your symptoms have resolved, you must isolate until you received your results Limit carpooling and socializing to those within your household Wear a mask or face covering in a manner that covers your mouth and nose when in an indoor area (e.g., entering/exiting facility, while coaching, as a spectator, etc.). For more information and exemptions (e.g., playing hockey), please see: FAQ for Wearing Masks and Face Coverings Co-ordinate hockey teams to create a league that contains no more than 50 players. The league may only play and practice with members of the same league. A hockey association cannot expand leagues/bubbles/cohorts or join another league for additional play or practice if the resultant group has more than 50 players Do not coach or play in more than one league Maintain a two-metre physical distance (e.g., in the change rooms, spectator stands, players benches) Limit time spend in change rooms. Use change rooms for changing only. Do not use change rooms for socializing, sharing food or beverages, etc. Avoid physical contact during play Clean and disinfect your equipment regularly. Do not share sports gear with other people Practice frequent hand hygiene by using an alcohol-based hand rub or washing your hands with soap and water If possible, play outside rather than indoors. Consult your municipality for outdoor rink protocols Refer to Measures for Sports and Recreation Facilities for more information on facility requirements for the yellow (protect) level
