Washing the socks and jerseys in high temperature will not only shrink them the logo numbers and names will fall off if they are only heat pressed on.

its not 1983, socks wont shrink, and no one uses those "shiny" heat pressed numbers and logos. YOu can wash all gear in machine and air dry if its too large or dry it normally.

Rinks should not be the police. There is not any universal guideline that will work. Each rink has their own uniqueness that need to be addressed. A rink with 4 sheets will have more foot traffic then a single sheet and each has their own  sanitizing  needs. Guidelines will change as the year progresses. As far as locker rooms go good luck being a hall monitor. It should be up to the parents if players dress at home. Younger kids can, but midgets? Goalies??

If the rinks open and they don't mandate that each player wears some type of breathable cloth to cover their nose/mouth on the ice. Well just wait for the vaccine/treatment to be found. If you can not find a suitable mouth/nose cover each rink should offer you them at a reasonable value price at the entrance of the rink. We all have to be in this together to figure this out for the kids safety.

Elite figure skaters in Colorado are back at on-ice practice. All skaters and coaches wearing face masks while doing hard workouts on the ice. Skaters are dressing at their car "tailgaiting" and waiting in line outside to get in, monitor checking each skater into the rink to keep track of contacts.

Time to invest in some good rain gear, ponchos.

"How do they expect goalies to do this?"

Rinks could probably make allowances for goalies only to use one locker room and just spend money and resources to clean that one room instead of using every single locker room for one team.

The deal is this: work with your rinks and follow the rules and stop coming up with ifs, ands or buts for why your team or your kid is special and can't follow the rules -- or doesn't have the discipline and responsibility to follow the rules -- and stop making excuses for why the rules are too hard to follow, or watch every rink slowly be sold to Amazon for warehouse space. It is what it is.
 
If kids can't wash their own uniforms, if they don't know how to stay 6 feet away, if they need a locker room to play hockey, maybe this isn't the sport for them anymore. This is not going to get solved by summer or by fall or even by next spring.

If rinks open and don't follow the rules, here is what will happen: people will start posting photos of your kids and parents not following rules, photos will go viral  and news media will jump on it with headlines, and you'll have rink owners and hockey teams fielding calls and complaints forever.

And god forbid there's a Patient Zero at some rink that causes an entire regions to shut down again -- or a death -- and that's the end of youth hockey this year, next year and possibly for good. The end.

Read the rules. Come up with solutions. Do more than you have to. Some teams will and they will be the ones still playing next season. This season is gone.

You post the same doom and gloom, sky is falling, were all gonna die nonsense every single day. Do you have any sense of positivity instead of theis is never going to end it's virus world forever? You might have surpassed the idiocy level of the concussion lady. A suggestion for you, go to the CDC website and keep an eye on the daily stats because their no worse than the flu.
