Multiple teams from Central Penn, Lehigh Valley, York postponing. Confirmation via phone call to a Philly burb rink where we recently played that at least one rink staff seriously ill with Covid. Getting unconfirmed reports from parents at other clubs of quarantines not listed as postponed games, possibly before games started. Seeing kids who supposed to be on quaratining teams showing up at other rinks.
Need DVHL and AAHA to step up and give information on circumstances of quarantines, whether contact with positive outside team and team quarantining out of caution, or multiple positive cases in team, club or rink.
This fall season was a fantasy. If season gets postponed, need to go back to original USA Hockey guidance, limit games to in-rink team scrimmages, no travel between rinks just keep your kid at one rink, when cases go down, open to scrimmages with neighboring rink, inter- region play only when community cases substantially lower.
Do what Ontario is doing. No face offs, masks on benches, no checking, 3x3 or 4x4 only. This is the only way to keep our rinks open. Whoever thought kids traveling from York to Delaware to NJ to Allentown to tournaments all over every weekend was going to work must have been high.
