Will masks be required?

Masks are mandatory in all indoor public spaces as per the Town of Cochrane bylaw.

Masks can be removed to eat/drink and when participating in physical activity.

• All spectators, or those that wish to visit SLSFSC’s public areas that are 12+ but are not participating in a youth program, must show proof of vaccination, proof of a negative test, or medical exemption to gain entry to SLSFSC premises. Please note this will mean a youth that is exempt as a participant of a sports team could be subject to proof of vaccination as a non-participant. Example: a youth leaving a Cochrane Minor Hockey program and then going to a public swim.

• All coaches, volunteers, and organizers of any youth activity that are over 18 years of age must show proof of vaccination, proof of a negative test, or medical exemption to gain entry to SLSFSC premises.

Are dressing rooms available?

CMHA has outlined a plan moving forward in regards to dressing room protocol. 

U7 & U9:

- Arrive NO MORE than 15 minutes prior to your ice time

- Must come fully dressed, mask on until kids hit the ice. 

- No parents in the dressing room unless an athlete needs support

U11 & U13:

- Mask on until kids hit the ice. 

- No parents in the dressing room unless an athlete needs support

As always, we will continue to send out information that affects CMHA from Alberta Health as restrictions/guidance are clarified or shifted. CMHA is making these changes as advised by the Alberta Government, we are following these guidelines the best we can to keep kids on the ice. 

Please respect our partners Spray Lakes employees, CMHA employees, board and volunteers, these are Government Health orders.
