MWF players, families and fans!

 Our first ever gear swap starts bright and early tomorrow morning. In anticipation of wet weather, we will hold the swap on the second floor/mezzanine. Gear drop off will commence at 8 a.m. and will be organized by age group stations (e.g., U7, U9 etc.) with the flow of foot traffic intended to move one-way. Each station will be equipped with hand sanitizers and we encourage everyone to use it.

Swap runs from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will be supported with players and parents who are looking forward to helping with sizing-related or other questions. Players will be wearing MWF jerseys so that they’re easily recognizable!

 Before leaving the swap, be sure to enter one of our prize draws. We are thrilled to have some MWF swag as well astwo tickets for the Halifax Mooseheads home opener on October 2^nd!

 See you tomorrow!

COVID-19 UPDATE 

We want to provide an update regarding the province’s proof of full vaccination announcement last week. Over the weekend, we received the following communication from Sport Nova Scotia:

FROM SPORT NOVA SCOTIA: We wanted to provide a quick update about last week’s announcement concerning COVID-19 immunization for sport activities. We have received word from the province indicating that there will be further review about participant vaccine requirements in sport. We expect to hear back early next week with a final decision about the logistical details (including potential age requirements) that go along with the vaccine policies. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Hockey Nova Scotia will continue to work with the province and Sport Nova Scotia to determine what these vaccine requirements will look like for our membership this season.

We will communicate this information to you as soon as we have it.

Thank you, MWF Executives 

MWF players, families, fans and friends,

The one week countdown for our MWF hockey gear swap is now ON! Weather permitting, the gear swap will take place in the parking lot of the BMO Arena. Should rain be in the forecast, we will set up on the second level mezzanine. Read on for additional details about how you may participate:

Equipment drop off and swap set-up time will occur between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.

Gear swap will run from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.

Separate stations will be set up for each type of equipment and will be generally organized by type and size.

Around each of the stations, junior leaders, coaches and/or parents will be available to assist with questions or requests for input

At the end of the swap, gear that is left behind will be stored onsite for donation or future use

We are opting for a simplified approach for this event. The primary focus is to equip players with “new-to-you” gear. If your preference is to sell your gear (e.g., on FB Marketplace, Kijiji or elsewhere), we completely understand!

Please ensure gear is clean (as much as possible) and is in good/very good/excellent condition. We all want our players and goalies well and safely protected on the ice!

We are looking forward to hosting this event. Should you wish to volunteer your time or if have any questions, please reach out to hfxhockeyfun@gmail.com

See you next week!

2021-2022 SEASON COVID UPDATE:

September 8th, 2021 the province announced that Nova Scotia will move into Phase 5 of its reopening plan at 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 15. At this time, the only restrictions that will remain in place for the general population are those related to management of COVID-19 cases. Border measures will remain in place, and the province will also start requiring proof of full vaccination for non-essential, discretionary, recreation and leisure services and activities on Oct. 4.

It was also announced that as of Oct. 4, proof of full vaccination will be required for Nova Scotians who are 12 or older to participate in discretionary, recreational or non-essential activities such as dining out, going to a fitness facility, or going to a movie, theatre performance, concert or sporting event. Vaccine requirements include participants and attendees at sporting activities including practices, training, tournaments etc. 

The proof of vaccination requirement does not apply to children 11 years of age and under because they are not eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Children age 11 and under who attend these activities with a fully vaccinated adult will be allowed to participate. 

We understand that you will likely have some questions, and we will communicate with you in as much detail as possible as more information becomes available to us.
