At the last VIAHA executive Committee Meeting held on October 24, 2020, motions regarding NO SPECTATORS AT GAMES and THE CANCELLATION OF VIAHA PLAYOFFS were discussed, voted on and passed. Read the attachment for their decisions.

There have been some questions on proper protocols if a player has experienced some COVID symptoms and, as a result, has missed a practice or game. Originally a doctor’s note was required. This has now been revised and attached is a chart of the accepted procedure.
The participant should isolate at home and complete the COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool. The isolation should continue for a minimum of 24 hours and if the symptoms have resolved, they can return to hockey activity.
A copy of this is also available on the home page of the BC Hockey website.

Hockey Canada has developed an online course to inform players, parents, safety people, officials and coaches on how to navigate the challenges presented by COVID-19.
This course is mandatory for: coaches, safety people and officials prior to registering for the 2020-21 season. It is also available and suggested for parents to education themselves.
Attached is the complete memo from BC Hockey and link for the course “Planning a Safe Return to Hockey”.
