Subject: PRESENTATION FROM WEDNESDAY'S PROVINCIAL MEMBER CALL

Good afternoon everyone,

First off, thank you to all of you who were able to join us for our provincial member call on Wednesday. We appreciate you taking the time to take part in that important member update. Please find the presentation from that call attached to this email.

HNS Provincial Member Call Sept 20

We have been in discussions with the province and Sport Nova Scotia over the last couple of days. We anticipate more information on the province’s proof of vaccine policy will be made available next week.

We will pass along any updates to you all as soon as we receive them.

Thank you for everything you have been doing to prepare your associations, leagues and teams for the 2021-22 hockey season.

Yours in Hockey,

Arnie Farrell

Reminder: Deadline for Online Registration closes tomorrow night, Sept 26th at 11:59pm.

Please check the lists below and make sure you see your player(s) names where it should be in advance of the initial evaluation and tryout groups.

If you've cancelled your registration and have already been communicating with Registration@FlyersHockey.ca about this - and your player is still on the list below - don't worry about this. It is a bit complicated to remove the cancellations from the data (but we are working on this). It is also much easier to remove a player from an evaluation or tryout group than it is to add them in. Any questions send to Registration@FlyersHockey.ca

The list below is provided to help families check that their player is registered - and for the U11+ players, to make sure that the Competitive Tryout checkmarks are where they should be.

We do expect there are some errors on the list, since some families checked "yes" for comp tryouts on the questionnaire but didn't add the fee on, and others said "no" to comp tryouts but did have the fee added. Please email Registration@FlyersHockey.ca with updates ASAP.

Thank you to all SMHA families for your patience while we've worked through all the challenges of this new registration system.

Please read carefully the latest information that Hockey Nova Scotia has provided and click on the link to review the HNS COVID-19 Vaccination Policy: 

Subject: HOCKEY NOVA SCOTIA PROOF OF VACCINE POLICY

Good afternoon everyone,

The health and safety of our membership is the top priority of Hockey Nova Scotia.

Earlier this month, the province announced that as of Oct. 4, people who are 12 and older will need to provide proof of full vaccination to both participate in and watch indoor and outdoor sports practices, games, competitions, and tournaments.

To comply with the province’s proof of vaccine policy and to assist our members in planning for the upcoming season, we are introducing our own proof of vaccine policy that is in strict accordance with the province’s proof of vaccine policy. You will find that policy attached to this email.

HNS COVID-19 Vaccination Policy - Sept 21, 2021

Thanks for all that you do.
