Policies - Illness Prevention
The AYHA, Mid Am Hockey District, and USA Hockey are excited for the upcoming season. Sports participation promotes a healthy lifestyle through physical activity, social, emotional, and mental well-being. We want all our players, coaches, parents, and staff to enjoy the game we all love by staying healthy. For more information, visit USA Hockey's Player Safety and Health page.
USA Hockey Recommendations
- USA Hockey's medical advisors support vaccination against viruses as recommend by each family's personal physician.
- Stay home if you are sick or have been exposed to an infected individual.
- Wash hands frequently for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Clean and disinfect equipment after each use.
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the bend of your elbow. Dispose of the tissue and wash/sanitize your hands immediately.
- Do not share water bottles, towels, or other equipment. Mark them clearly so you know which one is yours.
