Good evening  U9 Families, 

Thank you for your patience while waiting for your ice times this weekend. Please see the attached groupings. Please take note of the times and rinks; times may vary from past ice times and this weekend will be our first time in rink D this season.  

There will no longer be pre-screening covid links being sent out. Parents are asked to self-assess at home before coming to the rink.  Spectators will be asked for proof of vaccination and ID when entering the rink.  There will be 1 spectator per player this weekend.

Please remember that NO parents are allowed in the dressing rooms. Last weekend, we had many parents entering/ attempting to enter the dressing room to help their player get dressed. . All dressing rooms have volunteers in there to assist. These volunteers have had their criminal record checks completed. We cannot let anyone in the dressing room that does not have their CRCs .If you would like to volunteer you can find information about completing these checks on the Dartmouth Whalers website.   

Thank you for understanding and respecting these guidelines. 

Erin 

U9 Coordinator
