PSO Update: September 8, 2021 from Today's Press conference

Please see below message sent out by Hockey Nova Scotia sent out late this afternoon, September 8th, 2021

 

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Please find below an update from Sport Nova Scotia regarding today’s proof of full vaccination announcement.

 

We will work with the province, Sport Nova Scotia, our board of directors, and the Rebound Steering Committee (including our Chief Medical Officer) to determine what today’s update will mean for hockey. We will communicate this information to you as soon as we have it.

 

In the meantime, we would like to remind you that we remain in Phase 4 of the province’s reopening plan. To learn more about Phase 4, please click here.

 

We all need to do our part to ensure we get to Phase 5. As part of this effort, we encourage everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated to do so.

 

Thank you all for your hard work and continued support.

 

Yours in Hockey,

 

Amy Walsh

PSO Update: September 8, 2021

 

Today 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.

Volunteers needed for Conditioning Sessoins

Although it's hard to believe the summer is almost over, it's even harder to believe that conditioning sessions less than two weeks away from starting. In order to make the season as successful as possible it takes a lot of help from our members and we are reaching out to you all looking for volunteers for the following:
 
Volunteers to supervise in the dressing rooms for the Hockey Canada 2 deep policy the hour before your player goes on the ice and when players are getting changed after they get off the ice - Must have valid CAR and CRC on file with Hockey Canada
 
- Volunteers for player check in and confirming pre-screening form has been completed for both players and spectators
 
If you can volunteer for one session or for them all we would love for you to take a moment to sign up by completing the below form to let us know what you are able to help with. Our division coordinators will be in touch with you closer to the dates once groups are posted to confirm if and when you are able to help.
 
 
 
Thank you

Whalers Launch New Website Powered by GrayJay!

We are thrilled to launch our new and improved website, powered by the GrayJay Leagues platform from grayjaysolutions.com! Our new website brings a contemporary new look to our online presence, as well as new functionality, such as real-time scoring, electronic gamesheets, roster management, schedule management with conflict alerts, and much more!

The real-time scoring feature allows officials to easily update games as they happen, including goals, penalties, etc. on a mobile phone, tablet, or PC. This information is immediately available on the website for people to follow the game in the stands or at home.

Game data is automatically added to the team and player statistics on the website, and historical data has been imported to provide the user with a complete set of data in one convenient location. Electronic gamesheets are auto-generated for easy and improved record keeping.

Team and game rosters can be managed from any location with an internet connection to allow us to keep you up-to-date with the most current roster information.

We are excited for the possibilities of our new website and hope you will love it as much as we do!
