AVON OLD FARMS RINK INFORMATION
On December 22, 2021, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) released a statement regarding Updated Sports Guidance. "Due to the rapid emergence of the new highly transmissible Omicron variant, the Connecticut Department of Public Health is halting guidance that would have allowed fully vaccinated athletes, coaches, and officials to participate in athletic competitions without masks as of Dec. 23." The news statement and the updated guidance can be viewed HERE. Therefore, all participants, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask while participating in all Avon Hockey practices and games.
Participants (other than officials) and spectators may not enter the rink or locker rooms until 30 minutes prior to ice time.
Due to revised Covid protocols, locker room access will not be available for Avon Hockey teams and visiting teams beginning Tuesday, January 4th through Sunday, January 9th, 2022. Players, excluding goalies, should arrive at the rink fully dressed except for skates, helmet, and gloves. Players may use the rinkside benches to put on skates and adjust gear. Goalies may complete dressing at the rinkside benches. Bags will not be permitted inside the rink except for goalies.
NO TEAM WARM-UPS permitted outside or inside the rink. Teams may warm-up off campus at the Town of Avon park at Fisher Meadows at 800 Old Farms Road (portable restrooms are available through late Fall).
ALL Avon Hockey players, coaches and volunteers, including score and time keepers, must complete the AOF Covid 19 Waiver (link below). Waivers must be signed and returned to your team manager prior to participation in on-ice activities.
