• You must be at your designated entry door 15 minutes prior to your ice time, if you are late unfortunately you will not be given access to the facility

• There is no walking through the arena to other ice pads (special circumstances approved in advance may be allowed)
• Don't forget your mask! 

• Players or spectators  are not permitted to approach the referees following the game (off the ice). The City of Pickering/OMHA may ban that parent from attending any further games for the remainder of the season.  Due to Covid the City is going to be strict on all the rules.

MHA and the City of Pickering, however, changes may occur prior to our official start. We remain committed to sharing information with you as it becomes available. Please ensure you visit the website and follow us on social media for updates.

It will take a strong collective effort from our volunteers, coaches, players, and parents to ensure a safe and positive return to hockey. We are confident our hockey community will meet this challenge and we look forward to seeing you at the rink soon.
