Jul 3, 2020 | 1:14 PM

Hockey Alberta released its Return to Hockey Plan on Tuesday, providing the framework and minimum standards for its members to undertake hockey activities as they return from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.

In a release, Hockey Alberta says the plan allows players, coaches, officials, parents and other stakeholders to understand the current guidelines for operating sanctioned hockey for the 2020-21 season.

The Return to Hockey Plan and related information can be reviewed on the Hockey Alberta website.

The Return to Hockey Plan incorporates the current requirements outlined in Stage 2 of the Government of Alberta’s Relaunch Plan, health and safety guidelines from Hockey Canada, and programming, registration and sanctioning for Hockey Alberta.

“It is important for our Members and families to know that there is a plan for hockey in Alberta for the coming season. Our players will be able to have fun, socialize with teammates and peers, and enjoy positive experiences in our game,” said Rob Litwinski, CEO of Hockey Alberta. “The Plan includes options to group players according to skill levels and engage in competition as they continue to develop their skills in preparation for returning to regular season play.”
