Minor Hockey Tournaments for 2020-2021 Season
Submitted By KMHA on Wednesday, May 6, 2020
KMHA would like to draw all coaches and participants
attention to the following notice from the OHF.
As of yesterday the
OHF has put on hold all planning of tournaments for the 2020/21 season.
This means that all tournaments run by KMHA are on hold pending
further information about the start of the Hockey Season.
This decision has been made with the safety of the entire Hockey community and each players individual communities in mind.
We hope that the current actions taken to support social distancing and battle the virus will enable a return to Hockey as a whole including tournaments but we await further information from public health as well as our governing bodies.
The following Key points identified in the attached bulletin include:
For tournament operators and attendees, this information means;
• That all tournaments who have been provided sanctioning from Members to operate in the 2020-2021 season, has been put on hold until further notice;
• That tournaments can no longer accept registration or payment for a tournament that was sanctioned for the 2020-2021 season;
• No OHF Member Teams may register for tournaments in the interim inside or outside the OHF jurisdiction; and
• That any tournament who has already collected accepted registration or collected payment will need to notify teams and return payment.
KMHA would like to assure our players that adore tournaments that these decisions are not made lightly and that should it become safe enough that we are permitted to return to tournament play KMHA will endeavour to do so. Stay Healthy, Stay Active, Stay Safe.
