The next GTHA Executive Board meeting is tomorrow, Monday March 8 at 7:00 pm via ZOOM.  More information to come.  Thank you!

MAHA has again updated the Return To Play Standards for the 2020-2021 Hockey Season . Please review the following PDF document with particular attention paid to the section titled "ON-ICE GUIDELINES". Plastic face shields are once again permitted for use including the Bauer Splash Guard for the Bauer Concept Full Face Shield. Cloth Face Coverings are still permitted. With respect to Face Coverings attached to the helmet or cage, those must be made by the manufacturer (CCM Game-On, Bauer TP Sport Mask, etc.).

We understand the challenges this update presents for all of us and the timeframe to make said changes. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and action to make the necessary changes to your athlete's equipment to permit all of them to participate. We truly appreciate your efforts and flexibility with these revisions.

Respectfully,

Frank H. Guerin

Executive Vice President

Good day everyone!

    As of April 1, at 7 AM Mountain Time, USAH will launch the national background screening program. The link with additional information on the national screening program is located at www.usahockey.com/backgroundscreen . This page has all the information about the new background screen,

Also below I have attached a file of FAQ about how the new process will work.

Mayo Clinic King Devick Test Video

Per USA Hockey and MAHA: Starting with 2010/2011 season, youth hockey player cell phones are not allowed in any locker room. With most kids having cell phones with cameras, there is a risk of inappropriate photos being taken and possibly being posted on the web. Hopefully, by keeping the phones out of the locker rooms, this can be avoided.

GTHA is taking this a step further and added to the policy by specifically saying any device capable of taking pictures or video are prohibited from the locker rooms.

GTHA thanks you for your understanding and cooperating with this new national rule.
