Information from HNL regarding H1N1
H1N1 VIRUS – RECOMMENDED STEPS FOR ALL ASSOCIATIONS AND TEAMS
October 28, 2009
Ladies and Gentlemen:
There is presently much speculation as to the impact that the H1N1 virus will have on Canadians over the next few months. Organizations have been urged to stress to their members steps that should be taken to prevent the spread of the virus, and to have plans in place to alleviate any hardships that may come of the spread of H1N1.
Hockey Canada has for many years had specific steps in place to reduce the spread of any infection in the hockey environment and we urge you to remind your teams of the following.
Team staff need to emphasize to players and parents the need for total cooperation in all aspects concerning hygiene, but specifically to the prevention of the transmission of the H1N1 virus. The following are recommended steps within the team environment:
1. Players should be urged to report all illnesses to their parents and the Safety Person/Trainer. Parents are urged to keep their children away from the hockey environment if they are showing any signs of infectious disease or virus. Sick players are encouraged to see their physician if showing signs or symptoms of the H1N1 virus, and to be fully recovered prior to returning to play.
2. Players should be encouraged to wash hands routinely and always after handling hockey equipment. Frequent hand washing with soap and water is one of the best preventions we can recommend. Teams are encouraged to carry extra hand soap or hand sanitizer as not all arenas have this readily available.
3. Talk to your players about covering their mouths and nose when coughing or sneezing using their arm as opposed to their hands.
4. Advise players to try and not touch their own mouths or nose when in the hockey environment to reduce the chance of them passing an infection on to themselves.
5. Ensure all players and staff have their own water bottles labeled with names and players numbers. Sport drink bottles should be avoided as direct lip contact is possible when drinking.
6. Officials and coaches should avoid drinking from other players water bottles and have water readily available to them on their respective benches.
7. Towels should be removed from all benches. Players should not share towels, clothing, bar soap or other personal items such as razors.
8. Assist athletes in protecting their immune system by stressing they get sufficient sleep, that they do not over train and that they get proper nutrition.
Attached to this Bulletin you will find important information on the H1N1 virus and we suggest distributing this to your team’s staff and parents for their information. You may find additional information on the Health Canada website at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/index-eng.php, or on your applicable Provincial/Territorial sites.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Todd Jackson, Senior Manager Safety and Insurance at tjackson@hockeycanada.ca.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mark Aubry
CMO, Hockey Canada

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO BEGINNER PARENTS!
March 16, 2009
Beginner Parents,
PLEASE NOTE:
At last evening's BAMHA Board of Directors meeting, March 3, 2009, a decision to implement mandatory use of helmets to parent volunteers during the Beginners program was made.
Effective immediately:
1) For the remainder of the 2008/09 minor hockey season, only one parent, or one sibbling of Atom registered players or higher, is permitted on the ice surface with one registered Beginner player at a time. Qualified and approved BAMHA coaches and approved assistants (i.e. : Midget Assistants) may also enter the ice surface to provide instruction.
2) All persons, including parents, coaches, sibblings, assistants, and Beginners themselves, on the ice surface, whether fitted with ice skates or not, must and at all times wear an approved ice hockey helmet for protection in case of slip or fall.
3) In addition, at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season this rule will continue and will include a mandatory fee of $10.00 for parent volunteers who will then become registered and insured volunteers of the BAMHA.
Please be considerate to our Beginner Co-ordinator and Directors as they begin to carry out this ruling.
If you have any questions, please contact me at the below coordinates or speak to your coordinator, Barbara Crane, or to Nelson (Bo) Bennett, Director of Hockey Operations.
Thank you for your cooperation.
