Covid = Continual Change

As we have come out of the winter break, there have already been some changes to Covid protocols in many areas of life, including TBird land. We anticipate that we will see a number of changes implemented to deal with the Omicron variant surge and again when we start to see this current wave start to decline.

As a community association that offers programming to a cross section of the community, we must follow all BC government and health authority protocols, and we also have layers added from the sport governing bodies of viaSport, PCAHA, BC Hockey and Hockey Canada. We do our best to get information to our members as quickly as possible in ways that are as clear as possible, but sometimes the water is a bit murky and we often have to look for clarification. Do not hesitate to ask a question if you are uncertain. We are here to help teams find a pathway through. We cannot change the rules, we can only help apply them to our specific environments.

We will have the most up to date information linked to from our home page. For the current on-venue protocols for our teams and visitors at the rink, it is the red box under the top banner. For any of our TBird players or team staff members who have to enter self-isolation protocols for Covid-19 purposes, there is a blue box immediately under the red one with specific information for you.

It is really important that both your team HCSP and the Association knows who is in self-isolation for Covid-19 purposes as we need to monitor for potential transmission within and across groups simultaneously.

• If you are a TBird player or team staff, please complete this form as soon as possible.
• If you are a parent or family member, we do not need to have you complete the form but please ensure you are not coming to the rink if you have symptoms and you are following all protocols for close contacts for any TBird player or team staff you reside with.

Thank you for being part of the reason we can stay on the ice!
